After we searched about the features that every Technology provides we chose to work with Express + Handlebars + MongoDB + SASS.
- Express is a minimal and flexible Node.js web application framework that provides a robust set of features to develop the web and mobile applications. It facilitates the rapid development of Node based web applications. These are some of the core features of Express framework −
-
Allows to set up middlewares to respond to HTTP Requests.
-
Defines a routing table which is used to perform different actions based on HTTP Method and URL.
-
Allows to dynamically render HTML Pages based on passing arguments to templates.
-
MongoDB is a database. This is the place where we want to store the information for our application.
-
SASS makes CSS fun again. Sass is an extension of CSS, adding nested rules, variables, mixins, selector inheritance, and more. It's translated to well-formatted, standard CSS using the command line tool or a web-framework plugin.
-
Handlebars adds a couple of additional features to make writing templates easier and also changes a tiny detail of how partials work.
- CamelCase for JavaScript id's
- kebab-case for SASS classes
- comments for code clarification
- ES6 on backend
- other team member understands the code before approval
- user sign-up and login
- vote for events
- show past events
- add coin system for earning coins when participating in events
