Prerequisites 👨‍💻

Install Node JS

Refer to https://nodejs.org/en/ to install nodejs

Install create-react-app

Install create-react-app npm package globally. This will help to easily run the project and also build the source files easily. Use the following command to install create-react-app

npm install -g create-react-app

Cloning and Running the Application in local 💻

Clone the project in localhost

git clone https://github.com/betaoverflow/project-speakerhub.git

Install all the npm packages. Go into the client folder and type the following command to install all npm packages

npm install

In order to run the application Type the following command

npm start

The Application Runs on localhost:3000

To spin up the backend server

Navigate to the main project folder in a seperate terminal. Then install all npm packages

npm install 

If you don't have nodemon globally installed on your system, install it so the server can autorefresh

npm install -g nodemon

Now it's time to spin up the backend server. Run the lines

nodemon server.js

If you get an error immediately, don't worry. The final step is to connect to the MongoDB database.

Note: The Server Runs on localhost:5000

Connecting to the Database

Spin up your cluster in MongoDB and replace your connection with URI in config/keys.js If you face any problems, refer to the MongoDB website.

Connecting to the Database if you haven't used MongoDB Atlas before

Install the MongoDB Node.js Driver with the following command:

npm install mongodb

Set up a MongoDB Atlas Database by following this short MongoDB setup video till the 3:20 mark. Stop after that mark!

On your Cluster home page, select CONNECT > Connect your application.

1. Select Node.js in the drop down for your driver, and select the latest version.
2. Then, copy the connecting string (URI).
3. Paste this string as the value of mongoURI inside config/keys.js of this project.

Replace the <password> section of the string with your Database Access password. Viola, your server should now successfuly connect to MongoDB!
