Motion Picture
Introduction
This application is created using Nodejs as a simple mimic for IMDB.
Simple Features
Search
Pretty basic search that looks for only movies and tv shows.
User Account
This was the starting point where I wanted to make my first auth-based project. Any user account is saved in the database following the schema in the user model. Passwords are hashed so they're not accessible in anyway.
Lists
This is the main feature that I focused on in this application. Simply a user can create a list with the access level that he wants whether public or private.
Seen
Each user has a list of his seen media. This helps when you navigate through another user's list and you want to know what you marked as seen, a simple progress bar that evaluate the percentage of seen media.
Why Motion Picture
Since I've started learning Nodejs I have published two applications
And I thought that my third one has to be different with a new challenge as a young ninja step.
- In finemusic my challenge was to create a site that gets data from API, forms it in a proper way that user-friendly
- In the Egyptian Metro Guide my challenge was to create a site that simulate the metro stops and their directions using Graph Algorithm
and here my main objective is a site that
- Has authentication
- Has multiple access level [public, private]
- and always keep it user-friendly
I think I've done a pretty good job in those three points so far.
Implemention
You need
- MongoDB as a database
- TMDB API Key
- JWT Secret Key
- Token Expiration date
and pass them as global variables that goes with names of
MONGODB_URLTMDB_API_KEYJWT_SECRETEXP_DATE
What I have gained
In about two weeks this project was almost done. In that period I have increased my code clarity by learning about functional programming which I may not have implemented to the fullest but I will use it excessively in the upcoming projects. Making better routes as my routes has changed multiple times to make it the most sensible.
