2. Go to localhost:3000

Running tests

Run ng test to execute the frontend unit tests via Karma.

Run ng e2e to execute the end-to-end tests via Protractor.

Run mongod to run an instance of MongoDB then run npm run testbe to execute the backend tests via Mocha.

Running linters

Run ng lint to execute the frontend TS linting via TSLint.

Run npm run lintbe to execute the backend TS linting via TSLint.

Run npm run linthtml to execute the frontend HTML linting via HTMLHint.
