Secret Keeper is a web application built using Node.js and Express.js that allows users to register, login, and share their secrets anonymously. Users can sign up using either their email and password or their Google account. Once logged in, users can submit their secrets, which will be displayed anonymously on the "Secrets" page for all users to see.
Before running this application, you need to have the following installed:
- Node.js: https://nodejs.org/
- npm (Node Package Manager): npm comes bundled with Node.js installation.
- MongoDB: Make sure you have MongoDB installed and running on your system.
- Clone the repository to your local machine:
git clone https://github.com/Tejjus/secrets-project.git
cd secret-keeper
- Install the required dependencies using npm:
npm install
- Create a
.envfile in the root directory of the project and provide the required environment variables:
CLIENT_ID=your_google_oauth_client_id
CLIENT_SECRET=your_google_oauth_client_secret
URL=mongodb://localhost:27017/
Replace your_google_oauth_client_id and your_google_oauth_client_secret with your Google OAuth 2.0 credentials. Make sure you have MongoDB running on your local machine with the default configuration (port 27017). Adjust the URL if you have a different MongoDB setup.
