Ironhack - Project 3 Setup

project3-setup.md

📁 | Create a parent directory

To keep things organized, create a parent directory:

• Navigate to the directory where keep your code (ex. navigate to your module3 directory).
• mkdir our-cool-project

NOTE: replace "our-cool-project" with the name you choose for your project 😉

🇧 | Backend (Express API, created with ironlauncher)

• Navigate to the parent directory
• npx --yes ironlauncher@latest our-cool-project-backend --auth --json
• cd our-cool-project-backend
• git init + make an initial commit
• run the backend app in your machine (ex. npm run dev)

🇫 | Frontend (React App, created with Vite)

• Navigate to the parent directory (NOTE: for the next step, make sure you're in the parent directory)
• npm --yes create vite@latest our-cool-project-frontend -- --template react
• cd our-cool-project-frontend
• npm install (this will install the initial dependencies from Vite)
• git init + make an initial commit
• run the frontend app in your machine (ex. npm run dev or npm run dev -- --port 3000)

🆙 | Upload both repos to GitHub

• Create an organization on GitHub (ex. "student 1" creates the organization)
• Add "student 2" as a memeber of the organization
• Upload both repos to GitHub
• For each repo, add "student 2" as a collaborator for that repo (ex. "admin").
