Installation

$ git clone https://github.com/GianGuaz256/NestServerBasic.git
$ cd ./NestServerBasic
$ npm install

Create .env file

Create an .env file and add the following parameter in order to setup the script:

SERVER_PORT=8000

DB=<Your connection string to mongoDB>

JWT_SECRET=<Your random JWT Secret>

NODE_ENV=development

Create a MongoDB Cluster

Go to MongoDB and create a free cluster. The cluster will give you the ability to create collections of records. Once connected follow these steps to connect your cluster to the application. The string to insert in the .env file is formed in this way:

mongodb+srv://dbAdmin:<password>@cluster0.b1k5c.mongodb.net

Once inserted in the file the link with the database is done.
