Vote4Real

Voting SPA (single page application)

Live demo (current progress): https://vote4real.herokuapp.com/

This is a freeCodeCamp back-end challenge implementation.

It was built using Node, MongoDB, React, Express and facebook authentication.

Basic/required Features

• As an authenticated user, I can keep my polls and come back later to access them.
• As an authenticated user, I can share my polls with my friends.
• As an authenticated user, I can see the aggregate results of my polls.
• As an authenticated user, I can delete polls that I decide I don't want anymore.
• As an authenticated user, I can create a poll with any number of possible items.
• As an unauthenticated or authenticated user, I can see and vote on everyone's polls.
• As an unauthenticated or authenticated user, I can see the results of polls in chart form.
• As an authenticated user, if I don't like the options on a poll, I can create a new option.

Pre Running Instructions

In order to use facebook authentication, you have to create a new app at Facebook Developers.

Then create the following file to store all sensitive data.

//src/config/auth.js
module.exports = {

    'facebookAuth' : {
        'clientID'      : 'YOUR_APP_ID',
        'clientSecret'  : 'YOUR_APP_SECRET',
        'callbackURL'   : 'FACEBOOK_CALLBACK_URL'
    }

};

An alternative is to set the following environment variables if you are running in production:

clientID = 'YOUR_APP_ID'
clientSecret = 'YOUR_APP_SECRET'
callbackURL = 'FACEBOOK_CALLBACK_URL'

And that's it! You're all set to run the application.

Running Instructions

1st terminal tab: npm run build

2nd terminal tab: sudo mongod

3rd terminal tab: sudo npm run dev

Then, just open your browser at http://localhost:3000

PS: you have to make additional configuration if you prefer not to use sudo running those commands.
