Things to note before setting up & running this application

• This repo utilizes the following:

• 'Express' - Node.js web application framework

• 'Express-Handlebars' for templating

• 'Postgres' for database management

• 'Knex' for database querying

• 'PassportJS' for authentication

• A database administration tool to view database data (e.g. DBeaver)

1. Common setup

Clone the repo and install the dependencies.

git clone  https://github.com/tejahang/ultimate-recipe.git

cd  ultimate-recipe

2. Installation

Set up an .env file in your root directory

DB_NAME='YOUR-DB-NAME'

4. Create a database in Postgres (same name as DB_NAME); run Knex migration to create empty data tables

knex migrate:latest

5. Run the express application using index.js

• localhost:8080 should return the landing page.

• Currently, no recipes will show if 'Show Me' button is clicked

6. Populate 'recipe' table with data

• Populate data by going to localhost:8080/add_recipe.html admin page to add recipe(s)

• Each successfully added recipe will randomly display on landing page when 'Show Me' button is clicked

7. Interact with different buttons (i.e. routes) & functionalities in app

• Currently if you try to submit a review for a recipe, it will redirect you to a sign-up page

8. Populate 'user' table with data

• Populate data via localhost:8080/signup.html

• Once data is recorded, you will be redirected to localhost:8080/login.html

• Sign in with newly created credentials; you can now successfully submit a review for a recipe
