5. Run MongoDB

brew services run mongodb-community

If everything goes right, you can type

Automatic Starting

1. Enabling clicking script file instead of using terminal

Open terminal app. Navigate to the project root directory in the terminal. And paste the following code:

chmod a+x start_server.sh
chmod a+x start_client.sh

This changes the admin setting for the start_server.sh and start_client.sh files so that you can simply double click the scripts to start the project.

Now you can close the terminal, and navigate to the project directory and double click on start_server.sh, and then start_client.sh to start the project.

1.1 If double clicking does not work

If double clicking does not work, in the terminal in the project directory, run

bash start_server.sh

and then open another terminal and run

bash start_client.sh

Manual Starting

1. Start the server app

Inside /api folder, delete node_modules and package-lock.json if exist (you only need to run this first time), then open terminal and run

npm install
node index.js

2. Start the client app

Likewise, inside /client folder follow the same process and run

npm install
npm start

This should start up a browser with localhost:3000. If nothing shows up, manually type in localhost:8000 on a internet browser.

Development

Linter

Inside client run

npx eslint . --fix
