Getting Started with Create React App

SERVER OR BACKEND

Firstly move to the server directory eg: cd server

1. Create a .env file

  The .env file will contain the following:

  i. MONGODB_URL = database connection string

  ii. JWT_SECRET_KEY = your secreate key

  iii. PORT = 8800

  iv. AUTH_EMAIL= email address

  v. AUTH_PASSWORD= email access password

  vi. APP_URL = http://localhost:8800

  Note: I used hotmail account to send verification email, so you can just create one because hotmail account is reliable in product and has no configuration.

  Alos, chnage API_URL when you deploy your app else use localhost with the appropriate port number

2. Run npm install to install the packages

3. Run npm start to start the server
