Prerequisites

Before you get started, make sure you have the following software installed on your computer:

• Node.js
• MongoDB Atlas
• Nodemon
• Typescript

Create an atlas account and cluster

Go to mongodb and sign up for a free tier cluster. Add a MONGO_URI to a .env file

Local Setup Instructions

• Run npm install
• Create a .env file at the root of the project and paste this line into the file:

  SERVER_SESSION_SECRET=superDuperSecret
  NODE_ENV = development
  MONGO_URI=mongo uri
  **FOR TESTING PURPOSE ONLY**
  TEST_USER=username for website
  TEST_PASSWORD=password for website
  TEST_EMAIL=email for sending emails
  

  While you're in your new .env file, take the time to replace superDuperSecret with some long random string like 25POUbVtx6RKVNWszd9ERB9Bb6 to keep your application secure. Here's a site that can help you: https://passwordsgenerator.net/. If you don't do this step, create a secret with less than eight characters, or leave it as superDuperSecret, you will get a warning.
• Run npm run server
• Run npm run client
• Navigate to localhost:3000
