A sneak peek into what we have here

About-

• 'Blog' and 'blogging' are now loosely used for content creation and sharing on social media, especially when the content is long-form and one creates and shares content on regular basis.

• This is a dynamically updating Blog posting website developed primarily using Node Js with EJS template engine and Mongoose as ODM(Object Data Modeling library).

Environment Setup for local use-

• Drop a ⭐ on the GitHub repository.

• Download Git (when you install Git, Git Bash also gets installed by default)

• Download and install a code/ text editor.
  • Recommended-
    • Download VS Code
    • Download Atom
      
      

Option 1 (Installation using NPM and MongoDB)

• Download Node Js and npm(Node package manager) (when you install Node, npm also gets installed by default)

• Mongo DB community editition is free and a great software in order to work with MongoDB applications. Download Mongo DB community editition

• Robo 3T is a desktop graphical user interface (GUI) for Mongo DB. It can help to skip running all the Mongo DB commands manually every time we want to access the data. Download Robo 3T (optional)

• Clone the repository by running command

git clone https://github.com/<your user-name>/WordNook.git

in your git bash.

• Run command cd WordNook.

• Run this command to install all dependencies for the project.

npm install

• Adding secret key for JWT auth.
  • Run this command when inside the root directory to make a .env file.

  touch .env
  

  • Now add this to the .env file

  SECRET_KEY = AlphaVio
  URL = mongodb://localhost:27017/wordnookDB
  NODE_ENV= 'development'
  

• Testing : Run this command on your terminal/ bash to start the Mongo server on port 27017(default).

mongod

• Run this command to start the project.

npm start

or

• Run this command to start the project as a developer.

npm run dev

• Open link to view the website in your browser window if it doesn't open automatically.

http://localhost:3000/

Option 2 (Installation using Docker)

• Download and install Docker.

• Clone the repository by running command

git clone https://github.com/<your user-name>/WordNook.git

in your git bash.

• Run command cd WordNook.

• Run this command to start the project:

docker-compose up --build 

• Now explore the project and make the changes as you want. Once the changes are made then run the following command again:

docker-compose up --build 

This would again create a new image with your changes and will use it to start the containers. Now when you visit http://localhost:3000/ you would see your changes.

• Once you are satisfied and want to make a PR then run following command:

docker-compose down 

This would stop all the running containers and will also delete them.

• Check out our docker image at DockerHub: Wordnook Image or you can directly search wordnook on DockerHub (This just for your reference and is not required for installation)

• You can learn more about Docker and its implementation at Docker Documentation

• You can learn more about EJS template engine and its syntax to know how we can use it inside our HTML using the documentation

• Now you are all set to use this project.

Some useful Mongo DB commands if you are using the terminal instead of the GUI-

show dbs
use db <db name>
show collections
<db name> .find()

Note -

1. • If your git shows an issue with your package-lock.json while installing dependencies or throws error that lockfile version-2 is not compatible with your system Then check your npm version by running command

    npm --version
   

   • npm version should be 7 and above for lockfile version-2 that would come by default if you have a node version 15 and above.
     List of Node.js releases and corresponding npm versions

   • After upgrading your npm version, you can delete your package-lock.json file and run npm install again to fix the issue.

Disclaimer-

The Contact Us feature might not work in the local environment since the API-Key has not been shared. If you still want to work on it, generate your own API key from Mail Gun and include it in the .env file as

MAILGUN_API_KEY = <your-api-key>
