MERN auth client

Client starter code for project 3

Getting Setup

If you are a git manager for the client

• clone this repo down directly, do not fork it
  • you can use git clone < cloning url > < your project name > to name the directory it is cloned into
• cd into the directory you just cloned
• run rm -rf .git to delete the git repo
• run git init to create a fresh git repo
• add and commit the code
• create a new repo on github that will be your origin and your group's upstream
• copy the code chunk from github "...or push an existing repository from the command line."
• share the repos url with your teammates so they can fork it

If you are a contributor

• fork your frontend repo manger's code
• clone your fork of the code and cd into the directory
• run git remote add upstream < your frontend repo manager's cloning url >
• check your work with git remote -v
  • origin should refer to your fork
  • upstream should refer to your git manager's repo

Steps for everyone to get the code running

• touch .env.local
• add the following to the .env.local file:

# backend server url (if your server is on a different port, update it here)
REACT_APP_SERVER_URL=http://localhost:8000

• run npm i to install the required packages
• start the react app with npm run start
• navigate to localhost:3000 to see the application
