A polling app built for the project "Build a Voting App" for the FreeCodeCamp curriculum. You can find the live website here
git clone https://github.com/edward-hong/voting-app.git
or download the zipped file and unzip
User can choose to vote on existing polls or make their own polls. To vote on poll, simply click on one of the existing poll questions and select which option you want to vote for and click the "Submit" button.
To create a poll, first you have to login in. User can login with Facebook, Google or Github. Once logged in, click "Add Poll" in the navigation bar at the top and fill out the form and the click "Submit"
Note you must add at least 2 options to the poll.
After cloning or downloading the repo, type npm run dev in the terminal and
the server and client servers will start. Client server is on port 3000, server
side server is on port 5000. To just run server side server, from root directory
type npm start. To just run client server, from root directory type cd client && npm start
Note that before starting the server the following environment variables should be defined:
| Variable Name | Description |
|---|---|
| MONGO_URI | URL of your MongoDB database |
| GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID | Client ID of your Google+ API credentials |
| GOOGLE_SECRET_KEY | Corresponding secret key to API credentials |
| FACEBOOK_CLIENT_ID | App ID of registered Facebook app |
| FACEBOOK_SECRET_KEY | Corresponding secret key to app |
| GITHUB_CLIENT_ID | Client ID of Github OAuth app |
| GITHUB_SECRET_KEY | Corresponding secret key to OAuth app |
| TWITTER_CLIENT_ID | Client ID of Twitter app |
| TWITTER_SECRET_KEY | Corresponding secret key to the app |
| COOKIE_KEY | Secret cookie key for login session. Can be anything |
Create a file called dev.js in server/config directory. Assign an object
with the environment variables to module.exports. The fields of the object
should be in camel case i.e.
module.exports = {
mongoURI: 'your-mongo-url',
googleClientID: 'your-google-client-id',
googleSecretKey: 'your-google-secret-key',
facebookClientID: 'your-facebook-client-id',
facebookSecretKey: 'your-facebook-secret-key',
githubClientID: 'your-github-client-id',
githubSecretKey: 'your-github-secret-key',
twitterClientID: 'your-twitter-client-id',
twitterSecretKey: 'your-twitter-secret-key'
cookieKey: 'your-cookie-key'
}
You will also need a Redis server running on port 6379.
