💻 MERN stack template

Template for building projects with the MERN (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js) stack. This template was generated using create-react-app and express-generator for the client and server, respectively.

Prerequisites

• Install Node and npm here
• Install yarn with the command npm install -g yarn
• Set up a MongoDB Atlas instance. See this video for help!
• Create a .env file with a variable called DB_URL and paste your MongoDB url:

DB_URL=mongodb://mongodburl.example.com:portnumber

Running

1. cd into client and run the command npm install to install all dependencies
2. To start the client, run npm start in the same directory
3. In another command window, cd into server and run npm install and npm start to install all dependencies and start the server.
4. Happy hacking!
