https://github.com/jportella93/find-a-hobby-client

Getting started

Install mongodb and redis in your computer if you don't have done it already.
https://www.mongodb.com/
https://redis.io/

1. Clone the repo

$ git clone https://github.com/jportella93/find-a-hobby-server.git
$ cd find-a-hobby-server

2. Install dependencies

$ npm install

3. Start redis database

$ redis-server

4. In a new terminal window (keep the other one also open): Start mongodb database

$ mongod

5. In a new terminal window (keep the other two also open): Start development server

$ npm run start

If everything went good you will see a message like:

Mongoose connected to mongodb://localhost/find-a-hobby
find a Hobby! Server connected on port 3000

The number of the port that logs in (3000 in this case) is what you have to write in the client in the file /src/lib/apiClient.js

6. Connect with client. Go to https://github.com/jportella93/find-a-hobby-client and follow the getting started instructions.
