Create LOCAL - .env file and add "NODE_ENV=development"

Note: the docker is not properly set up.

To set up the development environment, you need to install the following dependencies:

1. Node.js and npm:

   • You can download Node.js and npm from nodejs.org.

2. Gatsby:

   • To install Gatsby, run the following command in your terminal:

     npm install -g gatsby

3. JSON Server:

   • To install JSON Server, run the following command in your terminal:

     npm install -g json-server

After installing the dependencies, you can set up and run the application:

1. Install project dependencies:

   • Run the following command in your project directory to install the required dependencies:

     npm install

2. Start the Gatsby development server:

   • To start the Gatsby application, run the following command:

     gatsby develop

3. Start the JSON Server for API:

   • To start the JSON Server for your API, use the following command:

     json-server --watch json-server/db.json --port 3001

   • This is important as this is the server that holds all the puppy data and adopter data

4. Open the app on http://localhost:8000/

Some notes:

1. The Puppy and Adopters data is saved in pups\app\json-server. This serves as the api server

Now, your development environment should be set up and both the Gatsby application and JSON Server should be running.
