Export

The Tidepool export service.

Running as part of the Tidepool Stack

The easiest way to run the Tidepool export service is as part of the Tidepool Development environment. You'll have to uncomment the export service in the docker-compose.yml, but after that, you can just run docker-compose up -d, and you're all set.

Setup

If you want to develop any part of the export service, you can run the service locally on Node.

1. Install Node version 20.8.0 or later. NVM is highly recommended.
2. Execute nvm use to use the correct version of Node.
3. Install Yarn.
4. Execute yarn to install all dependencies

Execute

yarn start:dev will start the service in development mode. It will watch for changes and restart the service as needed.

Testing

yarn test will run the tests.

Linting

yarn lint will run the linter.

Building

yarn build will build the service.
