Installation

To install the SvelteMongoSvelteKit App, follow these steps:

1. Create a .env file at the root of your application and add the following variables:

MONGODB_CONNECTION_URI=<your_connection_uri>
DATABASE_NAME=<your_database_name>

Replace <your_connection_uri> with your own connection URI available in your personal space within MongoDB, and <your_database_name> with the name of the database you’ll be using in your project.

2. Test the template by creating the necessary database collections:

   • users
   • projects

3. To run the app, use the following command:

npm run dev

This will start the development server.

4. Push your code to GitHub and deploy the app on Vercel. Make sure to store your secret variables in .env files and add them to .gitignore to protect sensitive information.
