Setup

Dependencies

Run npm install in the project folder to install dependencies related to Express (the server).

cd client and run npm install install dependencies related to React (the client).

Database Prep

Create .env file in project directory and add

  DB_HOST=localhost
  DB_USER=root
  DB_NAME=mealprepapp
  DB_PASS=YOUR PASSWORD
  SUPER_SECRET=WHATEVER YOU WANT

(replace YOUR_PASSWORD with your actual password)

Type mysql -u root -p to access the MySQL CLI using your password.

In the MySQL CLI, type create database mealprepapp; to create a database in MySQL.

Run the following in the MySQL CLI: ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'YOUR_PASSWORD'; (replace YOUR_PASSWORD with your actual password)

Run npm run migrate in your TERMINAL, in the project folder (not your MySQL CLI! Open a new terminal window for this). This will create a table called 'items' in your database.

Run Your Development Servers

• Run npm start in project directory to start the Express server on port 4000
• cd client and run npm run dev to start client server in development mode with hot reloading in port 5173.
• Client is configured so all API calls will be proxied to port 4000 for a smoother development experience. Yay!
• You can test your client app in http://localhost:5173
• You can test your API in http://localhost:4000/api
