This is a news website built using the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js). The website allows users to view news articles, search for articles by keyword, and create an account to save articles for later reading.

Installation

To install the project, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/devanshkansagra/News-App.git
2. Install the dependencies: npm install
3. Create a config.env file in the server directory with the following variables:

   DATABASE=mongodb+srv://<username>:<password>@<cluster>.mongodb.net/<database>?retryWrites=true&w=majority

   Replace <username>, <password>, <cluster>, <database>, and <secret-key> with your own values.

The server will start on port 5000, and the client will start on port 3000.
