Notes

• Any technology or framework except for the persistence layer. The persistence layer should be MongoDB

• You can use MySQL/PostgreSQL to store user information but the blog posts should be stored, and saved on a MongoDB instance

How To Use:

• Download npm
  
• This project also requires MongoDB locally to use the database.
• Make sure npm commands are global. Set it in your system's environment variables.

1. Navigate to the folder directory then type 'npm install'
2. Start the mongodb server by typing 'mongod'
3. Type 'npm start'
4. Type 'localhost:8080' in the browser url
