Stackoverflow Clone

This project is a simplified a full stack clone of Stackoverflow. I wrote it to learn more about Nodejs, React/Next, pixel perfect design and NoSQL databases in general. Feel free to contribute!

🚀 Tech Stack

  • ReactJs
  • NextJs
  • Storybook
  • PostCSS
  • NodeJs
  • Express
  • MongoDB
  • Mongoose

⚠️ Prerequisite

  • node
  • npm
  • mongodb

💿 How to run local

# Clone this repository
$ git clone https://github.com/salihozdemir/stackoverflow-clone

# Go into the repository
$ cd stackoverflow-clone

# Go into server
$ cd server

# Start mongodb locally
$ mongod

# Install dependencies
$ npm install

# Start the backend server
$ npm run dev

# On another terminal, go to the client folder
$ cd ../client

# Install dependencies
$ npm install

# Use the command below for Android devices
$ npm run dev

# To see the incomplete storybook components
npm run storybook

🔎 Testing

Make sure mongodb is running before testing the server.

$ cd server
$ yarn test

There are missing tests on the server side and there are no tests on the client side yet.
