Usage

ES Modules in Node

We use ECMAScript Modules in the backend in this project. Be sure to have at least Node v14.6+ or you will need to add the "--experimental-modules" flag.

Also, when importing a file (not a package), be sure to add .js at the end or you will get a "module not found" error

You can also install and setup Babel if you would like

ENV variables

Create a .env file in the root and add the following into this

NODE_ENV=development
PORT=5000
MONGO_URI= your mongo uri
JWT_SECRET=abc123
PAYPAL_CLIENT_ID= your paypal client id
CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME=your cloudinary cloud name
CLOUDINARY_KEY=cloudinary key
CLOUDINARY_SECRET=cloudinary secret

• Note:- I have used cloudinary for storing images url
