For those who wish to separate MERN Boilerplate into the client and server, this repo is for the server. This project is meant to be used alongside MERN Client.

• Operating System: MacOS or Linux
• Node.js (I recommend installing with NVM)
• Homebrew (to install MongoDB)

npm install

# Install MongoDB
brew tap mongodb/brew
brew install mongodb-community

Start the database

brew services start mongodb-community

Start the server

npm start

npm test
npm run lint
npm run lint:fix
npm run test:verbose
npm run test:coverage
npm run test:watch

Note: This is now a github template project. This makes copying the contents of the project into a new repo very simple.

To setup your own project, you will need to copy the contents of this project into a new repo. You will need to update the content in these files to names of your project and yourself:

• package.json: name, version, description, repository, author, bugs, homepage
• LICENSE: (update to your preferred license)
• this README.md

This is also a good time to go through the included libraries to add or remove features that you want.

After this you can commit the files into a new repository and push up to your github. You can now start updating files in your client to begin working on your own project!
