The back-end of qGrowth project for Hoohacks2020, written in Javascript

• Node.js
• MongoDB or MongoDB Altas
• Express

git clone https://github.com/E2Slayer/qGrowth-Backend.git

npm install -y

"port": WRITE_YOUR_PORT

Originally, it would be "process.env.PORT" because this back-end will run in Heroku,

so I have to let Herouku server decide the port instead of my custom port

const uri =  EDIT_HERE

If you are using MongoDB, the connection uri looks like

mongodb://localhost/

For MongoDB Atlas, it looks like

mongodb+srv://<username>:<passowrd>@<server>.gcp.mongodb.net/test?retryWrites=true&w=majority'

npm start dev

If your server starts successfully, the log display like below

MongoDB connection with retry
app listening at port 3600
MongoDB is connected
