Local Setup

Installation

Install the dependencies:

npm install

Development

Create a .env file in the project root
cp .env.example .env
Get your database URL

Obtain the database connection string from the Cluster tab on the MongoDB Atlas Dashboard.

Add the database URL to the .env file

Update the .env file with your database connection string:

MONGODB_URI=mongodb+srv://<username>:<password>@<cluster-url>/<database>?retryWrites=true&w=majority
Start the development server
npm run dev

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.
