Technologies used: React, Redux, Node, Express, OAuth(JSON Web Tokens), and Mongo (mLab)
DevConnector is a social platform for Software Engineers to showcase their skills. Users can create profiles that will display development skills, educational and work experience, display recent GitHub repositories, create/like/unlike posts, and add comments to posts. The app also has extensive validation and error reporting.
Note: Once you have the repo cloned locally, you need to create a keys_dev.js file in the config folder in the repo's root in order for the app to work. The contents of keys_dev.js must be:
module.exports = {
mongoURI: "MongoDB_URI_link_from_mLab",
secretOrKey: "JWT_secret_string"
};
Note: You will also need to register a GitHub OAuth app in order to get a clientId and a clientSecret. These need to be added to the state in client > src > components > profile > ProfileGithub.js
> git clone https://github.com/D-Molloy/DevConnector.git
> cd DevConnector
> npm install
> npm run client-install
> npm run dev
If the React development server doesn't start up, go to localhost:3000/ in your browser.
