Technologies Used:
- FrontEnd: React.js, React-Redux, (Redux?), React Hooks, React-Bootstrap, Redux-thunk, Axios
- Database: MongoDB, mongoose, MongoDB Atlas
- BackEnd: Node.js, Express.js, Passport.js, JsonWebToken
For configuring the environment variables there are two common approaches:
- Creating a .env file in your root directory with KEY=VALUE pairs assigned and fetching those keys in server.js file using dotenv()
# Sample .env file
MONGO_URI='mongodb://dbuser:dbpass@host:port/dbname'
# Server.js
require('dotenv').config();
const mongoURI = process.env.MONGO_URI
- Export a config file with {KEY:VALUE} pairs. Import the file and use the required variables.
# Sample config file
module.exports = {
MONGO_URI: 'mongodb://dbuser:dbpass@host:port/dbname'
}
# Server.js
const mongoURI = require(pathToConfig).MONGO_URI;
// Install dependencies for server & client
npm install && npm run client-install
// Run client & server with concurrently
npm run dev
