A matching tool to help you find like-minded friends
Looking for friends? Answer 10 simple questions and find people who have similar answers. You'll find new friends in no time. Access this site at: https://protected-forest-73370.herokuapp.com/.
This is a full stack deployed website that matches the user up with a previous "friend" that has similar answers to 10 questions that ask the user to rank statements on a scale of 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 5 (Strongly Agree).
The home page, which is the default path, has one button to access the survey. There is also a link that will display the API information for all existing "friends" in JSON.
The survey page has 10 questions. If the user tries to submit without entering a name or a link to their photo, they will get an error.
Once all questions are answered, a modal will pop-up showing the most compatible friend.
If you visit the API link after submitting a survey, the new "friend" will be shown at the bottom.
- This application uses express to create a server that drives the content rendered to the page.
- Express is also used to create an API for loading content and posting information from a new user.
- There are two HTML pages and one page that displays the API content in JSON.
