Brandta Blog

Description

The Brandta Blog is a CMS-Style-Blog-Site that lets registered users share titled posts and comments. This app was built with Node and Express, and templated with Handlebars. The app can create user accounts and store their posts and comments on a server-side database using the Sequelize ORM for MySQL via JAWSDB on Heroku.

Installation

A few environment variables are needed in a .env file:

• DB_NAME = challenge_db: the Sequelize instance will use this database when manipulating the User, Comment and Post models
• DB_USER: name of the MySQL user, which is root by default
• DB_PASS: the password for your MySQL server

npm i
npm run start:dev

The server is now running locally at http://localhost:3000

Deployment

The site is deployed on Heroku: https://brandta-blog.herokuapp.com/
