## TODO:

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

***
### Requirements
You MUST have php version 7+ and [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/download/), and a database like Mysql, or postgresql, or mongodb, or any database that Doctrine can handle.
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 dependencies with Composer


there are examples of request to make it all work in the [doc/examples.md](doc/examples.md).


### install the vendors
```bash
composer install
```
### 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.
