**skunksworks project for cs56 **

this repo was used to understand how to integrate mlab/mongodb with sparkjava

Cloning this repo will give you a template of what you can use for your own project. The only thing we are missing is a .env file on my local repo that connects to the mlab database.

Utilize the starter code from starter code for lab06 to create your own heroku app.

Please look through the tutorials on Conrad's website to get familiar with setting up the MongoDB database on MLab. By going through the tutorial, you will be able to create a database and user credentials to use in your .env file.
