return stack of votes when we want to get the configuration of one poll (see [doc/examples.md](doc/examples.md))

***

Setup access to database by creating a .env.local file, and fill the database user and password data.
you can check that the database connection works with the command:
```bash  
php bin/console doctrine:schema:validate
```

## Getting started

# Development

### install the vendors
```bash

### configure database access in .env.local file
This project can use any database system, we provide config for mysql.

If you need to setup mysql, a database and a user, read the [database_creation](doc/database_creation.md) doc. Before customizing your local environment config.
the .env.local file will not be versionned by git, so no risk to set the mysql credentials in here as long as file access are well done.

You can copy the model env file and customize it last line to access mysql.
```bash
cp doc/env-example .env.local
```
look for the line like this
> DATABASE_URL=mysql://framadate-admin:framadate-admin-password@127.0.0.1:5432/framadate-api

 and change its values for `framadate-admin` , `framadate-admin-password`, `framadate-api`.
 
### initiate the database with fixtures
```bash 
php bin/console doctrine:schema:drop --force
php bin/console doctrine:schema:create
php bin/console doctrine:fixtures:load --no-interaction --purge-with-truncate
```
### launch local server with
```bash
php bin/console server:run
```


# Production
set a virtual host on your server, configure CORS access to have the API to work.
configure database access in a .env.local file , replace variables
DATABASE_URL=mysql://database_user:db_user_password@127.0.0.1:3306/database_name
this file is not versionned and should stay like this.
