Execute MongoDB and Express Server

Make sure you install the node.js server and Mongo DB sofware from the side. Ensure your path variable contains the execution path of the node.js and mongo binary.

Run the following commands in this directory to execute the server db and then the node server:

1. Create the db file directory

   Windows: md db

   Mac: mkdir db

2. Start the DB server on port 3000

   Windows: start.toDoSample.cmd

   Mac: mongod -port 3000 -dbpath ./db

3. Open a new terminal (in this directory) and run Mongo shell

   mongo --port 3000 --authenticationDatabase admin

4. Populate the DB server with sample data in Mongo shell

   load ('createDB/bridgeData.js');
   load ('createDB/createAdminUser.js');
   exit

5. Install npm packages (if you haven't completed this step before)

   npm install

6. Compile Node/Express Server. You may need to go to all subdirectories and compile the ts files.

   tsc AppServer.ts

7. Execute Node/Express server on port 8080

   node AppServer.js

Testing

To test server, try the following URLs on the browser while the server is running:

• http://localhost:8080/
• http://localhost:8080/users #BridgeChat #BridgeChat
