How to create a Blogging Website with Express, NodeJs and MongoDB

Hello Developers,




Fork My github Repo And Give a Star

If You want to make any awesome changes do fork and push in the repo.

  • 1st you have to Fork the project
  • Use your git Bash and

git clone <url of repo>

  • Next, You have to install all the necessary packages. So for that, just type 👇 and press enter

npm install

  • If you want to understand the code Open your favourite Code editor. I have explained each and every function in detailed manner in comment.
  • To run the project You just have to write the following command

nodemon server.js

  • Server.js Contains

process.env.CONNECTION_URL

This CONNECTION_URL contains the mongoDB Localhost url you can find it in mongoDB compass

  • For the above CONNECTION_URL You need to create a **.env** file and Add the following CONNECTION_URL=localhosturl (*NOTEâť—: Do not use single or double quotes for adding url *)


I have created a Blogging Website with Node Js as backend, express and mongoDB as a database.
This Blogging Website performs CRUD operations.
