## MTECH Bootcamp Demo
To run the api, firstly ensure MongoDB is installed and running locally. To see how to do this [follow these instructions]('https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/installation/')
# Mongo DB and Aliases
add an alias to the `.zshrc` file to be able to create shortcuts for commands
- to start mongo: `alias startmongo="brew services start mongodb-community"`
- to stop mongo: `alias killmongo="brew services stop mongodb-community@"`
Once the database is running locally:
1. Install dependencies - `npm install`
2. Seed the database - `npm run seed`
3. Start the server - `npm run start:server`
It may help to have `nodemon` installed globally on your machine
`npm i -g nodemon`
Once the server is running and successfully connected to the database, you will be able to test making requests to the api using [postman]('https://www.postman.com/downloads/).
Try sending a request to `http://localhost:3000/api/movies` and you should see data returned
## Lesson 9 Instructions:
1. Build the home page with them to show them how to fetch data locally
2. Show them wireframing tools - Balsamiq
3. Set up a trello board
4. Put them in groups
5. One person should push their classwork into a git repo and all of them should pull it down
6. Get them to write tickets and work together to start creating a fontend
