MERN Server

For those who wish to separate MERN Boilerplate into the client and server, this repo is for the server. This project is meant to be used alongside MERN Client.

Requirements

• Operating System: MacOS or Linux
• Node.js (I recommend installing with NVM)
• Homebrew (to install MongoDB)

Quick Start

Setup

npm install

# Install MongoDB
brew tap mongodb/brew
brew install mongodb-community

Start the database

brew services start mongodb-community

for Development and Production

Start the server

npm start

Other Commands

npm test
npm run lint
npm run lint:fix
npm run test:verbose
npm run test:coverage
npm run test:watch

Setup Instructions

Note: This is now a github template project. This makes copying the contents of the project into a new repo very simple.

To setup your own project, you will need to copy the contents of this project into a new repo. You will need to update the content in these files to names of your project and yourself:

• package.json: name, version, description, repository, author, bugs, homepage
• LICENSE: (update to your preferred license)
• this README.md

This is also a good time to go through the included libraries to add or remove features that you want.

After this you can commit the files into a new repository and push up to your github. You can now start updating files in your client to begin working on your own project!
