This is a basic template to get you started with the CatWiki challenge. It contains a frontend and a backend, with some very basic interaction between them. Feel free to modify whatever you wish, or to start completely from scratch! 😺
To start up the backend Node.js server, run the following command in your terminal (note: you'll need to have Node v16.x or above installed):
npm start
The server will run on port 3001 by default. You can test it by running something like this:
curl localhost:3001/api
{"message":"Hello from CatWiki!"}
Open a new tab, and run the following commands in your terminal:
cd client
npm start
This should open up a new page in your default web browser at localhost:3000.
At this point, you should see the placeholder CatWiki app homepage.
From the client directory, run the following:
npm test
This will run the test suite for you.
First, make sure you have a Heroku account, and have successfully logged
in to Heroku on the command line via heroku login.
You'll need to create a new Heroku app (if you haven't already). You can
do this with the following (replace ${insert-your-app-name-here} with the
word catwiki followed by your actual name, e.g. catwiki-johnsmith):
heroku app:create ${insert-your-app-name-here}
Next we need to add a Git remote for Heroku and commit any changes:
heroku git:remote -a ${insert-your-app-name-here}
git add .
git commit -am "Deploy app to Heroku"
Finally we can push our code to the Heroku remote, which will automatically build and run our app for us.
git push heroku master
You'll then be able to access your app at
http://${insert-your-app-name-here}.herokuapp.com! 🎉
git remote add origin [email protected]:${your-github-username}/catwiki.git
git push origin master
