Pressure Tracker

This is the back-end API for my data charting web application. My second go at building an app focused on tracking the effect of quick barometric pressure change on chronic health issues. It does this by collecting user health symptoms and local barometric pressure.

Pressure Tracker is a RESTful API created using Node.js and Express. I'm using a CronJob to get the barometric pressure for my zipcode every hour, and save it in my PostgreSQL database.

The front-end repo is here: github.com/faetea/weatherFront

Deployed application is here: faetea.github.io/weatherFront

Installation

git clone and npm install.

Running / Development

Run npm start, visit your app at http://localhost:3000.
