Banking web-app

Using MERN stack, basing off of mern-auth, and following through Rishi Prasad's Tutorial, this is a banking web-app that utilizes Plaid to allow users to link up their banking accounts and obtain a list of all their banking transactions all in one secure place.

Acknowledgment

This is based off of a tutorial published by Rishi Prasad in Bits and Pieces but extended to use ES6, Docker, ESLint and some other additional bits and pieces (pun intended) all over. Thanks, Rishi, for the amazing guide!

Setup

You'll need to add your config file which has the required props for your various enviornments, an example is demonstrated as follows:

{
  "development": {
    "MONGO_URI": "mongo://name:password@some_dev_link_for_dev_db:port",
    "SECRET_OR_KEY": "someSecretY'all",
    "PLAID_CLIENT_ID": "YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
    "PLAID_SECRET": "YOUR_SECRET",
    "PLAID_PUBLIC_KEY": "YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY"
  },
  "prod": {
    "MONGO_URI": "mongo://name:password@some_dev_link_for_prod_db:port",
    "SECRET_OR_KEY": "someProdSecretY'all",
    "PLAID_CLIENT_ID": "YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
    "PLAID_SECRET": "YOUR_SECRET",
    "PLAID_PUBLIC_KEY": "YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY"
  }
}
