## Backend structure featuring some codes

#### Goals

- Allow users signup and login to view the Home/Profile

- firstname: Astra

- lastname: Quanta

- email: [email protected]

- password: akunnaya1234$

#### Steps

- Set up Mongodb locally i.e MongoDB Compass. database name: nexus_db. Collection name: users and run in on local host 27017

- local installation: npm install --save-dev nodemon, "scripts": {

  "start": "nodemon server.js"

}

- Server.js

- npm start: starts the backend server.js file (runs on port 5000)

- npm install axios in client folder 

- Modify Register.jsx to make API requests that points to the correct url i.e http://localhost:5000/register

- Modify Login.jsx to make API requests that points to the correct url i.e http://localhost:5000/login

- start the frontend using npm run dev (runs on port 5173)

- Testing successful!

  #### Notes

  - Server.js file provides the API endpoints and does not need to know about the frontend files

  - Frontend files make HTTP requests to these endpoints to handle registration, login, and data fetching

 

  #### Ports and Requests

  - http://localhost:5173/: running in web browswer from VS Code terminal

  - localhost:27017: running in mongodb compass

  - http://localhost:5000: running in VS Code terminal

  - http://localhost:5000/register --> defined in Register.jsx for POST request (frontend file)

  - http://localhost:5000/login --> defined in Login.jsx for POST request (frontend file)
