Encouraging mindful eating

This is my disseration project for my degree in Digital Media BSc (Hons) at the University of the West of England.

It is a web application designed to promote mindful food choices and self-reflection in regards to the foods we choose to eat.

The application is built using MongoDB, Express, React and Node.js.

To run the project locally:

Note: you will not be provided with a database username and password. You will need to set up your own MLab account (for free) to use this project which can be done here

1. Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/jamieomaguire/create-technology-project-uwe.git

2. Change directory and install the packages

cd create-technology-project-uwe

npm install

3. In the server.js file replace your the database URI with the MongoDB URI MLab provides you when setting up your free account. It will look like this:

mongodb://<DBUSERNAME>:<DBPASSWORD>@ds025439.mlab.com:25439/nom-noms;

4. Now you can simply run the start-dev script to run the project locally:

npm run start-dev

The application will now be running on port 3000, and the API will be running on port 3001
