An app using Express, Mongoose, and mongoDB to track fitness progress over time. Users can input their fitness data, tracking workouts and exercises within those workouts, which will be stored in a NoSQL database.
The Mongoose schema has Exercises as a populated field in Workouts. Additionally, I used Mongoose's discriminator mechanism to inherit and extend Exercise attributes.
I also used Mongoose's virtual attribute function to calculate total duration for the homepage.

- Clone this repo.
- Set up your local MongoDB URI inside a .env file. My .env file contained:
MONGODB_URI=mongodb://localhost:27017/fitnessTrackerDB - Use your preferred method to establish environmental variables - I used VSCode's built-in launch configurations with the added parameter
"envFile": "${workspaceFolder}/.env". - Launch your app with
npm startornode server.js.
A Note: Hosting with Heroku takes a few more steps. You can find more instructions on how to set up Heroku here, and how to connect your MongoDB Atlas cloud db with Heroku.
Create a new workout or add to an existing one.
Each exercise can be either cardio or resistance.
View your progress over time on the dashboard and current stats on the homepage.
