Contributing

PMReferrals is built using NodeJS (and the Express HTTPS server). It uses MongoDB as a database, and Handlebars as a templating engine for both the pages and emails.

To get it set up for local development on your own machine, you will need to:

1. Fork and clone.
2. Install NodeJS and MongoDB.
3. Run npm install in the project directory you cloned to.
4. Set up a MongoDB local database and configure the environment variables.
5. In the root folder of the project, create a ".env" file with the environment variables shown in the next section (change the values to suit).
6. Once that's done, run npm start in the project directory to launch a local instance of PMReferrals.

Environment Variables

The project reads environment variables from a .env file in the root directory. Change the values to suit your setup.
