This was a solo project.
This is the back end for the online port of my company's VB database, which is used for transcript production and workflow management. The VB database does everything from scheduling to automated shorthand to automated hyperlinking and document formatting, shipping, production, management of company financials, and other business operations, and this back end was designed and created to support a front end that also does such things. It currently contains fake sample data and still needs certain endpoints added to it, but is fully functional. Copyright 2020 Erica Ingram.
- Live solo project
- RESTful API with auth services for transcript production system
- 126 endpoints
- CourtListener, Xero, PayPal, Wunderlist, & Office API support
- Tested and documented via Postman
Back end deployed to Heroku and built using:
- Node.js: a JavaScript runtime.
- Knex: a query builder for PostgreSQL, MySQL and SQLite3, designed to be flexible, portable, and fun to use.
- Express: a fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework for Node.
- bcrypt: modern(-ish) password hashing for your software and your servers.
- PostgreSQL: open-source relational database supporting both SQL & JSON querying.
- CourtListener: assists in automation of authority hyperlinking.
- Office: document creation, formatting, and management.
- PayPal: payment processing and management.
- Wunderlist: to-do list management.
- Xero business accounting software online.
