Project Overview

Book Review site made using Node JS, MongoDB, Express, and Pug

The Goal

Take what I have learned from Wes Bos's Node JS course and created my own node js app.

What a User should be able to do

  • Sign up, Log in, all that jazz
  • Post a book review
    • Review contains Book title and review content and rating
  • Comment on other users book reviews
  • Comment on a comment (It'll never end)
  • Search by Book to find reviews for that book
  • Different queries for all time rated books, this months hot reviews, and worst rated books

Potential Problems

MongoDB querying is weird and I forsee that being the biggest challange ahead.

Result

I understand express, mongoose, mongodb, and promises much better. However, I didn't complete all the features I wanted to make. Such as:

  • book querys- "this months hot reviews"
  • comments

But everything else is done. I may come back to improve the UI or add more features but I think I'm ready to move onto a more intereseting project.
