MovieNITE Final Project

Movie suggestion app where users can provide their favorite movies and ChatGPT suggests a movie that everyone can enjoy. MovieNite is here to help you ease the process of decision-making with the help of Chat GPT. This project was a collaborative work from Levent and Neriman, and presented as the group's final project at the end of Lighthouse Labs Web Development Bootcamp in December 2023.

Project Structure

MovieNite has been built with React, Node.js, Express, and PostgreSQL in addition to MUI, HTML, CSS, and Chat GPT API. We implemented Json Web Token (JWT) for extra security and sending token from the front end to the back end to check if the users are already registered as well as to create a unique link to collect movie preferences and voted movie results from users via email that is generated with Nodemailer. We checked our backend routes and their functionalities with Postman to make sure everything worked as intended on the backend. We constructed 24 error cases and showed a couple of them in the app walkthrough. We built this app within the 3 weeks and we are working on adding more features.
