Description

Represent Me: an all encompassing app where users can find information on their local government. Read up on information about your locally elected officials, contact them when you don’t agree with their policies and get dates for upcoming elections. This app is less about the actual act of voting (although we want you to do that!) and more about ensuring everyone has free and equal access to information to make informed decisions about who they want to be in office.

Application in Action

Table of Contents

Installation

Pull from this repository. Check dependencies and make sure to run npm i for all necessary- you will need:

  • axios
  • bcryptjs
  • body-parser
  • email-validator
  • express
  • express-session
  • if-env
  • mongoose
  • passport
  • passport-local

Usage

Please pay attention to the .env.sample file. You will need to create your own .env file with the same parameters and your OWN credentials to use this app.

Navigate to the correct folder in your command line. Once there, enter "npm start" in the command line to get the app started.

The server should automatically start and take you to localhost:3000. If not, enter "localhost:3000" into your web browser to view the app.
