How to get started

1. Fork and clone this repo
2. Remove any local instances of node_modules - this is already in the docker container. Do not run npm install locally.
3. docker build -t facompany/diner .
4. docker run -p 3001:3000 facompany/diner
5. To run locally: npm install and then npm start

tech stack

1. React (if more time allowed, would have wanted to refactor using React hooks)
2. NoSQL(Mongo) - considered PostgreSQL but liked that fact that Mongo provided consistency and partition tolerance. Also quicker dev time
3. Node/Express for backend - using middleware to proxy requests and build out needed routes
4. Sentiment npm package for sentiment analysis https://www.npmjs.com/package/sentiment
