- Stock Benefit is an app that shows share price of stocks which the user wishes to know and invest.
Link to the Web App- https://stockbenefit.herokuapp.com/
FOR NOW- Search for a stock with exact stock name- like for google, their stock name is "GOOG".
You are advised- to open the link in a PC/Laptop for better User experience and Design as only beginning part of the web App is responsive whereas the rest is not ( as the app has been constructed in a very less time ).
You are also advised- to read this entire readme file to understand the importance and efficiency of the app and hurdles faced during the journey.
NOTE:
- This Web App has been designed as part of an internal hackathon organised by a technical club named IOTA of our institute.
- The idea that is part of a hackathon which we chose is to make a web application that uses an external API.
- As part of the idea we are asked to use the data from the external API. ( The results page of the web app uses the data to show the stock prices in a tabular form which includes Opening value, Closing value, High value, Low value and Volume of that particular Stock, which are the data received from the external API ).
- Also, we are asked to provide additional insights that are not directly available through the API. So, we created a seperate User authentication and also a watchlist feature in which a user can add his favourite stock into his watchlist.
- The web app aims to help those middle class of people to analyse stocks, shares and the actual market.
- Thus, enabling them to intelligently invest their savings and make good profits.
- Good looking UI
- Web Application made using an external API ( Alpha vantage API ) to get the information.
- Complete Application for stock trading and analysis.
- Provides basic information without any login. Furthermore, asking for a login if the user wishes to add a particular stock to his watchlist.
- A Watchlist feature in which user can add some stocks into his watchlist so that it becomes easier to watch them again later.
- The stock prices are shown with statistics of daily, weekly and monthly basis. Thus, giving a broad overview to the user whether to invest in a particular stock or not.
- Separate User login for different users helping them have an eye on their interested stocks.
- HOME PAGE- A good looking scrolling home page is designed with good stock related suggestions and quotes.
- SEARCH PAGE- A user can search for his stock to analyse and later invest.
- RESULTS PAGE- The price of that particular stock user searches appears here as a result.
- LOGIN PAGE- If the user wishes to add the stock to his watchlist the user is asked to login.
- SIGNUP PAGE- If the user is a new user, the user is asked to sign up and then login.
- WATCHLIST PAGE- The stock is now added to your watchlist and watch it as frequently as the userr wishes to.
- Local Implementation
In case, you want to download the code from our repo and watch things locally, you are first advised to - install node and mongo
- Then create and use your local data base.(Since, we used a cloud based server- Mongo Atlas)
- Open node command prompt and go to the directory of this downloaded Stock_Benefit folder.
- Use npm init to initialise npm
- You can install the required modules using npm install modulename --save
- You can go through all the modules we used in the package.json file.
- The exception case was what if the user searches for a stock name that is not a stock symbol. Then we came up with a solution of showing a page of NO RESULT
For example- The stock symbol for Google is GOOG. It shows this NO RESULT page if you search for a stock name of Google instead of GOOG.
