Debugging a CRUD app with Node, Express, MongoDB, and Mongoose.
This lab is making sure you know how to debug a full-stack JavaScript app using Node, Express, and MongoDB.
- Fork and clone this repo
- Install dependencies:
npm install - Get MongoDB up and running:
mongod - Seed your database:
node seed.js - Start your server:
nodemon
-
Go to
localhost:3000. Stuff should be broken - no manatees are showing up. Let's start fixing them! -
Go to 'api/manatees' – you'll see in your Node terminal that there are some server-side issues
- Make sure all your require paths and
module.exportskeys are correct - After you fix all the errors, go to 'api/manatees' to make sure it works
- Make sure all your require paths and
-
Go to 'api/manatees' to see your seeded manatees
- You'll see that your seed did not work properly (they are missing names!)
- Fix your code so that the manatees all get names when seeded
- Re-seed your database after you make this fix
-
Check your console for any errors - you'll see a 404
- Make sure that the URL you're requesting from the front-end corresponds to a route in the back-end
-
Once you fix the URL, you'll see another error in your console:
allManateesFromServer is not defined- Look at the line # to see where this should be fixed
-
You'll see another error in your console:
renderManatee is not defined- Look at the line # to see where this should be fixed
-
Information is still not showing up on the page! Look at your
renderManateefunction to see why it's not working- Make sure manatees are being appended to the correct div
- Make sure manatee names and images are showing up as well
