To download neccesery dependencies, run following commands inside backend directory:
npm install cors
npm install express
npm install multer
npm install mysql2Link Drop uses MySQL for storing user and file data.
To configure one follow these steps:
- Create a MySQL database using initialization script.
- Create a
db.jsfile inside config folder and paste following code, replacing indicated spots:
const mysql = require("mysql2")
const pool = mysql.createPool({
host: "localhost",
user: "...",
password: "...",
database: "link_drop",
connectionLimit: 10,
stringifyObjects: true,
multipleStatements: true,
});
const promisePool = pool.promise();
module.exports = promisePool;Start node.js backend server:
node /backend/server.jsIf you host the website on local machine, then replace each instance of pi0040 in html pages scripts to localhost
