About project

This is a project I worked on to practice building a full stack application, using MongoDB, Express, React, NASA API.

There are still some bugs, which I am aware of, and from time to time, I try to fix them little by little.

The code contains a lot of comments because, as this was a new experience for me, I made notes to help myself learn and remember what each part does.

What works now:

When not logged in:

• Can see the default page, just main info about this project;
• at Users page can see list of registered users;
• Login or signup

When logged in:

• search something from NASA API;
• add to favorite;
• check details;
• remove from favorite;
• in profile can update name and password

Usage in local computer

Requirements:

• Node version 14 and more;
• npm version v10.8.2;
