Description
A simple "Tech Blog" website using the Model-View-Controller format. A MySQL database is used to store User data, as well as Posts and Comments on those Posts. Database modelling is done through the Sequelize ORM for MySQL. The API ("Controller") functions are accessed using Express.js web application framework. The "View" functions are provided by Handlebars.js templating system.
Installation
NOTE: As of November 2022, Heroku has no "free" accounts, so the demo application has been taken offline until another suitable host can be found.
Can also be installed locally by copying directory structure as-is, then doing a npm install in the base directory to install necessary dependancies. Application database is MySql, and the database container can be created by navigating to the /db directory and then using the MySQL command line utility and the SOURCE command to create it. Data tables can be seeded into the container after this by navigating to the /seeds directory and using the command node seed.js to create them.
