A webapp for the university that will ease the process of retrieving lost items. It is a big problem when you lose valuable items, and in that scenario, it becomes helpful if you are able to see through a list of items found lately, and luckily, if you do find your item there, then you save a lot of time and sweat. So what are you waiting for?
Create a new file, such as api.js, in your React.js project's source folder.
Inside api.js, import the axios package and define functions that make API requests to your backend.
Here's an example of how your api.js file might look:
import axios from 'axios';
const BASE_URL = 'http://backend-url'; // Replace with your actual backend URL
export const getUsers = async () => {
try {
const response = await axios.get(`${BASE_URL}/users`);
return response.data;
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error getting users:', error);
throw error;
}
};
// Add more API functions as needed
Use the API functions in your React components:
Import the API functions from api.js into your React components where you need to fetch or send data to the backend.
Call the API functions as needed, and use the retrieved data to update your React component's state or perform other operations.
That's a basic overview of how you can integrate a MongoDB backend, deployed on Cyclic, with a React.js project. Remember to replace the placeholder values with your actual connection details and backend URL.
The database is currently deployed on- https://osoc-lost-and-found.cyclic.app/ Integrate this with the project. Refer to this for reference-
To integrate a MongoDB backend, deployed on Cyclic, with a React.js project, you can follow these general steps:
Set up your MongoDB database on Cyclic:
Create a React.js project:
Install the required dependencies:
mongoose
package allows you to interact with MongoDB, andaxios
is used for making HTTP requests to your backend.Create a MongoDB connection file:
db.js
, in your React.js project's source folder.db.js
, import themongoose
package and establish a connection to your MongoDB database using the connection details from Cyclic.Here's an example of how your
db.js
file might look:Set up API endpoints:
