Deployment

This guide is for heroku. For other platforms, package.json is all yours to tweak.

  • push you code to Heroku either using Heroku CLI or Dashboard.
  • Set your environmental variables on Heroku which also has MONGODB_URI for connecting to your database.
  • Your app should be live.
  • If any error comes up, check your Procfile and make sure you are having the right starting command.

Upgrade

I started this project back then in 2016 using only server side technologies. The code was a little bit messy as I majorly wrote it in ES5 during my NodeJS beginner days. Though I have refactored the project to match some standard in ES6, I think is time I rewrite everything with the present day technologies. Hence, watch out for the version of this project in ReacJS and RESTful API based on NodeJS.

Contribution

  • I appreciate, but I rarely work on this anymore unless to fix bug and do some refactoring. I will rather have you joining me on the React version of this project.
