Twitter_backend

Description

A full-stack Twitter clone app built using Node.js, Express.js, React.js, and MongoDB.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine.

Prerequisites

Make sure you have a running MongoDB instance.

Configuration

Create file server/.env and update the values of your configuration.

Installing

Install server dependencies

$ cd server
$ npm install

Start the server in development mode

$ cd server
$ nodemon index.js

If everything was successful, you should see the messages being displayed in the terminal, telling that the server has successfully connected to a MongoDB and runs on a given port.

Now, the backend should be running on http://localhost:4000.
