This app uses iexcloud as the datasource with a public api key

graphical illustration of price movements for selected stocks

created with create-react-app and chart js as well as node server for database api

with MongoDb database

to run:

clone the repo

cd marketwatch

npm install

I am using custom-env for switching between test and development database. In the root of the backend directory -

create .env file with the following content:

APP_ENV=dev

DB_HOST='your path to mongodb dev here'

.env.test file with the following content:

APP_ENV=test

DB_HOST='your path to mongodb test here'

npm start starts backend server and react server using concurrently

npm test to run tests

Enter stock symbol - for example MSFT or FB and period and press submit.

Uses an Api to fetch live data.
