Digital Journal Notes

Deployed here: Digital-Journal-Notes

A full stack CRUD web application for creating private journal entries where you can create, edit, and delete entries in real time.

It was built with the following:

Frontend:

• React.js
• Context
• Semantic-UI

Backend(link to backend Repo):

• Ruby on Rails API
• JWT

Requirements to start application locally:

• Node version 10 or above
• The backend repo configured and setup
• Modern web browser (Chrome, Firefox, or Safari)

To run the application:

• Make sure the rails api is configured properly and running on port 3000 on your local machine (instructions on how to configure backend api located in backend repo)
• run npm install in the root of this project directory to install the required packages and dependencies
• Note: before you spin up the server, make sure you go into the 'api' folder and change the links from the deployed heroku app to http://localhost:3000, to make requests from the local version of the api and not the deployed version.
• then afterwards run the following command npm run-script run to spin up the local server at the next available port (press y in the command line after the prompt shows up)
• View it in your preferred modern browser (Safari, Firefox, Chrome).
