Adonis

AdonisJs is a true MVC Framework for Node.js

Adonis provides the backend used for Tweddit. Its primary purpose is to respond to various API calls used within the single page application built in ReactJS.

I use a MySQL database and Adonis's active record ORM (lucid) to interact with the data.

ReactJS

React is a declarative, efficient, and flexible JavaScript library for building user interfaces.

ReactJS gets used on the client side for Tweddit. I used Redux to manage the application's state (containers). I trigger several different API requests that fetch data from the server and provides state to numerous "dumb" components.

Getting Started

You may optionally use the provided dockerfile I created to fire up the application quickly.

1. Setup a MySQL database
2. Create a .env file and edit the variables to use your database
3. Migrate the database using ./ace migration:run
4. Fire up the application yarn run serve:dev
