These are the starter files and stepped solutions to accompany the LearnNode.com course.
You'll start your application in the starter-files directory — feel free to rename it.
If you need help, each folder number corresponds with where you should be at the start of a video. So if you are having trouble with video 24, look to video 25 for the answer.
The stepped solutions are meant for you to apply on top of your existing code - they don't stand on their own.
Not all videos have a solution as their changes aren't significant enough.
Need some help? Want to chat with the other learners? The Slack Chat that accompanies this course is where you should be asking questions — this repo is meant as a place to grab the starter files and isn't a support channel.
If you found a different / better way to solve problems in the application, great! These files are meant to be as close to 1:1 as they are shown in the videos so I generally won't accept any pull requests for changing how the application functions.
Glaring errors, clarifications and files that aren't shown in the videos are totally fair game for pull requests and are appreciated.
Enjoy!
Check out this answer on stack overflow to get mongoDB running locally.
Thanks to Chris Ellinger for this:
If you’re getting a
URIError: URI malformederror when runningnpm start, break out your environment variables. Go intovariables.envand split the URI like thisMONGO_URI=mongodb://host.com:portDB_USER=usernameandDB_PASS=password. Then inside yourstart.jsreplacemongoose.connect(process.env.DATABASE)withmongoose.connect(process.env.MONGO_URI, {user: process.env.DB_USER, pass: process.env.DB_PASS});. I had issues connecting to my mongodb because my password contained symbols.
