bootcampAvenue project

1. Create a .env inside /breviews-client and nodemon.json file inside /brevews-backend

2. Inside .env in /breview-client put this

   API_PROD_URL=https://ba-backend.herokuapp.com/api
   API_DEV_URL=http://localhost:5000/api
   

3. In development inside nodemon.json in /breviews-backend write:

   {
       "env": {
            DATABASE_NAME: askme
            DATABASE_PASSWORD: askme
            DATABASE_USER: askme
       }
   }
   

• from breviews-backend:
• $ npm install
• $ npm run install:both
• $ npm run dev

• if you new to frontend please use webpack and env variables carefully.

• Messing them up would mess up whole development and production code 🙂

• There are several advantages in separating development and production modes

  • Ex: caching, logging, security etc.

• Currently on backend secret keys coming from nodemon.json file in development.

• In production keys set on heroku dashboard.

• Change this behavior to store all prod and dev keys in local and use of libraries like “node-config”, “dotenv” etc.
