uplifty's Issues

Angular views don't refresh after POST request

Find a way to refresh views after doing post request

Fix mobile menu

Menu is cramped... it needs moar space! Needs menu button

Send registration details to users who sign up via email

Users should receive an email containing the information of their account.

isAdmin is called multiple times on initial and state changes

No clue what's going on, but I figured it could be affecting app performance. Not anything major but annoying.

isAdmin relies on localStorage

isAdmin currently checks whether the role exists in the localStorage.. the way it is right now, anybody can insert the role into localStorage and spoof. It needs to make a request to the server to verify whether the person making the request indeed has the role; create isAdmin verifier on node side.

profile section

profile section to view and update

Allow users to upload profile images

Allow users to upload profile images that show up on the profile page, and on status likes.

user logins

user logins, would require mongodb, maybe socket.io for auth?

Take setRole & isAdmin out of dependency asap

setRole currently depends on the response from the server to insert the data into localStorage. It's best to take this portion out of the dependency ASAP to avoid problems with dependency updates.

isAdmin will require a response from the server to make sure admin has valid token.

Will need to make this work within the app, possibly using a service?

redis integration

redis integration to store sessions

Add functionality for deletion/modifications of accounts

-Allow users to delete their account.
-Allow admins to modify and delete regular user accounts.

All hidden states show on initial loadup

HTML seems to be loaded first, revealing all the hidden states, and the angular app kicking in afterwards. See if there's a way to fix.. shouldn't be too big of a problem though, since there's server-side auth in place.

server/client

setRole needs to be refined to get role from token

The way it's setup right now, role is assigned by server "user" response, and not via token.

Maybe it's not a big deal? Regardless, the server needs to check whether the role they have and the user making the request are the same.
