TODO-APP

Project Structure

The repository is organized into two main directories:

client: Contains the frontend code.
server: Houses the backend code.

Getting Started

To run the app locally, follow these steps:

Frontend

Navigate to the client directory in your terminal.
Run the following command to install dependencies:
```
$ npm install
```
Start the frontend server:
```
$ npm run start
```
Make sure you have Node.js and npm installed on your machine.

Backend

Create a MongoDB account on MongoDB Atlas.
Create a new project and obtain your project credentials.
In the root directory of the server folder, create a file named .env.

Inside the .env file, set up the DATABASE_URI using your MongoDB credentials.

DATABASE_URI=mongodb+srv://<username>:<password>@cluster0.mongodb.net/<dbname>?retryWrites=true&w=majority

Navigate to the server directory in your terminal.
Run the following command to install backend dependencies:
```
$ npm install
```
Start the backend server:
```
$ npm run start
```

Ensure that these steps are followed consistently to set up and run the MERN (MongoDB, Express.js, React, Node.js) app on your local environment.
