• Prepare environment file: cp example.env .env

• Replace values in .env with your custom values

SQL Database Setup

• Log in to your MySql database and run the SQL queries in EC3_DDL.sql file

• Or, if you have installed MySql on your local machine, execute with command:

  $ mysql --host=HOST_NAME --user=USER_NAME --password=PASSWORD --reconnect DATABASE_NAME < MIGRATION_FILE
  

• Sample data included in the SQL queries

Scripts

Configuring MySQL on Heroku

• Prerequisite: Deploy application to Heroku

• Add ClearDB to the application:

  $ heroku addons:create cleardb:ignite
  

• Use heroku config to get the CLEARDB_DATABASE_URL value

• Copy the CLEARDB_DATABASE_URL value and assign it to the db connection variables in .env

• Setup database with migration:

  $ mysql --host=HOST_NAME --user=USER_NAME --password=PASSWORD --reconnect DATABASE_NAME < MIGRATION_FILE

High-Level Software Architecture

Authentication

• When successfully registered or logged in, creates an auth token (JWT) containing user id and stores it in session. (Session will preserve across multiple pages.)

• For protected endpoints that require authentication, use middleware requireAuth that verifies the auth token in session.

  • If the auth token is verified, the user data (id, name, email) will be stored in req.user.

  • Otherwise redirects to homepage.

• Example:

  const { requireAuth } = require('./middleware.js');
  
  app.get('/projects', requireAuth, function(req, res) {
    console.log(req.user);
    /* more code here */
  });
  

  Output:

  {
    id: 1,
    name: 'Test',
    email: 'test1@test.com'
  }
  

Documentation

• Navigate to the jsdoc folder. mkdir jsdoc && cd $_ if it does not exist

• Running the documentation generator on the command line ../node_modules/jsdoc/jsdoc.js ../index.js (path to jsdoc.js) (path to yourFile.js)

• This command will create a directory named out/ in the current working directory

• Within that directory, you will find the generated HTML pages (e.g. yourFile.html)
