db-excalidraw

This app is a server that stores Excalidraw drawings for others to use. It's different from the Excalidraw library because it's not for sharing components for others to use in their drawings; it's meant for users to be able to share and create different versions of the drawings they create.

Project tools

If you are using VSCode to edit, you can download the Excalidraw extension to view the system design for the project, or copy the raw JSON into the browser.

Setting Up Postgres

To set up the database you might need to download psql. psql -f internal/db/schema.sql

You can seed the database with this command psql -d excalidb -f internal/database/seed.sql

Full command:

psql -f internal/database/schema.sql;psql -d excalidb -f internal/database/seed.sql
