Usage (run fullstack app on your machine)

Prerequisites

• MongoDB
• Node ^10.0.0
• npm

notice, you need client and server runs concurrently in different terminal session, in order to make them interactive and update the cors if you are hosting the client in any other port rather than 3000.

Client-side usage(PORT: 3000)

$ cd client   // go to client folder
$ npm i       // npm install packages
$ npm run dev // run it locally

// deployment for client app
$ npm run build // this will compile the client side code using webpack and generate a folder called public(you can rename) in the root level

Server-side usage(PORT: 8000)

Prepare your secret

run the script at the first level:

(You need to add a JWT_SECRET in .env to connect to MongoDB)

// in the root level
$ echo "JWT_SECRET=YOUR_JWT_SECRET" >> ./server/.env

Start

$ cd server   // go to server folder
$ npm i       // npm install packages
$ npm start   // run it locally

Deploy Server to Heroku

$ npm i -g heroku
$ heroku login
...
$ heroku create
$ npm run heroku:add <your-super-amazing-heroku-app>
// remember to run this command in the root level, not the server level, so if you follow the documentation along, you may need to do `cd ..`
$ pwd
/Users/<your-name>/mern
$ npm run deploy:heroku

After creating heroku

remember to update the file of client/.env.local/
