This is the frontend part of our group project, Odd Jobs, a mobile app to help connect members of the community who require, or wish to offer, help with odd jobs. Users have the ability to either post a job, or respond to a posted job. There is also an integrated chat feature which enables users to communicate about a job. The user’s location is pinned to a map which displays jobs in the surrounding area.
The repo for the frontend can be found here:

Start the mongodb server (command my differ depending on OS)
sudo service mongodb start- The server should be running on your machine locally at 127.0.0.1:27017

npm i3. Create Databases
- The project has development and test databases
- To create them:
- cd into backend/db/
- run the following command
mongodb < db_setup.js- This will create empty databases. The seed function (ran before tests) will populate them
4. Create Environment Variables
- For the server to find the local databases, environment variables will need to set up.
- Create 2 different files, one for the development db and one for the test db:
.env.development
MONGO_URI = mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/oddjobs
.env.test
MONGO_URI = mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/oddjobs_test
