Getting started with MERN Stack

on
The MERN stack is a combination of four popular technologies used to build web applications: MongoDB, Express, React, and Node.js. It allows developers to build web applications using a single language, JavaScript. 
In this blog, we will guide you through the steps to get started with the MERN stack.

Install Node.js and npm:

  • Node.js comes with npm (Node Package Manager). Download and install Node.js from the official website.

Install MongoDB:

  • MongoDB is a NoSQL database that's a core part of the MERN stack. You can download and install MongoDB Community Edition for free from the official website.

Create a MongoDB database:

  • Use the MongoDB shell to create a new database for your application. Follow the official MongoDB documentation for guidance.

Install Express.js:

  • Express.js is a popular Node.js web application framework. You can install it using npm by running the command npm install express.

Set up an Express.js server:

  • Create an Express.js server that will handle HTTP requests and responses from the client. Use the official Express.js documentation for guidance.

Install React.js:

  • React.js is a JavaScript library used for building user interfaces. Install it using npm by running the command npm install react.

Create a React.js application:

  • Use the create-react-app command to create a new React.js application. Follow the official React.js documentation for guidance.

Connect the frontend and backend:

  • Once you have your backend and frontend set up, you'll need to connect them so that they can communicate with each other. You can use the fetch API to make HTTP requests from the frontend to the backend.

Node.js, MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, create-react-app, and fetch API are all open-source technologies, making MERN stack development cost-effective. Additionally, MERN stack development is scalable and quick due to its reusable code and components.
