We've not currently chosen a server to serve the backend code to the client, therefore, the project only works locally from development enviroments.

+=== Packages ===
+== ts-node ==
 [[https://www.npmjs.com/package/ts-node |ts-node]] is a typescript execution engine that allows us to write this project as typescript instead of javascript. ts-node is essentially a `source-to-source compiler` / `transpiler`, as it  turns one language into another, i.e. typescript into javascript.
-=== GraphQL (Apollo) ===
+== GraphQL (Apollo) ==
 We use [[https://www.apollographql.com/ |Apollo GraphQL]] as our implementation of GraphQL.
 ([[https://odyssey.apollographql.com/ |Tutorial here]])
-=== cross-env ===
+== cross-env ==
 [[https://www.npmjs.com/package/cross-env |cross-env]] is used for setting the environment mode the project is run in, in a OS independant way. It is used in the package.json file.
-=== blipp ===
 [[https://www.npmjs.com/package/blipp |blipp]] is a simple hapi plugin to display the routes table to console at startup.
