Heroku Link: Heroku
Author: Riva Version: 1.0.0 (increment the patch/fix version number if you make more commits past your first submission)
This project required building a stand-alone back end which will interact with a static front end. I requested data from a total of four third-party APIs, modified the data as needed, and sent the data to the client to be displayed in the browser. I created an instance on Heroku as well.
// Creating a server
- touch server.js 1.5 touch .eslintrc.json
- GET THE SERVER RUNNING
- install the packages (libraries)
npm install <PACKAGENAME> <PACKAGENAME> <ETC> - in the js file - load the packages
- configure the
app - tell the server to listen on the port
- start writing routes to handle requests from the client
dotenv, express, Heroku, Cors, Node.js and Github
