KashMash

Live Demo

A facemash clone but with portmanteaus of the word "kash".

Based on an inside joke, the frontend uses React and the backend uses Node (via Express) and MongoDB to store the data.

Setup

First, set up a MongoDB database, then add your connection string as an environment variable:

export MONGO_URI=[YOUR MONGO DB URI]            # Mac/Linux
set MONGO_URI=[YOUR MONGO DB URI]               # Windows

Then proceed with the rest of the setup:

npm install                                     # install backend deps 
node scripts/mongo-setup.js                     # initialize DB

cd src/client           
npm install                                     # install frontend deps

Running the project

yarn dev                    # runs development server

yarn build                  # creates static assets (only needed for production)

Both commands should be executed from the project root.
