My-Movies

GA WDI London - Project 2

Brief

This is an example RESTful App with several models being stored in a mongo database.

As a huge movies fan, I decided to create my own collection which contains a list of my favorites movies selected by their directors. The user in addition to visit this app, can also add new movies and new directors based on his preferences.

Featuces

• Authentication with BCrypt
• Login redirects to previously viewd page (see controller/sessions.js )
• User can add movies and directors and favorite movies
• Users can only modify data they have added themselves
• Users ca add comments and rating to the movies
• User's movies populated with a virtual (see models/user.js)
• Frontend form validation with HTML5 and jQuery Validate Plugin

Run Locally

You will need node and mongodb set up on your local environment.

If you do not have them, I would advise installing them with homebrew (Mac only).

• Download or clone the Github repo
• Run yarn install or npm install in the terminal to install all the dependencies
• Run yarn seed or node db/seeds to seed the database
• Run node index.js (or simply nodemon if you have nodemon installed) to start the app.

To create this project I used the following technologies:

• HTML5
• SCSS
• Bulma

• jQuery
• Node.js
• Express.js
• EJS
• MongoDB
• Mongoose
• BCrypt
• Gulp
