Challenges

A learning curve was to install and implement Alpine.js. I chose this lightweight framework because I wanted to add a library that complimented and fitted the profile of Tailwind. I also wanted something that could be implemented with EJS and wasn't too complicated given I had chosen to use embedded JavaScript.

Testing

Integration tests using Supertest.

A Installation

To run this project you must install node and express.

Fork and clone the repo and then run the following from a terminal if on Mac or command prompt on windows:

npm i

This will install the required package.json file

Create your .env files and set up cloudinary and mongoDb then add the settings to your .env like so.

PORT = any port number
DB_STRING = your mongodb connection
CLOUD_NAME =''
API_KEY =''
API_SECRET =''

Create your .gitignore file so you aren't giving away any secrets and add your .env and node_modules.
