A full-stack web app made using Express, SQLite, and jQuery

Employee Data Management Site

This is a full-stack web app built with Node, Express (routing), pug (templating), jQuery (client-side scripting), and SQLite (database).

When deployed, it will look something like this:

Basic CRUD operations are will be supported on a table of employees.

TODO

• Build a preview/exported/static site to display on Github Pages
• Make generated dates in a consistent string format (consider using a library like moment.js)
• Add POST route for making new employees
  • Complete new-employee.pug form
• Add PUT route for editing existing employees
• Add a navbar to layout.pug for navigating the entire site.
• Display employee names/positions as retrieved from database
• Add edit button to edit employee data
• Add honeypot "backdoor" which records user info
  • This page shoudln't be accessed by normal users; log infos of ppl that visit it (e.g. with a scraper)
• Add news table to database which holds company news
  • Add previews of news stories to homepage

Questions

Node/Express

• Are there some well-established tools for building static websites from Express apps?
  • Or, should I just do a little bit of web scraping on my own site...

SQLite

• Since we have id set as INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, will it automatically make new unique IDs if I don't explicitely set it?
• SQLite doesn't have a native data type for dates; I'll stick with using consistent strings for now...

Other Notes

• top-bottom linear gradient doesn't display correctly in Brave browser
• For this project, I'm keeping things simple and avoiding using an ORM
