A basic Forum app
Summary:
This project is a basic web application built using Node.js and Express.js. It allows users to create, view, edit, and delete posts on a forum. The application uses EJS (Embedded JavaScript) for rendering views and Bootstrap for styling.
Functionality:
Users can create new posts, view all existing posts, edit existing posts, and delete posts as needed. The application consists of several routes: GET '/' renders the homepage, displaying all existing posts. GET '/create_post' renders the page for creating a new post. POST '/create_post' handles the creation of a new post. GET '/edit_post/:id' renders the page for editing an existing post. POST '/edit_post/:id' handles the editing of an existing post. GET '/delete_post/:id' handles the deletion of an existing post. Each page utilizes EJS templates for dynamic content rendering. Components:
