Nocturnal Cookies

This is a Web Application that is created for Nocturnal Cookies as a tool to facilitate the buying and selling of cookies on a college campus. Features include:

• Admin Console for employees of Nocturnal Cookies to be able to manage and complete orders
• Owner console that will allow the Owner of the site to create and delete users
• Form for users to enter values and order cookies

Quick Start

Getting Node

This project was created using node/npm. I used [email protected] and [email protected]. You can download node at the node website or from your OS package manager (if you have one installed).

Windows (Chocolatey):

choco install node

Mac (Homebrew):

brew install node

Clone and run the app

1. Run the following command to clone the application to your machine

   git clone https://github.com/ominiet/nocturnalcookies.git

2. cd nocturnal cookies

3. Use npm install to download all the dependencies (do this the first time you run the app)

4. Use npm start to run the application (do this every time you run the app)

Rubric

1. Authorization - We have implemented 2 types of users in our project:
   • Admin - Has access to admin panel and ability to view, modify, and delete orders
   • Owner: Has access to all admin routes and routes to view and manage all other users
2. Database - We have connected to an mLab instance for production and a separate instance for testing
3. Authentication - You may use the login button in the footer to access the admin login page
4. Deployed - The link to our deployed app is (https://nocturnal-cookies.herokuapp.com)
   • Credentials for the owner are:
     • Username: owner
     • Password: pass
5. Code Review - Testing was performed (Go to testing section of README to see more) and we have separated all code files in to logical locations
6. General - Plan changes are in the plan section below
7. User Stories - User stories are in the user stories section below

Testing

We used mocha as our testing framework and chai as our assertion library to test our backend API. Given time constraints, we were not able to test every potential scenario, but our tests do verify that our API does work.

Running the tests

1. You will likely have to run:

   npm install --dev

2. Once the dependencies have downloaded, you may run from the base directory:

   npm test

This will connect you to a test database and perform some unit tests on the API

Plan

Changes:

• We have updated some of our user stories compared to the original document These changes will be documented in the User Stories section
• Our Tech stack has been updated based on team preference and familiarity and has changed to:

Tables	Old	New
Frontend	React	Angular
Backend	Node	Node
Routing	Express	Express
Database	MongoDB	MongoDB
DB Hosting	mLab	mLab
Server Hosting	Heroku	Heroku

• We had also decided to move away from including the Announcements module from our final deliverable since we felt it was too similar to the order management in terms of CRUD and user stories.
  • Instead, We opted to create the owner classification that had additional privileges compared to a regular admin user

Info for Developing

We are going to use the method we learned in Software Engineering to maintain the repository. This will entail keeping a "master" branch which will contain the most recent working version of our web app, a "development" (branched from "main") which will contain our in-progress next version of the web app, and multiple "feature" branches (branched from "development").

This will ensure that there will always be a workable version of the web app to fall back on and revert to if necessary, and will only allow usable changes to make it to the master branch. Having separate feature branches will also help prevent merge conflicts when combining all of the code into the development branch.

Workflow

Creating a new feature branch

1. From the nocturnalcookies repo on GitHub, select the Branch: master button and select development
2. Click the same button and type in the name of the feature branch you wish to create <branchName>
3. In your Command Line, navigate to your project folder and type
   git pull
4. git checkout <branchName>
5. You are now on your created branch that was created from development

Committing code

1. When you are at a good stopping point and want to send code to your feature branch, type in your terminal
   git status
2. Use git add <filename> to add files you wish to commit.
   Do Not use git add .
3. When you have added all of the files you want, use
   git commit -m "<commit message>"
4. Use git push to send the code to GitHub.

Pull Requests

1. Go to the branch on the repo on GitHub
2. Select development on the "base" drop-down and your branch on the "compare" drop-down.
3. Follow the on screen instructions to create the pull request
