This is my first project, wich i made to get some practice with backend concepts. This was built from scratch and took me 3 days. I used Express framework for Node JS, with Mongoose and Passport as main modules. I used basic Bootstrap for visuals, and EJS as view engine. And a banana favicon, because why not. 🍌
This project requires npm ( node package manager ) and node installed. Also requires MongoDB installed.
MongoDB https://www.mongodb.com/try/download/community
Node js: https://nodejs.org/en/
Open a terminal pointing to the projet folder and type the following commands :
npm installnpm startthen open a browser to this adress : http://localhost:3000/
Please use Firefox or Google Chrome, the date part with Safari or Edge is a bit.. funky ~
If everything works you should see a line in terminal saying : "-: Mongoose connection open :-" If not, check your installation of mongo.
This project simulates a registering process, and then authentification using a Passport local strategy. Only authentificated users can make adjustemts to an article list. Unauthenticated users only have the read option. You should be able to register, then connect, and finaly add items to the article section using local mongoDB database.
Please note that the "Contact me" button is fake. It only goes into my Mailtrap inbox.
If you want to contribute this project, please do. I'm only learning at this point, and every help is welcome.
