Lint

A Mint clone designed to further understanding of the Plaid API

Prerequisites

Install node
Install npm
Install docker
Install docker-compose

Setup

Download this source code into a working directory.

Install the requirements using npm for the client:

cd Client && npm install
Install the requirements using npm for the server:

cd Server && npm install

This will install all the required packages and libraries for using both the Node.js Server and the React Client.

Update both of the key.js files (one in Client and in Server) to use the correct Plaid credentials supplied to you by Plaid

Update the MonogoDB server connection url cd Server

Open app.js
Edit the mongoose.connect() string to use the IP and PORT your mongo server is running on

Note: In my workflow (using docker-compose) I run my mongo server on PORT 9090 instead of the default mongodb port of 27017 so my connection string would be mongodb://localhost:9090/users?authSource=admin

Usage

Run the MongoDB server using the following command:

cd Server && docker-compose up

Run the server using the following command:

cd Server && npm start

The server will run on localhost:3001

Start the client using the following command:

cd Client && npm start

Visit localhost:3000 to see the running website!

Series

Checkout my YouTube channel where I release videos as I develop the app.
