# Working on the new api
## Connecting to local database
The api uses the ORM Prisma and it needs the MongoDB instance to be a replica set.
### Atlas
If you use MongoDB Atlas, the set is managed for you.
### Local
The simplest way to run a replica set locally is to use the docker-compose file
in /tools.
```bash
cd tools
docker compose up -d
```
The new db will be empty, so you can run the seed script to populate it.
```bash
cd ../.. # back to the root of the repo
pnpm seed
```
## Login in development/testing
During development and testing, the api exposes the endpoint GET auth/dev-callback. Calling this will log you in as the user with the email `foo@bar.com` by setting the session cookie for that user.
