Before you begin, make sure you have already installed Node.js, NPM, and MongoDB.
-
Clone the repository:
https://github.com/OrNixz/urban-buzz.git -
Navigate to the project directory:
cd your-project-name -
Install dependencies:
npm install
Run the MongoDB server by typing mongod in the command prompt, and type mongosh to interact with the MongoDB server.
mongoose
.connect("mongodb://127.0.0.1/urbanbuzz")
.then((result) => {
console.log("Connected to MongoDB");
})
.catch((err) => {
console.log(err);
});
After getting things done, you can run the application by nodemon app.js (obviously you must install nodemon before) or node app.js.
Oh yeah, I forgot something to say, although this is optional. You can create the places and their details by typing node seeds/place.js, and for the images in each, you can search the uploads folder on seeds/uploads.

This project was inspired by the Learn to Build a Directory Listing App Case Study Application course on the Full-Stack Javascript roadmap, with a slight distinction and additional styling that suits my style. Shout out to the creator who made this project @lunadiotic
