XP-System

School Project This school project is for my teacher to have students log in and check out their XP and assignments. This website application is not available online, this is just a locally run website at our school. To create a teacher, it must be done by a site admin. You'll need to create the site admin in the database in a collection called users and set insert a document formatted as shown: { "_id": your generated id, "role": "Admin", "name": your name, "email": your email, "password": your encrypted password }

Requirements :

1. Node.js
2. MongoDB

Getting Started with Code :

1. Set up MongoDB on your computer.
2. Clone repo from https://github.com/Braeden57/XP-System.git
3. Run npm install to install dependencies.
4. Duplicate .env.example and rename the new file to .env. Edit to your configurations.
5. Run npm start to boot up server.
6. Go to http://localhost:8080. Or Whatever you set it to in the .env file.

Accessing the Database

1. Locally this will use any db you set the DB_URI to in the .env file.
2. You can use MongoDB compass app to view the db and edit any information stored.
3. Or connect it to an external db by changing the DB_URI in the .env to your db key.
