A simple records system using MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, and Node.js with real-time Create, Read, Update, and Delete operations using Socket.io. REST API was implemented on the back-end. Semantic UI React was used for the UI.
Make sure MongoDB service is running.
For the back-end, install the dependencies once.
npm install
Run the main server. It listens on port 3000.
node server
For the front-end, go to react-src folder via the terminal.
cd react-src
Install the dependencies required by React once.
npm install
Run the development server for React. It listens on port 4200.
npm start
To make a production build, simply run on react-src folder.
npm run build
It creates a folder named public on the root directory. This is where the production-ready front-end of the web application resides. It can now be directly viewed through the main server without running the React development server.
