This project follows the CMV format:
The controllers for this project are a series of API routes that allow the server and the front-end to communicate with each other. The app uses sequelize to create mysql commands that get, post, update, and delete all of the things that you would need to.
The models for this project are posts, comments, and users. Each time a user/comment/post is created or modified, it uses these models.
The front-end of this project uses the Handlebars template engine to create template HTML code that can be plugged in where necessary. Posts and comments are dynamically added in this way. The application also uses Bootstrap for its front-end styling.
