I will be building a stand-alone back end which will interact with a static front end. Working with a new partner each day, I will request data from various third-party APIs, modify the data as needed, and send the data to the client to be displayed in the browser. In the later stages of this week's project I will be persisting data in a SQL database.
Each day of this project I and my pair-programming partner will deploy this back end app as a new instance on Heroku.
I will be hooking up the back-end app to the front-end code base for the client, but I will not be modifying the client-side code in any way.
For this project I will be using the following technologies:
- Languages: JavaScript, SQL
- Libraries and frameworks: jQuery, Handlebars.js, Node.js, Express,
- Database: PostgreSQL
- Deployment platform: Heroku
- APIs: Google Geocoding, Yelp, Dark Sky, The Movie DB
02-19-2019 9:00am - Created Heroku app in repo for the app. No content to deploy yet. Pushed to Heroku and verified that instance is successfully running. Renamed Heroku app to lab-06-city-explorer. Need to have deployable app before heroku open will work.
02-19-2019 10:40am - Filled out initial server variables and helper functions. Tested that server works.
This project was done in collaboration with Elizabeth Kavalski, Andrew Curtis, and Vanessa Wei (Wei9023).
