MERN Stack Template

• M = MongoDB
• E = Express.js
• R = React.js
• N = Node.js

What is this template?

This template allows you to quick-start your Fullstack application using the MERN stack, it has a server setup with some basic authentication, and a client ready to communicate with the backend.

How to use this template

1. Generate repository from template:

Click "Use this template" to generate a new repo, then open your terminal and clone your new repo.

git clone https://github.com/[your_user_name]/[your_repo_name].git

2. Install dependencies:

Go to the server folder, and run install.

cd ./server
npm i

Go to the client folder, and run install.

cd ./client
npm i

3. Prepare MongoDB:

Prepare your MongoDB database (using Atlas, or Community). Then configure your database within server/src/constants/index.js (or server/src/.env), by configuring the MONGO_URI variable.

4. Start applications:

Go to the server folder, and run dev.

cd ./server
npm run dev

Go to the client folder, and run dev.

cd ./client
npm run dev

5. Happy Coding !!!
