- I am using a 24hr timestamp
- You can check-in and checkout at any time,
- Because I am in development mode. I made it such that you can check-in again in the next 5 seconds after the previous checkin (Ideally this should be set to 24hrs. depending on the how the work place is run. It could be a day job, or a job with morning and night shifts. the code can suit any purpose with a bit of modification)
- If an employee does not checkout for a certain day . the number of work hours is not computed for that day and it will not be added to the total number of work hours of that employee.
- Ability for the employees to search for their names
- Some administrative work route. for the manager
- Data visualizations using d3.js (bar, charts, heat maps, nodes) etc. d3.js remains the best in-browser data visualization library.
- Node.js
- Mongo (You can follow this guide to get mongo with docker https://gist.github.com/jrichardsz/3f5ab6cffb2a4393fda331315469ad83)
-
start a mongo database process
-
expose environment variables
export DATABASE=localhost
export port=9000
export SECRET=1e1df736
- install libraries
npm install
- start in dev mode
npm run dev
- You must see this log:
Server is up and running
Connection to database was succesful
Other logs could be indicate an error.
Point your browser at http://localhost:9000 and you will be see something like:
