How to run the project

Install missing modules

npm install

This command installs all the modules listed in the package.json

Install a new module

npm install myModule

Make sure the .env file is present

The .env file contains sensitive information like authentification credentials for MongoDB

The .env must be placed in the project root folder.

Run the dev script

npm run dev

If the script is not defined, you must add it into the package.json

{
  [...],

  "scripts": {
    "dev": "nodemon"
  },

  [...]
}

Also, make sure the main property points to the correct file, Ex:

{
  [...],

  "main": "src/index.js",

  [...]
}

Install nodemon

npm install -G nodemon

This installes the nodemon package globally. It can be used outside the project.

If you cannot install and use nodemon globally you can install it the project

npm install nodemon --dev

The --dev flag indicates that this package is necessary only for the project's development.

If you installed nodemon locally you need to change the "dev" script like this:

{
  [...],

  "scripts": {
    "dev": "npx nodemon"
  },

  [...]
}
