Built With

This project uses the following technologies:

• React and React Router for frontend
• Express and Node for the backend
• MongoDB for the database
• Redux for state management between React components
• Plaid for linking bank accounts

Configuration

You will need to create a keys_dev.js in the server config folder with

module.exports = {
  mongoURI: 'YOUR_OWN_MONGO_URI',
  secretOrKey: 'YOUR_OWN_SECRET'
};

Additionally, you will need your own Plaid API keys (PLAID_CLIENT_ID, PLAID_SECRET, and PLAID_PUBLIC_KEY) and create a keys_plaid.js in server config folder & create a plaid-keys.js in a plaid-keys folder in client/src

1. config/keys_plaid.js

module.exports = {
  plaidClientId: "YOUR_OWN_PLAID_CLIENT_ID",
  plaidSecret: "YOUR_OWN_PLAID_SECRET",
  plaidPublicKey: "YOUR_OWN_PLAID_PUBLIC_ID"
};

2. client/src/plaid-keys/plaid-keys.js

export const plaidClientId = "YOUR_OWN_PLAID_CLIENT_ID";
export const plaidSecret = "YOUR_OWN_PLAID_SECRET";
