Getting Started

Prerequisites

Install the latest versions of these programs from here:

• NodeJS v14 or higher
• MongoDB

Installation

1. Clone this repository from GitHub:

git clone https://github.com/RogueArt/pokedex.git
cd pokedex # All commands will be executed from this folder

2. Install the packages for the client and server:

npm run build

3. Replace the .env.example with a .env file.
   1. Change the MONGO_URI value to the URI for where your MongoDB instance is hosted.
   2. Change the SECRET value to a randomly generated hash. This is used for encrypting passwords.

Running

Run both the client and server using npm run start from the pokedex folder.

TO-DO

My goal is to refactor this code some point in time. A lot of this was written in a matter of days so I hope to make this more maintainable for the future.
