A personal collection of links to other webpages using React, Express, and MongoDB. Written in Typescript and running on Node.js.
In each directory, run npm install to install the needed packages
To start the server and connect to a MongoDB instance, you'll need to define some environment variables in a .env file.
E.g. something like
MONGODB_URI=<Your main database URI here>
PORT=<Your port number here; used for the express server>
SECRET=<any string here; used for verifying json webtokens>
TEST_MONGODB_URI=<Your test database URI here; only used when running tests>Note: see here for more details on connecting using mongoose.
Then run npm run release to compile the Typescript and start the server.
To run any of the api integration tests in server/src/tests, the TEST_MONGODB_URI variable must be defined and valid. To run all tests, use npm run test.
Run npm run dev to start the Vite project.
