Clients and providers

In development, we run server and client separately.

In production, server serves built client from dist folder.

To test database operations locally, please install MongoDB.

Before running the app, please ensure that your MongoDB server is up.

Docs generated with swagger is located at /api-docs on the server

Project setup for development

Make sure that NODE_ENV environment variable is set like this: NODE_ENV=development

cp .env-example .env

Make sure to configure valid MONGODB_URL

npm install

Compiles and hot-reloads for development both server and client

npm run all

You can run server and client separately with following commands

npm run server
npm run client

Run in production

Make sure that NODE_ENV environment variable is set like this: NODE_ENV=production and valid MONGODB_URL is configured

Command to build the client

npm run build

Command to run the app

npm run start

Notes:

I'm using my own middleware for cross origin resource sharing. CORS is required only for development because server and client are on different origins.
