The goal of this project is to build a comprehensive Employee Management System using React and Node.js. This system will enable efficient management of employee data, providing functionality for creating, reading, updating, and deleting employee records.
-
Database Setup:
- Technology: MySQL
- Purpose: To store employee data persistently.
- Task: Set up a simple relational database to manage employee information.
-
Frontend Development:
- Technology: React
- Purpose: To provide an interactive user interface for managing employees.
- Task: Develop a React application that includes all necessary logic for handling employee data operations.
-
Backend Development:
- Technology: Node.js with Express.js framework
- Purpose: To handle server-side logic and API endpoints.
- Task: Create API endpoints to interact with the MySQL database, facilitating CRUD operations.
-
Data Communication:
- Technology: Axios
- Purpose: To send and receive employee data between the frontend and backend.
- Task: Implement Axios for making HTTP requests to the backend API.
-
Authentication:
- Technology: JWT (JSON Web Tokens)
- Purpose: To secure the application and authenticate users.
- Task: Create a custom JWT tokenizer for user authentication.
-
Routing:
- Technology: Express Router
- Purpose: To manage and serve different routes of the employee management system.
- Task: Set up routing to handle different functionalities and endpoints.
-
Data Security:
- Technology: Hash functions (e.g., bcrypt)
- Purpose: To ensure the security and privacy of employee data.
- Task: Implement hash functions to encrypt sensitive employee information.
By the end of this project, you will have a fully functional Employee Management System that integrates a React frontend with a Node.js backend, secured with JWT authentication and data encryption. This project will enhance your skills in full-stack development, database management, and application security.
