This repository holds code for the backend of the Wahine Kai Membership Database application. Contained in this repository is code for the backend of the application.

There are a few prerequisites required to develop this backend. These prerequisites are below. Please download and install the prerequisites below to work with the code.

1. .NET 5 is required to build and test the code.
2. Docker Desktop is required to build, push, and otherwise work with the production Docker containers.
3. Python 3 is required to run the build helper script (build.py).

To build a development version, run the following command from the root of this repository: ./build.py -d. This will build a development version of the application for testing. The application has hot reloading - meaning any changes will be re-compiled without user intervention.

To test a release candidate locally, build the release Docker container with ./build.py -b. It is possible to then test that release version with ./build.py -p.

1. Create documentation & build script for pushing to Github Packages.
2. Create & integrate Docker Compose for development & release full-stack testing.
3. Add local Cosmos DB emulator to script.
4. Documentation on environment variable adding
