A full stack web app that provides a fun and interactive way to learn about celestial bodies!
This application's structure follows the Model-View-Controller paradigm. It uses Handlebars.js for managing Views, MySQL2 and Sequelize to connect to a MySQL database for the Models, and Express.js for the Controllers. Three.js was used to render the 3D graphics.
It also utilizes dotenv for environment variables, bcrypt - to hash passwords, and express-session/connect-session-sequelize for authentication.
To install the npm dependencies cd into the main directory and run:
