Environment Setup

Generic

1. install node https://nodejs.org/en/download/
2. I use webstorm you can use sublime or w/e for your IDE
3. clone the repo, run npm install from the base directory (the one with package.json) to pull in all depndencies of the project
4. run the project with nodemon ./server - nodemon makes it so you dont have to refresh the server each time you make a change and the executable is server
5. go to localhost:8000 to test out a random page with a list of champions from LoL
6. localhost:8000/form is just a test form that we will use later to do stuff, if you submit the form notice how the server knows what you submitted.

2. ./mongod has started the mongo server, open up another terminal window go to mongo directory run ./mongo

Usefull commands (that i have encountered)

1. db --> shows name of db
2. db.data.insert({"username":"max"}) --> inserts json object into mongo's collection
3. db.data.find() --> prints out entire db collection
