lesore0789 / blog-app

Fullstack blog app using Express, mongoDB and Bootstrap4

This is a blog application where users can sign up and create a username so they can comment on the blog posts.

This application only allows the Admin to create, edit, and delete new blog posts. The code to create a new Admin user has been commented out, but it can be found on the register file and on the index route file. Please keep in mind that you will need to create an environment variable for your own ADMINCODE.
