Problem Statement

To Build a Commenting System with following features

• User can make a Comment in this system.
• Ablity to comment on any available post.
• Ability to Edit it's Comment, after being posted.

Major Tasks

• To Keep a Record of a Comments
• To Keep Record of replies to any Comment
• To keep Record of User commenting on the Platform.

Features

• Every User has ability to like or dislike any comment, and that doesn't require login ore register step.
• Anyone can like or dislike any number or times.
• Users are notified for most of the Actions.

Solution

To provide a solution to this problem. I have used follow majorly javascript technologies:

• For Back-end
  • Node JS
  • Express JS
  • Mongoose
  • Mongo DB ( mlab's remote server sandbox )
  • GraphQL

Basic Requirement to run this Solution on a System is Node JS, which includes npm, npx (Node JS is required to download the packages from store and initiate the Project)

How to Run The Code

Clone the Repository or Download as zip This is only to run the Backend

Perform the following instructions

cd backend/

To install Dependencies

npm install

Or

yarn

To Run Server

npm start

Or

yarn start

Server Will Run on Port 4000 , make sure to keep it free.

Explantation

This is a single Screen Application which includes a Header and Body Section

Header has only two major Functions ( To provide User with Login and Register Features )

Body Consist of All the Post/Comment, which are visible to every person but only a logged in Person can make changes in the System. Excluding the like and dislike changes.

Only a logged in user can reply to any Comment and edit a comment ( if posted by him only )

Security Level of users is kept minimal for prototype purpose

Code Overview

Backend consist of index.js which will run the Server

It also includes ***models *** folder containing all the Schema for Database

Along with that graphql_schema folder is present containing all the GraphQL Schema

Remember to add the address of mongoDB server in "keys.json" as it was removed before comminting the code.

By default appliction will fetch from localhot:4000
