Festify is an app that allows it's users encounter new people based on their shared interest in music (genres), and go to festivals / concerts together.
When I am using the app I want to be able to create an account so that others can see who I am.
With the current iteration of this node.js app you can register, login and update your account. Furthermore your password is hashed using Argon2 for added security.
Make a new folder in wich you want to place this repository. This way you will be able to find the project easily on your computer.
You can install Festiv either by downloading the ZIP, or alternatively if you prefer cloning it in the CLI; you should run the following code:
gh repo clone Aidan98/Project-Tech-2022
Once you have cloned the repo you need to install the dependencies. You do this by running npm install in the terminal (make sure your terminal is set in the right directory i.e the directory the repo is in).
In order to run Festify you need to enter npm start in your terminal. the server will run on port 3000. Your url should look like this: http://localhost:3000/users/register
Set up your .env file for a MongoDB connection, the file should include the following:
MongoURI= <YOUR MONGO DB URI>
SecretSESSION = <YOUR SECRET KEY>
