quikPound# - Instagram Clone Project

Phase 1: Login, Create User-specific Posts, Unique Post Pages

Description

  • CRUD web app that allows users to create an account, login, create posts, and navigate to post pages.
  • The profile page shows all the links to the user's posts

Key Takeaways

  • To allow the unique MongoDB ID's to be targeted, use var ObjectId = require('mongodb').ObjectID

  • Alternate Parameters/Queries Syntax for GET (READ):

    PARAMETER (token is what follows ":")

    ```
app.get('/posts/:post_id', function...
var uId = ObjectId(req.params.post_id)
// uId = 5819d9asd83818
)
```
URL: http://localhost:8080/posts/5819d9asd83818

    QUERY (has query strings; more than one is ok using "&")

    ```
app.get('/posts', function...
var uId = ObjectId(req.query.post_id)
// uId = 5819d9asd83818
)
```
URL: http://localhost:8080/posts?id=5819d9asd83818
