Getting Started

In this project, I used node and NPM to install packages. To install all the packages registered in the package.json file run the code below after downloading this project.

$ npm install

This will install the following packages:

Dependencies

• body-parser
• dotenv
• ejs
• express
• mongodb
• slug
• multer
• mongoose

I also used the following packages while coding:

Dev dependencies

• nodemon
• prettier
• EJS-Lint

Templating engine

for templating engine i used EJS, first i started looking into what templating engine was the best and i was quickly convinced by my classmates to pick EJS. I looked into how to use it and started working with it almost immediately. The way i used it was to make partials and use them in my pages, and secondly i used it to show data from the database to the profile page

Linter

as for linters i tried to use EJSLint for a while but nothing worked so i just went with prettier to make my code look a lot better.

• prettier

besides prettier i also tried ESlint and used the settings based on my project.

• ESLint

Wireframes

License

I used a MIT license since this one seemed most appropriate for the app i'm trying to make. and since its a school project i'm not concerned about people using my code for whatever purpose.
