Nightlife Coordination App

Project Overview

This application is a full stack JavaScript nightlife coordination app that lets the users view all bars in their area. The users can reserve a place and keep track of their friends who are going to the same places. The application also utilizes the authentication by using PassportJS(Local & Facebook Strategy).

The logic of the application is described below:

As an authenticated user

• The user can view all bars in his/her area.
• The user can add himself/herself to a bar to indicate he/she is going there tonight.
• The user can remove himself/herself from a bar if he/she no longer wants to go there.

As an unauthenticated user

• The user can view all bars in his/her area.

How I built this application?

The application is divided into 3 parts:

1. Backend:
   • bcrypt : hash user's password when a user signs up and compare hashed password when user login
   • body-parser: parse the input fields from forms
   • connect-flash : raise error messages when errors occur
   • cookie-parser : parse cookie
   • ejs : view engine
   • express : control routes
   • express-session : session
   • helmet : secure express app by setting various HTTP header
   • mongoose : database (User && Place)
   • morgan: HTTP request logger middleware
   • passport: Authentication
   • passport-local Authentication for Local Strategy
   • passport-facebook Authentication for user with Facebook account.
   • YELP API: Bars Data.
2. Frontend:
   • Bootstrap
