CSCI 446 Unit #9

Programming Assignment

For this unit you will update the Course Organizer program from Unit 8 to be ready to use a database (we'll actually connect the app to the database in the next unit). See the Specific Requirements.

Hints

• If you've already loaded info but want to start over, you can use the drop command, e.g.,

use [your_database_name]
show collections // optional, just to see if it's there
db.courses.drop() // returns true

• I have a file that contains the syntax for commands like mongodump so that I can just copy-paste as needed.
• The author describes how to set NODE_ENV in *nix. For windows, I needed to (note these commands only apply to the current command window):

set NODE_ENV=production
set MONGOLAB_URI=mongodb://[put the MongoLab uri here]
nodemon
