# DataServer

In distribution folder, CalJsonGenerator.js file contains code to generate data needed to supply to CalenStyle.
Sometimes, this process of generating data on frontend itself may result in degraded performance of Calenstyle View. To tackle this problem DataServer is provided.
DataServer can be used to generate data(events, appointments) needed to supply to CalenStyle.

## Usage

# Start Node Server "DataServer"

1. Make sure that node.js is installed. If not install it from https://nodejs.org/en/download/
2. Change directory to path of DataServer 
	(for example, cd "/Volumes/MyVolume1/DataServer")
3. Run command "npm install"
4. Run command "npm start"

After running this, you can see "Express server listening on port 3000"
