Nasa-Project

This is a Fullstack Project that replicates a NASA launch program. This project includes querying and making request to SpaceX API

Architecture

Set up

If you wish to run the program do the following:

• Have a MongoDB Cluster ready to use named as nasa-api and configure the secret key to your .env file at the server root.

PORT=8000
MONGO_URL=mongodb+srv://nasa-api:[email protected]/?...

• Navigate to server/src/services/mongo.js.
• Ensure that process.env.MONGO_URL contains your MongoDB cluster to make request to the REST API and get launches and planets from your database.

const mongoose = require("mongoose");

require("dotenv").config();

// Configure the secret key
const MONGO_URL = process.env.MONGO_URL;

mongoose.connection.on("open", () => {
  console.log("MongoDB connection ready!");
});

mongoose.connection.on("error", (err) => {
  console.error(err);
});

async function mongoConnect() {
  // Connect to MongoDB
  try {
    await mongoose.connect(MONGO_URL);
  } catch (e) {
    console.error(e);
  }
}

• Go the server root in your terminal and start the server first:

npm start server

• Once you have started the server and the application made the request successfully. Confirm you're able to run a GET request as follows:

• If everything works, terminate the server and navigate to the root of the application in your terminal and run the following command to start the client and server:

npm run deploy
