The api acts as a mediator between our front-end and database.
In the seed-db directory you'll find the setup.sh file. This file runs a bash script to seed/put data into mongodb. Now that our front end is requesting and is dependent on real data, we need to make sure we can provide it.
Note: Your db needs to be running in order to seed it.
mongod
in your terminal will start mongodb
Note: In order to run the seed script the correct permission need to be set the setup.sh file.
chmod 740 /path/to/setup.sh
will enable execution rights to the file/path/to/setup.sh
will run the setup script.
Should see a console output similar to:
2018-10-11T00:17:50.289-0400 connected to: localhost
2018-10-11T00:17:50.296-0400 imported 6 documents
Once thats set start the api!
npm i
npm start
