Overview

This repository is an exhibition of a CMS-style tech blog, where developers can publish their blog posts and comment on other developers' posts as well. The user can consult the repo to learn how to create a blog site similar to a Wordpress site from scratch using the MVC paradigm in its architecture. The project makes use of Node.js to work with a back end, the MySQL2 as well as the Sequelize packages to manage and interact with the database, the dotenv package to classify environmental variables, the bcrypt package to hash passwords, and the Express Session package as well as the Connect Session Sequelize package to add authentication. Lastly, the project utilizes the Express Handlebars package to serve as a powerful template engine.
