var mysqlParams = {
    host     : 'localhost',
    user     : 'root',
    password : 'root',
    database : 'invoice_project'
};

Starting the app

Make sure that the database is running.

Then, start the backend

cd ./backend
node server.js

Start the frontend

cd ./frontend
npm start

Navigate to http://localhost:3000 to view the application.
