Santa's Secret

A secret santa generator!

Week 8 project (Charlie, Hannah, Lucy, Oliver)

Installation

• Clone repository
• Run npm install
• Create config.env file and ask us for our DB URL (currently using one hosted on Heroku - we know, local databases would be better though! 🤦‍♂️)
• Run npm run test_db to see our DB tests
• Run npm run start or npm run dev to roll our server
• Head to localhost:2512

Tuesday:

• Planning/Whiteboarding:
• Wanted the sports car, lots of discussion, we opted for the skateboard!

(Wanted multiple user authentication, inc. an organisation table in our db) (Would ideally have completely annonymous results via login)

Instead our first draft is going to be for an admin/organiser, who inputs all the names, and sees all the results/who's allocated to who.

Wednesday:
