# identity-api

The Identity API, takes care of storing user data.

## Development and local testing

1. Copy the `.env.example` file: `cp .env.example .env`
2. Run `yarn` to install the dependencies.
    - You may need to [enable Corepack](https://nodejs.org/api/corepack.html).
3. Run `yarn start` to start the server.
    - **Note:** The `asset-api` server **must** be running before this command is run. [More info](./docs/asset-implementation.md).
    - You may need to create an empty folder at `$/identity-api/.database`.
4. You're ready to go! You will need to restart the server manually when you make changed (unless you use something like [Nodemon](https://www.npmjs.com/package/nodemon)).
