Live Demo of Tinder clone app

Process of developing intro

Build a Tinder Clone with MERN Stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node JS)

• Back-End:
  • Database: MongoDB
  • Back-end JS framework: NodeJS
  • Server side: Express JS
  • Connect to MongoDB use Mongooes
• Front-End:
  • deploying it into firebase to host front-end
• npx create-react-app tinder-clone
• add project in firebase "tinder-clone"
• cd tinder-clone, then npm start
• del 'App.test.js', 'logo.svg', 'setupTests.js'
• Go to material-ui
• open new terminal install npm install @material-ui/core and npm install @material-ui/icons
• search person icon and import it in header
• npm i react-tinder-card after created TinderCards.js
• create Express server which connect to MongoDB, pull all data from there.
• create 'tinder-backend' in the same folder level as 'tinder-clone'
• cd tinder-backend then npm init
• 'server.js' for entry point
• in created 'package.json' backend stuff like import is ES6, to get that in node.js under "main:" add "type": "module",
• under "test:" add "start": "node server.js" then create server.js
• install all dependencies, npm i express mongooes or npm install express mongoose
• go to MongoDB, build a new project
• terminal cd tinder-backend then npm i -g nodemon
• nodemon server.js, then go to localhost:8001, now you have API endpoint, then connect to DB
  • Back to MongoDB -> DB Access -> Add new DB user -> create user name and pw (save yourself) -> Add User
  • Network Access -> Add IP Address to allow list -> Allow access from anywhere -> confirm
  • go Clusters -> CONNECT -> Connect your application -> you get url to connect to DB -> fill "<pw>" and "<db>" name
  • Create database schema -> "dbCards.js"
  • add Middlewares in server.js
  • npm i cors cors is adding headers to every request, a security prerequisite when you have things deployed online
  • added cors and nodemon server.js again
  • open postman (interact with servers backend stuff) in local to check our API if they are working correctly - get new "+" tab, and type the http://localhost:8001/ and http://localhost:8001/tinder/cards - post http://localhost:8001/tinder/cards -> body -> raw -> JSON - add below:

• set GET to http://localhost:8001/tinder/cards again and check in postman, we get the things we just post
• Hook up to front-end, go to front-end terminal and stop it then npm i axios, then npm start
• After that go MongoDB and check collections, all data are there
• Deploy app back-end(node.js) on heroku, front-end on firebase
• Heroku, create new app, go to backend terminal config the HEROKU, create .gitignore write in node_modules
• check logs after push: heroku logs --tail, then go setting you will see the link.
• copy that link then go axios.js,
• Firebase, if you don't have please npm i -g firebase-tools
• firebase login then firebase init -> hosting, use existing project
• (public): build
• npm run build create production build, if make any changes in app you have run this again
• firebase deploy

Available Scripts

In the project directory, you can run:

npm start

Runs the app in the development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.

The page will reload if you make edits.
You will also see any lint errors in the console.

npm test

Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.
See the section about running tests for more information.

npm run build

Builds the app for production to the build folder.
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.

The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.
Your app is ready to be deployed!

See the section about deployment for more information.

npm run eject

Note: this is a one-way operation. Once you eject, you can’t go back!

If you aren’t satisfied with the build tool and configuration choices, you can eject at any time. This command will remove the single build dependency from your project.

Instead, it will copy all the configuration files and the transitive dependencies (webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc) right into your project so you have full control over them. All of the commands except eject will still work, but they will point to the copied scripts so you can tweak them. At this point you’re on your own.

You don’t have to ever use eject. The curated feature set is suitable for small and middle deployments, and you shouldn’t feel obligated to use this feature. However we understand that this tool wouldn’t be useful if you couldn’t customize it when you are ready for it.
