This repository contains the backend codebase for my Final Year Project, an Environmental Reporting System. This system is designed to facilitate the collection, management, and visualization of environmental data. It leverages the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React Native, and Node.js) to ensure robust performance and scalability.
The purpose of this project is to create an automated reporting system that aims to help in managing the environmental incidents reporting system for the public and environmental incidents documenting system for organizations.

You can choose to set up the backend in one of two ways:
If you prefer using Docker for containerized development, follow these steps: install docker and docker-compose then in console:
docker-composer upIf you'd like to set up the backend locally, follow these steps: install mongo or use mongo atlas and change the database url in .env
e.g. With mongo atlas
DB_CONN_STRING="mongodb+srv://[username:password@]host[/[defaultauthdb][?options]]"Install Dependencies
