This application is a Bible Tracking app that allows you to track your reading progress of the bible. It allows you to add daily reading records and creates a stats page of different stats such as your percentage through the whole bible, your progress of the old & new testament as well as a month by month bar chart so you can see your progress over time.
The application is now live at: http://verses-eu.herokuapp.com/
The application landing page for beta signups is available at: http://versesapp.duckdns.org/ | (Repo)
The application is built using Node.js using the express.js framework. The UI using Tailwind Css & Alpine JS as well as EJS (Embedded Javascript) Templates. The database for the application is MongoDB and is connected to via Mongoose.
The application uses an MVC design with 2 types of controllers. Normal controllers which return a view with data and api controllers which return only JSON objects in order to allow AJAX on some of the pages.
In order to run the application for development run the following commands. (Dev differs from production by the fact it sets up a TailwindCSS watcher, meaning any changes to the UI will automatically update the output Tailwind CSS file):
npm installand thennpm run dev
In order to run production locally, use:
npm installand thennpm run prod
Finally used by Heroku:
npm run start
In order for the application to run an environment file needs to be created (.env). An example of which can be seen below:
PORT=8080
MONGODB_URI=mongodb+srv://user:server/db?options
MONGODB_PRODUCTION_URI=mongodb+srv://user:server/db?options
