# MongoDB and Express.js REST API sample application

This repository contains the sample application for the [MongoDB and Express.js REST API tutorial](https://www.mongodb.com/languages/express-mongodb-rest-api-tutorial).

## How To Run

1. You can follow the [Getting Started with Atlas](https://docs.atlas.mongodb.com/getting-started/) guide, to learn how to create a free Atlas account, create your first cluster and get your Connection String to the database.

Then, set the Atlas URI connection parameter in `server/.env` to your Connection String:

```

ATLAS_URI=mongodb+srv://:@sandbox.jadwj.mongodb.net/myFirstDatabase?retryWrites=true&w=majority

```

2. Start the Express server:

```

cd server

npm install

npm run dev

```

3. Start the React app (in a new terminal window):

```

cd app

npm install

npm start

```
