Laying the Tracks for Your Node.js Database Setup Introduction When you’re starting a Node.js project, it’s not uncommon to reach a point where you need a database. Maybe you’re just testing workflows, or maybe you’re heading toward something serious. Regardless, having a consistent and automated way to set up both your database and initial data is invaluable. This guide will show you how to: Choose a database library. Install that database and integrate it into your Node.js project. Write migrations (if necessary) to keep track of schema changes. Seed the database with initial data so everyone is on the same page from the start. We’ll assume you’re using SQLite for simplicity because it’s ridiculously easy to set up—no dedicated database server required, just a single file. But the concepts here apply to other databases (like PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc.) once you learn the ropes. Step 1: Setting Up Your Project Before we jump into the database portion, you need a Node.js projec...

At its heart, EDORA revolves around one unifying concept: the "Need." This abstract entity is the fuel driving every interaction, every relationship, and every action within the system. Tonight, we delve deeper into how this "Need" operates, focusing on its workflows, relationships, and the technical schemas that bring it to life. The "Need" isn’t just a request or a problem to solve. It’s a carefully nurtured process that moves through a lifecycle of interactions, bridging clients, caseworkers, providers, specialists, and the system itself. By creating an intricate yet flexible framework, EDORA aims to ensure that no "Need" is left unmet. Understanding the Lifecycle of a ...
