MERN-Forum

I have made some changes from the original repo https://github.com/xrystalll/MERN-Forum

Installation

• Clone and npm install backend and frontend(/client)

Not needed as I've already set these values

• Fill environment (rename file .env.development to .env)

  • PORT - Express server port
  • BACKEND - The address where located backend
  • CLIENT - The address where located the react client. The backend and client must point to each other and can be the same if running on the same address
  • MONGODB - Your MongoDB url
  • SECRET - You can generate a secret key by execute the /src/modules/utils/generate_keys.js file in console

• Set backend address for client in file /client/src/support/Constants.js

Launch

• Go to the client folder cd client
• Build client production build with the command npm run build or run with the command npm start
• Run backend with the command npm start or in development mode npm run dev
