Node / Express Demo App

NodeJS / Express / ES6 Demo application of a simple registration form and an admin page to display registered users.

What was used in this demo app

• Express
• MongoDB
• Lodash
• Jquery
• Jquery Form Validator (http://www.formvalidator.net/)
• datatables (https://datatables.net/)
• Bootstrap
• Mocha/chai
• babel-node
• nodemon
• request

What is NOT done

This is a very simple implementation and does not have all the pieces that a real, production ready application, would (need to) have. This is a list of the most notable missing part that are considered out of scope of this demo but defenitly needed for a real application:

• Authentication for the admin page.
• Frontend framework (like ReactJS, Angular, etc): Query is used for simplicity.
• Server side rendering of pages.
• Frontend (UI) tests.
• Formal responses/errors definition for the API.
• Hot code pushes. This example uses nodemon to restart the server after code. changes, but manual refresh of pages is required at the moment.
• Localization and Internationalization.
• Implementation of logging framework. console is been used currently.
• Database migration framework.

Tests

Simple tests for the api were created and can be executed with a npm command: npm test.
