Using the mongoose library, the application will connect to a mongoDB server provided in the .env

⚠️ DATABASE SETUP ⚠️

The database library is mongoose.
You will need to create a .env file in the root directory.
Inside this file you should have the following variables:

ATLASDB=<your atlas db connection string>

If you do not include this, your program will not work.
Do not surround with ", just use the text and make sure the password is correct.

Test on your machine

To test on your machine, on github desktop you can checkout the branch config-folder-creation or by command line

git fetch origin config-folder-creation
git checkout config-folder-creation

Then run

npm i
npm start

🛠 Guidelines to remediate hardcoded secrets

1. Understand the implications of revoking this secret by investigating where it is used in your code.
2. Replace and store your secrets safely. Learn here the best practices.
3. Revoke and rotate these secrets.
4. If possible, rewrite git history. Rewriting git history is not a trivial act. You might completely break other contributing developers' workflow and you risk accidentally deleting legitimate data.

To avoid such incidents in the future consider

• following these best practices for managing and storing secrets including API keys and other credentials
• install secret detection on pre-commit to catch secret before it leaves your machine and ease remediation.
