Fashion Trader

A dynamic end-to-end web application that enables a community of fashion lovers to buy and sell new and gently-worn items.


Overview

Fashion Trader is a dynamic web application using front end and back end technologies. Users can register an account, post items they would like to sell, and browse the items that other users have posted for sale. It's part marketplace, part social platform. Users are able to input various details about the items they would like to sell, including the desired price, and then post those items on the site. Other users can then load and browse the items in the Shop.

Run Fashion Trader Locally

Setup

To run Fashion Trader, you will need to install both MySQL and Node.js.

MySQL Database Setup

Once MySQL is installed, you will be able to create the fashion_trader database using the SQL file db/schema.sql located in this repository. Run this code inside your MySQL client (e.g. MySQL Workbench) to create your local database. You will need to create a .env file with both a SEQUELIZE_USER and SEQUELIZE_PASSWORD variable that match your MySQL Workbench credentials, as well as ADMIN_USER_PWD and USER_PWD variables so that you can log in as the "seed" users. You will then be ready to proceed with running Fashion Trader.

Running Fashion Trader

Once you have the database and .env file set up, run these commands in the command line:

git clone git@github.com:jeff-swanner/Project-02.git
cd Project-02
npm install

The required dependencies will be installed, and you will be ready to run the application from the command line. You will need to open the server.js file and configure the PORT variable on line 9 to the value of your choice. For example:

export PORT = 8080

Afterwards, you will need to initialize the server using Node.js.

node server.js

The application will now be running locally on your specified PORT. In this example, it will be running on PORT 8080. You will be able to access the application from your web browser at the URL http://localhost:8080.
