Introduction

Eat-Da-Burger is a simple application that allows users to add burger entries and sort them into two categories: To Devour and Devoured. Users can also remove burgers from either category.

Technologies

• Frontend - Handlebars.js / JQuery
• Routing - Express.js
• Backend / Server - Node.js
• Database - MySQL / Sequelize ORM

Learning Objectives

• Use all known CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) in the same program to create a new burger, get previously created burgers from the SQL database, update burger status from To Devour to Devoured, and delete entries
• Use jQuery AJAX to structure data fed to backend with appropriate method and route handling
• Study associations between GET, POST, PUT, DELETE methods via frontend AJAX requests and their corresponding Sequelize findAll, create, update and destroy in backend handling.
• Gain comfort with sequelize-cli npm package in order to initialize /models and /config folders and improve workflow.
• Develop MVC structured application
• Practiced deploying application to Heroku and establishing remote JAWS DB
