Acknowledgment

This is based off of a tutorial published by Rishi Prasad in Bits and Pieces but extended to use ES6, Docker, and some other additional bits and pieces (pun intended) all over. Thanks, Rishi, for the amazing guide!

Setup

You'll need to add your config file which has the required props for your various enviornments, an example is demonstrated as follows:

{
  "development": {
    "MONGO_URI": "mongo://name:password@some_dev_link_for_dev_db:port",
    "SECRET_OR_KEY": "someSecretY'all"
  },
  "prod": {
    "MONGO_URI": "mongo://name:password@some_dev_link_for_prod_db:port",
    "SECRET_OR_KEY": "someProdSecretY'all"
  }
}

You'll also need to run a node installation

npm i
