stockchart

This project is my solution to one of the freeCodeCamp's backend challenge problem chart the stock market.

So far, It satisfies the following user stories:

1. I can view a graph displaying the recent trend lines for each added stock.
2. I can add new stocks by their symbol name.
3. I can view a graph displaying the recent trend lines for each added stock.
4. I can see changes in real-time.

Tech Used:

I have used MERN stack for this project.Initially I tried to implement a custom graph using d3.js , but it turned out to be too time consuming , as it also needed to be hooked up with react. After searching for possible options, react-highcharts turned out to be a fair option. Currently this project uses the same.

For getting stocks, I used API from Alpha Advantage

Running on local Machine

git clone https://github.com/hemant1612/stockchart cd stockchart npm install && npm start This will start the express server on port 3001 Now , cd client && npm install && npm start will start the front-end. Now , go to localhost:3000 to see the live demo. Happy hacking !

To Do's:
