Node-Express-Handlebars: Burger App

The goal was to create a burger logger with MySQL, Node, Express, Handlebars and a homemade ORM, by following the MVC design pattern, using Node and MySQL to query and route data in the app, and Handlebars to generate the HTML.

Bottomless-Burgers is a restaurant app that lets users input the names of burgers they'd like to eat and track the burgers that have been eaten.

Explore the app here: Bottomless Burgers App.
