LOCAVORI

DESCRIPTION

Duration:

3-week sprint + 2 week break

Locavori is a full-stack, web application that gives consumers who love to find and learn about local artisan makers. Makers are able to create a profile where they can tell their story, share photos, and direct users to their maker websites and social media. Users are able to search by product category and location, view maker profiles including their featured photos and primary business categories. Users are able to “favorite” makers and see them displayed in a list on their favorites page.

EDA Project

This version uses React, Redux, Express, Passport, and PostgreSQL (a full list of dependencies can be found in package.json).

Prerequisites

Before you get started, make sure you have the following software installed on your computer:

• Node.js
• PostrgeSQL
• Nodemon
• [GoogleCloudPlatformAccount] (https://console.developers.google.com/)
  • Enable the following API's:
    • Maps Javascript API
    • Distance Matrix API
    • Places API
    • Geocoding API
    • Service Usage API

Create database and table

Create a new database called locavori and copy and paste the database.sql file to your SQL:

OR

Create a new database called locavori and run: psql locavori < database.sql in your terminal

If you would like to name your database something else, you will need to change locavori to the name of your new database name in server/modules/pool.js (Line 33)

Development Setup Instructions

• Run npm install
• Create a .env file at the root of the project and paste this line into the file:

  SERVER_SESSION_SECRET=superDuperSecret
  

  While you're in your new .env file, take the time to replace superDuperSecret with some long random string like 25POUbVtx6RKVNWszd9ERB9Bb6 to keep your application secure. Here's a site that can help you: https://passwordsgenerator.net/. If you don't do this step, create a secret with less than eight characters, or leave it as superDuperSecret, you will get a warning.
• Start postgreSQL if not running already by using brew services start postgresql
• Run npm run server
• Run npm run client
• Navigate to localhost:3000
