On the backend, the app uses express to serve routes and mongoose to interact with a MongoDB database.
On the frontend, the app uses ReactJS for rendering components, axios for internal/external API calls, and bootstrap as a styling framework.
In order to transpile the JSX code, webpack and babel were utilized. All of the JSX code in the /app folder was transpiled into the bundle.js file located in the /public folder.
If you wish to clone the app down to your local machine...
- Ensure that you have MongoDB set up on your laptop * An amazing repo to get you started with that can be found here.
- Once you are set up,
cdinto this repo and runnpm install. - Then open another bash or terminal window and run
mongod - Run the script with
node server.js. - Navigate to
localhost:3000in your browser.
Note that if you made changes to the JSX code in the /app folder, you must transpile it to see your changes. When cd-ed into this repo, enter npm run bundle in the command line to trigger my webpack script.
The /test folder can be disregarded since its files were made just for laying out the design of the app.
Press the red, remove button and the bookmarked article is removed via an /api/delete/:id post route
