This project is divided into two parts. A python app, built using Flask and MongoDB, which contains the API. The second part is a node app that is serving the web app built in React.
To start the API server you'll need to install the required dependencies using pip install > requirements.txt by standing in the project root.
After the dependencies have been installed. Run python run.py to start the server. It runs on port 5000
To start the Node App cd app/ and run npm install to install the required dependences.
After that can use npm start to start the server on port 8001 and start waching the repository for changes to the React App. You will also be able to run the tests by running npm test.
