Getting Started

• Original article https://blog.cleancoder.com/uncle-bob/2012/08/13/the-clean-architecture.html
• Good article (from a good series) https://edwardthienhoang.wordpress.com/2017/12/13/clean-architecture-standing-on-the-shoulders-of-giants/
• The book https://www.amazon.com/Clean-Architecture-Craftsmans-Software-Structure-dp-0134494164/dp/0134494164/

Build and Test

1. npm i (shorthand for npm install)
2. Create a PostgreSQL database "clean-arch-demo"
3. Setup connection details in src/Gateways/PostgreSQL/Bootstrap.ts
4. Hit F5 from VSCode or npm start
5. Make API calls with your REST client of choice (https://www.postman.com/ or https://insomnia.rest/)
   • or use the REST Client VSCode extension (you'll be prompted to install it on the very first workspace load)
   • go to rest-client top-level folder and look at any of the .http files
