Bootstrap application data

When you start your application for the first time, if you don't have any data, we auto inject a dataset in your mongo database. You can see how we did it in the /config/function/bootstrap.js file. It calls the initDatabase function of the /api/app/service/App.js service's file. The dataset is in /api/app/config/data.json.

Rendering views

When you are at http://localhost:1337, Strapi renders the /public/index.html file. In this file we inject /public/css/style.css and /public/scripts/index.js. When you click on a cheesecake item, Strapi renders public/product.html. Documentation link https://strapi.io/documentation/guides/public-assets.html.

Filters

In the /public/scripts/index.js you will see how to make a GET request using filter params on cakes. API endpoints are located at /api/cake/config/routes.json. Documentation link https://strapi.io/documentation/guides/filters.html.

Custom route

To apply the logged user as the author of the review we have to custom the back-e,d part, we created a /reviews/submit route. In the controller function we get the user id from the session and apply the value to the review object.

Authentication

In public/product.html page we add login / register function to be able to submit a review. At the end of the /public/scripts/product.js file you will see how use auth routes. Documentation link https://strapi.io/documentation/guides/authentification.html.

Admin

In the admin panel (http://localhost:1337/admin) you will be able to manage (create/update/delete) cakes.
