Actual Date needed

[Gautam-Arora24]

I want actual date to be added when a teacher posts in the announcement section.

[twaaaadahardeep]

Hi, I can take this up!

[Gautam-Arora24]

Sure, Go ahead

[Gautam-Arora24]

Also I am making a new branch. You should make a PR (incase you want) in that new branch and not on master

[twaaaadahardeep]

OK, will keep in mind.

Also, can I suggest using an env variable to send API requests? I noticed that the Heroku links were hardcoded in the client side which made the task of changing the links to my localhost very laborious. Thoughts?

[Gautam-Arora24]

Ya... I too think the same. If you want you could do so

[twaaaadahardeep]

I already put in a Pull Request.

[Gautam-Arora24]

Why this error is showing when I try to run my backend server ?

[twaaaadahardeep]

I think you need to use npm install. Let me know if it works.
Also, use it inside client. I added client/node_modules in .gitignore

[twaaaadahardeep]

If that doesn't work then delete node_modules and package-lock.json and run npm install again. Sorry for the mess.

[Gautam-Arora24]

No worries. I will install it again tomorrow and will inform you.

[twaaaadahardeep]

OK, be sure to let me know if the problem persists.

[Gautam-Arora24]

Ok

[Gautam-Arora24]

The data has not been added yet. Kindly look at this

[twaaaadahardeep]

This was the same output when I ran the server locally with API requests to Heroku. If you are testing on a local server, check if you're making the requests to your local backend server. Set the env MONGODB_URI variable to the local database too.

If you have pushed the code, then check if the database has updated with the timestamps.

[Gautam-Arora24]

I tried by pushing the code to heroku but the database was still not populated with timestamps field

[twaaaadahardeep]

I would suggest you to check it locally once so that we know it's not the code that is causing an issue.

[Gautam-Arora24]

I tried it locally but same problem persists

[Gautam-Arora24]

Although I am getting updatedAt value in my MongoDB

[twaaaadahardeep]

Is it showing Invalid DateTime in both the Dashboard and Announcement tabs?

[Gautam-Arora24]

Yes

[twaaaadahardeep]

The code inside the Repo looks fine to me. Try printing the object data here and here. You'll get a better look at what's happening.

[Gautam-Arora24]

Sure
