blog-site's Introduction

blog-site

It consists some default blog posts and you can add more info by going to the /compose route

It is not hosted on a Web server though.

So, you need to host the website locally on port 3000.

Blog Website Readme file

This is a blog website which is an online journal where an individual, group, or corporation presents a record of activities, thoughts, or beliefs.

Here, we need to setup two local servers. One for the database and one for the website backend.

Install MongoDB by visiting the official website (https://www.mongodb.com/try/download/community) and downloading the latest community installer. You need to sign up first to be able to download.
After installing MongoDB, you need to create a directory /data/db exactly with the same name (case sensitive) so that the database will be stored inside that directory.
Create a .bash_profile folder in the root directory and edit it using vim editor and insert alias mongod="/c/Program\ Files/MongoDB/Server/5.0/bin/mongod.exe" and alias mongo="/c/Program\ Files/MongoDB/Server/5.0/bin/mongo.exe"
Run the command mongod which then starts the server on localhost:27017
Now run command mongo to open the MongoDB shell.

Download and install NodeJS in the official website (https://nodejs.org/en/download/).
Run the command npm init which initializes the web directory structure and adds the node modules.
Now delete all the folders except node modules and paste all the codes using the same directory structure as provided.
Install the library files required by using command npm i express ejs lodash mongoose
Now you can run the server by using command node app.js which in turn runs the website on localhost:3000
