- start the application by running npm start . this runs the application on port 3000 by default. To specify the PORT, start the application by running PORT=PORT_NUMBER npm start
- navigate to http://localhost:3000 or http://localhost:PORT_NUMBER in your browser to use the application
Dependencies
The application requires a running MongoDB instance as the database in use is MongoDB. Package dependencies are automatically installed in the setup phase
Notes
The approach was to ensure the app uses minimal memory when processing files. Streams was used to achieve this. On the front end, javascript and JQuery were used to show the developers knowledge of both technologies. Errors and edge cases were captured. Animations for added for a pleasant experience. Attention was paid greatly to UX.
