This project uses MongoDB, ExpressJS, ReactJS and Node with a slight help of Axios.

This is a simple example of how to make a MERN stack application. The focus of this project is mainly on backend part and not the styling of the application.

Setting up the project locally

This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.

You need to first clone the repository by the following command

git clone https://github.com/rak-shit/MERN-stack-Todo.git

Then you need to install add the dependencies in the root directory. This project mainly uses, Express, Node, React, MongoDB and Axios.

You first need to install node and setup the react develpment environment. Then you can download and install MongoDB from the official mongo website MongoDB Download.

Then you can install dependencies like Express, body-parser, cors, mongoose and nodemon by the following command in the root directory or the server directory which is inside the root directory

npm install express body-parser cors mongoose nodemon

Then in the root directory install Axios using

npm insall axios

This step finishes the setting up of the project locally

nodemon index.js

This will run the server on the PORT 3000.

To run the client:

Go to the client directory and type the following command on the command line:
