About

A labor of love, thanks for stopping by. The learning experience Akmal and I had building this was second to none. This started as a conversation the two of us had about a problem we were going through in terms of learning. There was just so much content and not enough focused paths, and just like that, Learning Path was born. The difficulties of learning are vast; the abundance of information complicates matters. Through Learning Path, you're offered an opportunity to learn in a structured way. Your journey through Learning Path starts with signing up. From there you'll be brought to a users profile page where you'll have the opportunity to create your first path toward learning or viewing recent paths that other users have created. You'll have the opportunity to edit, delete, and update all data from any level. Forgot password? Not a problem, we've used Nodemailer to ensure all information can be handled in an effective and efficient manner. With peer programming sessions and none-stop communication, we were able to go from Entity Relationship Diagrams and Wireframes -> MVP -> Live!

Installation

  1. Create .env file and include following:
MYSQL_PASSWORD=DATABASE_PASSWORD
jwtSecurity=RANDOM_WORD
EMAIL_LOGIN=GMAIL
EMAIL_PASSWORD=GMAIL_APP_PASSWORD

This project at its current state utilizes Nodemail to send emails through Gmail. You will need to generate an App password in the Google account settings. 2. Edit /config/dbConfig.js file to configure a database connection. 3. Run npm run dev to run both the backend server and the client side.

npm run lint - Run the linter and fix issues.
