node-natours-api
Node.js, Express, MongoDB - Practice Project - Check it out on Heroku
This project designed to architect and build a Node.JS backend for CRUD operations for tours, users, bookings and provide server-side rendering of a website. The project concentrates mostly on the backend, so the front-end is not responsive.
Shoutout to Jonas for putting together an awesome course.
Demo
Check it out on Heroku. Note: it will take some time to load since Heroku will build the app on demand.
Running locally
There are a few steps to get the application running locally:
npm i
After you would need to create config.env in the root directory and insert the following:
NODE_ENV=development
PORT=3000
USERNAME=your_mongodb_username
DATABASE=your_mongodb_database
DATABASE_PASSWORD=your_mongodb_database_password
JWT_SECRET=your-own-secret-has-to-be-super-long
JWT_EXPIRES_IN=90d
JWT_COOKIE_EXPIRES_IN=90
EMAIL_USERNAME=your_mailtrap_username
EMAIL_PASSWORD=your_mailtrap_password
EMAIL_HOST=your_mailtrap_host
EMAIL_PORT=your_mailtrap_port
EMAIL_FROM=your_mailtrap_from
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=your_stripe_secret_key
STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET=your_stripe_webhook_secret
You would need to create free accounts at MongoDB, Mailtrap, and Stripe. Those keys should be available in the developer section of each website.
After you can simply run:
npm run start:dev
This will then start a local server running on port 3000. You can then open your browser and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:3000.
