Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

Prerequisites

Environment variables:

TIME_API_KEY from https://timezonedb.com/api
SENDGRID_API_KEY from https://sendgrid.com
ALL_USER_DATA_API_ROUTE_PASSWORD This password should match with the REST api password.

Installing

Run npm i or npm install in the terminal.

{
  "name": "event-reminder-server",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "app.js",
  "dependencies": {
    "@sendgrid/mail": "^6.3.1",
    "axios": "^0.18.0",
    "dotenv": "^6.2.0",
    "express": "^4.16.4"
  }

Wait for the dependencies to install. Then run node app.js in the root directory to get the app running. After running the server you will see Node server running at PORT.

More Details

Checking all users for a match.

This server basically iterates through all users registered on the web app and fetches their current date/time dynamically according to their timezone. When there is a match it executes a .send request using msg object on sendGridApi containing information about the event. All events contain an object named sent[default: false]. After the event is sent with a returning status code 200, the current event sent object now contains an updated sent: true object. Now if you have successfully configured the API and added environment variables, then there is at least one event added waiting to be executed.

Fixes

At first, it was intended for my personal use only, hence nothing was done about handling user data -> commit : 38538addf0a4a464673a4c534ae431d12d91f017. But then i decided to make it user-oriented. Hence -> commit : 38538addf0a4a464673a4c534ae431d12d91f017. Using Async/Await. Possibly better structure with try catch but sticking with promises for now.
