CodeNation-MasterCourse--mongooseCLI

A command line interface (CLI) tool, powered by nodeJS, that can be used to manage a movie database. It uses Yargs, dotEnv and mongoose on a mongoDB backend. It accepts flexible arguments for CRUD operations, adding and removing fields.

• Create an .env file in the root folder that has to contain something similar to this:

MONGO_URI = mongodb+srv://<user>:<pass>@cluster0.<cluster-name>.mongodb.net/m37movies?retryWrites=true&w=majority

• You can get your own by creating an Atlas account at https://www.mongodb.com/
• Run npm install to install all dependencies.
