fcc-voting-app

This is one of fullstack projects in Take Home Projects section on freeCodeCamp written in TypeScript.

User stories:

1. As an authenticated user, I can keep my polls and come back later to access them.
2. As an authenticated user, I can share my polls with my friends.
3. As an authenticated user, I can see the aggregate results of my polls.
4. As an authenticated user, I can delete polls that I decide I don't want anymore.
5. As an authenticated user, I can create a poll with any number of possible items.
6. As an unauthenticated or authenticated user, I can see and vote on everyone's polls.
7. As an unauthenticated or authenticated user, I can see the results of polls in chart form.
8. As an authenticated user, if I don't like the options on a poll, I can create a new option.

How to build and run

First of all install all deps:

yarn install

This will also build client side of the application.

Server part of the app requires some env variables. For development build they can be placed in server/.env and then provided to the server side of the app with yarn env like this:

yarn env node dist/

The following command can help to get some idea about what these variables are and how to name them:

git grep -A3 -B3 process.env

Once the environment is set up the easiest way to start is to run tmux script from the client dir:

cd client && bash start_tmux_session.sh

but this requires system-wide tmux installation.

To start without tmux:

• in case of dev env simply run yarn start in both client and server dirs
• in case of prod env build client side with yarn build and run server side with

NODE_ENV='production' yarn env yarn start
