Installing dependencies

This application was built using Yarn.

---

-To get started, run yarn install to install the necessary dependencies from yarn.lock. -Create a .env file and connect the MongoDB database to the application. -Reference the .env file in index.js using mongoose:

dotenv.config();

mongoose.connect(process.env.<MONGODB_SRV>, {useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true}, ()=>
{
    console.log("Connected to Atlas")
});

-With Express, open up a server and have it listen to port: 1010:

const port = 1010

app.listen(port, () => {
    console.log(`Running on port ${port}`)
})

-Run nodemon and it should immediately start up the app.
