Setup a local database with your service

You know that we care about your time, so we created a local launcher for your services. But you also know that your services have a local database to store your objects.  Let's setup a local Postgre database.
This tutorial covers postgre setup for mac. Follow postgre site instruction for other OS.
I love working with their simplest version: postgreapp. Go there and download it.​
Launch the application. You have your local postgre database. You should see a small icon of postgre in your menu top bar.
Now you can go in any of your services folders and and edit codestore.yaml file. You should see something like that :
serviceId: 145
localConfiguration:
  database:
    port: 5432
    database: database
    password: password
    username: username
    host: localhost
  application:
    port: 3000
 Change the database name, password, and username to the ones from postgre configuration.​
To test your connection, nothing more simple : execute in the root folder of your service cs dev command. You should see something like that : 
cs dev
