Contributing

Always telling people you'll definitely check out a movie they suggest, but then forgetting about it? Sitting on Netflix or Hulu scrolling endlessly for a movie even though you get so many recommendations? We'd love to have you contribute to this project!

Please create an issue for any changes you would like to see under the "Issues" tab above. Fork the repo, clone it to your machine, create a new branch for your changes, make your changes, push the changes to your fork, then submit a pull request at which point we will review and follow up.

Setup

The following instructions assume you already have an IDE (We recommend Visual Studio Code!) installed on your computer and know your way around MongoDB Atlas.

To get FlickList running on your local machine, you will need to do the following:

1. Clone the repo to your computer.
2. Open a terminal in your IDE and cd to the directory in which you cloned the repo.
3. Run "npm install". This will download all the node modules needed to run the software.
4. Configure a .env file.
   1. The format should look something like the following:

      PORT = 2121
      DB_STRING = [MONGODB ATLAS STRING]
      

   2. The file should be saved in config/.env.
5. In your IDE terminal, run "npm start".
6. In a web browser, navigate to localhost:2121 (or whatever port you chose in your .env file).
