marcomuser / react-todo-app Goto Github PK

In this learning project I build up a relatively uncomplicated to-do application. The frontend is created with React. State management I have implemented exclusively with React Hooks. Data fetching with the native fetch()-API. Furthermore, I used Express and Node.js to implement the backend as a REST API. MongoDB serves as database and Mongoose as ODM.

The goal is a clean, simple and modern implementation of a fullstack app making use of a REST API with Express and a React frontend based on React Hooks.

1. Fork this repository and clone it with git to your computer.
2. Run npm install in the main folder as well as in the client folder.
3. If MongoDB is not installed and running on your computer, you have to download, install and launch it first!
4. In your terminal, run npm run dev in the main folder to launch the backend and npm start in the client folder to launch the frontend.
5. The to-do app should automatically be opened in your default browser.
