All Visitor's are able to browse posted Food Experiences. Once new members fill the 'user profile' form, the explore screen changes to allow them the opportunity to post their Food Experiences. The Food Experiences are stored on our database and searchable by the members' username or by location.

How to run 'Culture Vault' locally:

Step 1. Install Postgres, Postico and Node.js
- Install Postgres, Postico and Node.js
- Create data directory in Postico for Postgres store data
- Connect using Postico to data directory
Step 2. Get Culture Vault source code and install package
- Clone Culture Vault from github: $ git clone https://github.com/Ormabe/culture_vault.git
- Go into culture_vault folder and install node package: cd culture_vault && npm install
Step 3. Populate seed data from file
- node populateData.js
Step 4. Create an .env file at your root directory. Set your SECRET LOGIN SECURITY KEY, the demo was designed with a 24-digit password. You can generate a truly random secret key yourself: https://lastpass.com/generatepassword.php
- SECRET_LOGIN_KEY=Replace with your new 24-digit password
Step 5. Turn on PostgreSQL
Step 6. Create a new database in Postico named culture_vault.

Step 7. Create a config.json file in the backend/server/config folder.

Insert the following code into the newly created config.json file:

    {
      "development": {
        "username": "root",
        "password": null,
        "database": "culture_vault",
        "host": "127.0.0.1",
        "dialect": "postgres"
      },
      "test": {

CRUD App

This is a simple web-based app that uses restful API to create, retrieve, update and delete information from your PostgresSQL data directory, using PostgresSQL, Sequelize, Express.js, and Node.js

PostgreSQL is a powerful, open source object-relational database system. It has more than 15 years of active development and a proven architecture that has earned it a strong reputation for reliability, data integrity, and correctness. It runs on all major operating systems, including Linux, UNIX (AIX, BSD, HP-UX, SGI IRIX, Mac OS X, Solaris, Tru64), and Windows. It is fully ACID compliant, has full support for foreign keys, joins, views, triggers, and stored procedures (in multiple languages). It includes most SQL:2008 data types, including INTEGER, NUMERIC, BOOLEAN, CHAR, VARCHAR, DATE, INTERVAL, and TIMESTAMP. It also supports storage of binary large objects, including pictures, sounds, or video. It has native programming interfaces for C/C++, Java, .Net, Perl, Python, Ruby, Tcl, ODBC, among others, and exceptional documentation.
Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform JavaScript runtime environment for developing a diverse variety of tools and applications
Postico is a modern database app for your Mac. Postico is the perfect tool for data entry, analytics, and application development
Sequelize is a promise-based ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) for Node.js. It supports the dialects PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite and MSSQL and features solid transaction support, relations, and read replication.
Express.js or simply Express, is a web application framework for Node.js, released as free and open-source software under the MIT License. It is designed for building web applications and APIs. It is the de facto standard server framework for Node.js.
Passportjs An authentication middleware for Node.js.
