This server is built to serve both the Cfe admin dashboard and the Cfe client web application. It manages the MongoDB database used by both apps, which is hosted on Atlas and controlled via Mongoose. Mongoose gave us the ability to build associations between a few of our collections, while taking advantage of the horizontal scalability of MongoDB. It also handles user verification for both apps, using jsonwebtoken for the dashboard admin accounts, and google-auth-library for the client accounts. Our admin passwords are salted and hashed using bcrypt. For all routes that have the potential to create, update, or destroy data the server authenticates the user on each call to protect our database. We draw on the data gathered by Google to populate basic information about each of our cafes via the Google Places API. As both applications are built with React and are hosted separately, this server serves only json data.
