blog-mern

A full stack blog application I am making to learn the in's and out's of MERN stack.

Setup

Note: Make sure you have nodejs installed on your system. Type the following in the terminal to find out. node -v

In the project folder:

• To run server:

cd server 
npm run dev

• To run client (React):

cd client 
npm start

Environmental Variable:

These are things present in my .env that I've not included here for security reasons.

• MONGO_URI

Go to mongo db atlas and get a URI (Just google) Then replace MONGO_URI throughout the project with your URI key.

• ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET

Simply create a random string in place of this throughout. eg. : ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET = dajfkjdsahfkjkf3434
