Usage

ES Modules in Node

We us ECMAScript Modules in the backend in this project. Be sure to have at least Node v14.6+ or you will need to add the “—experimental-modules” flag.

Also, when importing a file (not a package), be sure to add .js at the end or you will get a “module not found” error

You can also install and setup Babel if you would like

Env Variables

Create a .env file in then root and add the following

NODE_ENV = development
PORT = 5000
MONGO_URI = your mongodb uri
JWT_SECRET = 'abc123'
PAYPAL_CLIENT_ID = your paypal client id

Install Dependencies (frontend & backend)

npm install
cd frontend
npm install

Run

# Run frontend (:3000) & backend (:5000)
npm run dev
# Run backend only
npm run server

Build & Deploy

# Create frontend prod build
cd frontend

There is a Heroku postbuild script, so if you push to Heroku, no need to build manually for deployment to Heroku

You can use the following commands to seed the database with some sample users and products as well as destroy all data

# Import data
