Developing

To run this application locally, you'll need to:

• Get a free API Key at The Movie Database

• Clone the repo

  git clone https://github.com/GaronSmith/marvelous-movies

• cd into the local repo

   cd marvelous-movies

• Install NPM packages

  npm install

• Create a .env file based on the .env.example file included in the repo with your own values

• Create a user on your local machine with the username and password specified in your .env file in PostgreSQL

• Create the database

    npx dotenv sequelize db:create

• If the sequelize module is not found, try running npx dotenv sequelize-cli db:create and replace sequelize with sequelize-cli for the rest of these commands

• Run the migrations

  npx dotenv sequelize db:migrate
  

• Seed the database

  npx dotenv sequelize db:seed:all
  

• Finally, start the development server with npm start. The scripts in the package.json should do the work. You'll see the local address you can use show up in the terminal.

Code snippets of some of our features

feed/content route to retrieve the recent shelf updates of users that you follow

router.get('/content', asyncHandler(async (req, res, next) => {
    let user = await db.User.findByPk(req.session.auth.userId,{
        include:{
            model: db.User,
            as: 'Followers',
            include:{

        }
    })
 
    let arrayUpdates = new Array();
   
    arrayUpdates.sort((a,b) => new Date(a.updatedAt) - new Date(b.updatedAt) )
    
    user.Followers.forEach(item => {
        item.BlockbusterShelves.forEach(statusUpdate => {
            statusUpdate.setDataValue('userName', item.firstName)
            arrayUpdates = arrayUpdates.concat(statusUpdate)
        })
    })
    arrayUpdates.sort((a, b) => new Date(b.updatedAt) - new Date(a.updatedAt))
