Happy Finder Server

Happy Finder Server is the backend server that supports the Happy Finder mobile app. The server is a Node backend that exposes APIs that read and store data to/from a Mongo database. The server has the following endpoints:

Establishments

Places

Wrapper around the Google Maps API, returning lists of businesses based on specific search criteria (ie. keyword, lat/lng, etc).

Suggestions

List of crowd sourced suggestions for potential deals. Suggestions are vetted and either rejected or later turned into establishments.

Create .env, using .env.ex as a template, and fill in any missing values for your environment.
