Workflow

Add your name to the backend env file. Frontend will call an API and will get a response with your name. Then your name will be shown in the frontend.

Getting started with the backend

1. Get into the backend folder by running "cd backend" on the terminal.
2. Run "npm install" or "npm i" on the terminal to install the required node modules.
3. Create a new file .env on the root, copy the code from .env.example file to .env file.
4. Replace the DB credentials and add your name to the env variable NAME.
5. Now run "npm start" to run the backend.
6. If the database is connected you can see "DB Connected" on the terminal / log.

Getting started with the frontend

1. Get into the frontend folder by running "cd frontend" on the terminal.
2. Run "npm install" or "npm i" on the terminal to install the required node modules.
3. Create a new file .env on the root, copy the code from .env.example file to .env file. Replace the API url with your node API URL.
4. Now run "npm run build" and it should provide you the build files in frontend/build directory.
