If it's a dog, cat, or other, it might be on Petsy

Overview

Petsy is an etsy clone, meant to help users adopt lovable pets. This is managed through the following steps:

• Sign Up/Sign In: Registering for an account and then being logged in gives you access to the request system
• View our listings of adorable pets: On the index you'll be able to view all the pets we have to offer and make requests for adoption
• Wait for approval: When you make a request the pets current owner has to review your request and give approval

Technologies

To manage the site we had to use a combination of the MERN Stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js) for site functionality, and AWS (Amazon Web Services) for image storage.

Features

Pet Listings

• Option to make listings for pets you wish to adopt out
  • Ability to upload upto 5 images at a time

    router.post('/pet-upload', function(req, res){
      multiUpload(req, res, function (err) {
      if (err) {
        return res.status(422).send({
          errors: [{
            title: 'File Upload Error',
            detail: err.message
          }]
        });
      } else{
        let imageArray = req.files,
          fileLocation;
  
        const imgLocationArray = [];
          for (let i = 0; i < imageArray.length; i++){
            fileLocation = imageArray[i].location;
            imgLocationArray.push(fileLocation) //iterate through the array of files and grab location
          }
      
        return res.json({
          'imageUrl': imgLocationArray //return the array of location urls from S3
        })};
      });
    });

Requests

• Users wishing to adopt a pet must make a request to the owner
  • The request can be cancelled from the Shopping Kennel
• The Owner can then review a request and approve or deny it
  • when a request is approved all other requests for the same pet are denied

    router.patch("/:requestId/approve",
      passport.authenticate('jwt', { session: false }),
      (req, res) => {
        Request.findOneAndUpdate({_id: req.params.requestId , owner: req.user, status: "pending"},
          {status: "approved"},
          {new: true}) //approves specific request
            .then(approvedRequest => {
              Request.find({ pet: approvedRequest.pet, status: "pending" })
                  .then(otherRequests => {
                    let changedRequests = {};
                    changedRequests.approved = {};
                    changedRequests.denied = {};
                    changedRequests.approved[approvedRequest.id] = formatRequest(approvedRequest);
                    let deniedPromises = [];
                    otherRequests.forEach(otherRequest => {
                      otherRequest.status = "denied";
                      deniedPromises.push(otherRequest.save()
                        .then(deniedRequest => {
                          changedRequests.denied[deniedRequest.id] = formatRequest(deniedRequest._doc);
                        }));
                    }); //denies all other requests for the pet
                    Promise.all(deniedPromises)
                      .then(() => {
                        res.json(changedRequests);
                      })
                  })
                    .catch(err => res.status(500).json({
                      test: "test1"
                    }))
            })
              .catch(err => res.status(500).json({
                request: "Something went wrong"
              }))
      });
