Tech Stack

Objectives & Minimum Requirements

• Build a Full-Stack minimum viable product (MVP) of a proposed web app
• Must implement full CRUD (create, read, update, delete) functionality to a database
• Must perform API requests

Installation & Setup

• make sure Docker Desktop is installed and running on your machine
• click the green "code" button above, then click the 'copy' icon under HTTPS to copy the repo's URL
• on your terminal run git clone <repo-URL>
• cd into the mvp-fitness-tracker directory
• run cp .env.template .env
• run docker-compose up -d --build
• go to localhost:3000 on your browser
• to power-down the app and delete all containers and associated volumes run docker-compose down -v
• (optional) to power-down the app and also delete its images run docker-compose down -v --rmi all

Developer's Notes

• The most challenging aspect of this app was converting ACFT scoring tables only available in PDF into JSON data suitable for calculations
• I also developed my own insertScoresToJson() middleware to process raw scores submitted with a new ACFT test
• This particular app was initially developed within a week and demo to the class. I later refined it adding data validation and more functionality such as out of tolerance records tagging and UI improvements
• Finally, I containerized the entire application utilizing Nginx on the client, Node.js and Express.js on the server, and a PostgreSQL database
