These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

• NPM and Node.js installed
• MongoDB

By default, the server will expect to connect to a MongoDB instance running on localhost:27017. However, you can customize the environment to use different values for the MongoDB host. To do that, you can create a .env file for specifying credential information for MongoDB.

Create a new file called .env, with the following properties:

MONGO_URL=mongodb+srv://<username>:<password>@sandbox.jadwj.mongodb.net/myFirstDatabase?retryWrites=true&w=majority
MONGO_USER=username
MONGO_PASSWORD=password
PORT=5000

or instead, you can use the equivalent JSON:

{
  "mongo": {
    "url": "mongodb+srv://<username>:<password>@sandbox.jadwj.mongodb.net/myFirstDatabase?retryWrites=true&w=majority",
    "user": "username",
    "password": "password"
    "port": "5000"
  }
}

Where the URL, username, and password are set to your preferences.
