Acebook

This is a Social Media App written in Node.js.
It was a team project during the Makers Coding Bootcamp.

Created by Guillermina Lorenzo, James Ruffini, Jonas Diete, Liovirgilda Mendonca, Millennia Severino and Thomas Mannion.

It uses:

• Express web framework for Node.js.
• Nodemon to reload the server automatically.
• Handlebars to render view templates.
• Mongoose to model objects in MongoDB.
• ESLint for linting.
• Jest for testing.
• Cypress for end-to-end testing.

If you want to run the app on your computer, download this repo and follow these instructions:

Install Node.js

1. Install Node Version Manager (NVM)

   brew install nvm
   

   Then follow the instructions to update your ~/.bash_profile.
2. Open a new terminal
3. Install the latest version of Node.js, currently 18.1.0.

   nvm install 18
   

Set up your project

1. Fork this repository
2. Clone your fork to your local machine
3. Install Node.js dependencies

   npm install
   

4. Install an ESLint plugin for your editor. For example: linter-eslint for Atom.
5. Install MongoDB

   brew tap mongodb/brew
   brew install mongodb-community@5.0
   

   Note: If you see a message that says If you need to have mongodb-community@5.0 first in your PATH, run:, follow the instruction. Restart your terminal after this.
6. Start MongoDB

   brew services start mongodb-community@5.0
   

Start

1. Start the server

   npm start
   

2. Browse to http://localhost:3000

Start test server

The server must be running locally with test configuration for the integration tests to pass.

npm run start:test

This starts the server on port 3030 and uses the acebook_test MongoDB database, so that integration tests do not interact with the development server.

Test

• Run all tests

  npm test
  

• Run a check

  npm run lint              # linter only
  npm run test:unit         # unit tests only
  npm run test:integration  # integration tests only
