Link to project: https://inventory-buddy.herokuapp.com/

How It's Made:

Tech used: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Node.js, Express, MongoDB

This project was created with an MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture outline. We utilized mongoose to assist in creating schemas for our models and ejs to handle our views. Everything is ran from the server.js file in the root directory, with it calling the appropriate resources needed by utilizing our routes. Passport.js is handling the authentication for user sign-up and login.

Lessons Learned:

While building this app, I learned a lot about MVC architecture - specifically in regards to routes and schemas. Having the code encapsulated and abstracted made it clearer and simpler to work with. Building in a group allowed us to collaborate on ideas, come up with creative solutions to problems and share a wealth of knowledge and resources. When the inevitable bugs came up, we worked together to solve them with each member bringing their unique experiences and expertise to the table. - Brynn

Optimizations

There are a lot of extra features to build out in the app including the ability to upload photos for each inventory item, sorting of lists, adding tags and types to items, user profiles, etc.

Heroku branch
The following code is what is currently live on https://inventory-buddy.herokuapp.com

Changed starting script from nodemon to node

Added a Procfile that may or may not be necessary. (I suspect we can take it out)

Changed filenames to ensure routing actually functions properly

Ensure that when launching from Heroku that you check under settings -> config vars and set your DB_STRING properly.

Create an image upload field when adding a new item. The image should show up as a small thumb to fit within the grid (grid size can expand a little if needed).
