Mongo explorer: for my web-dev class 🤓

Hi! This is a small project that tries to implement some features for exploring databases on Mongo, ¡like a bad version of atlas! 😅. Below, I'll show you how to run the project locally and where it's being run.

Steps

1. Have installed Node and npm

   $ npm --version
   $ node --version

   if you don't have any of these, you can install it by following this link 👉🏻 nodejs.org

2. Clone repository

   $ git clone https://github.com/whatevercamps/mongo-explorer.git
   $ cd mongo-explorer

3. Install dependencies

   $ npm install

4. Set enviroment variables In order to get connected to a real mongo database, you will have to create a file into project folder, call it .env and write this...

   dbHostName=<valid database host e.g: localhost>
   dbName=<valid database name e.g: maindb>
   dbUser=<valid database admin user e.g:admin>
   dbPassword=<valid database admin password e.g:admin_password>

   save it and... that's it!

5. Run the project 🎉

   npm start

   The current port where server are running is the :3000 port, but you can change it by going to node-explorer/bin/www file and modifying "3000" in this line ... sh var port = normalizePort(process.env.PORT || "3000");

Demo

The funcional demo was deployed using Heroku and you can find it clicking that 👉🏻 demo
