Decision Maker Midterm Project

Introduction

We've built an application that allows a user to create a poll and send it to their friends to help make decisions. This project allowed us to practice our Front-end and Back-end Programming skills. Some of the technologies we used include Express, Node, Postgresql database, SASS, and a Mailgun API. We also got experience working as a development team through our git workflow. The results of each poll are sorted using the Borda Count method.

Getting Started

1. Create the .env by using .env.example as a reference: cp .env.example .env
2. Update the .env file with your correct local information. You will also have to sign up for a Mailgun account to get the API key and domain for the email API. Put those in the .env file.
3. Install dependencies: npm i
4. Fix to binaries for sass: npm rebuild node-sass
5. Reset database: npm run db:reset

• Check the db folder to see what gets created and seeded in the SDB

7. Run the server: npm run local
8. Visit http://localhost:8080/
