An application for the purpose of event planning and coordination for a small group, such as a General Assembly cohort. Users are able to post events, RSVP, and see who is attending those events.

Back-end Repository

  • Entity Relationship Diagram: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xMWPn0lqkRRFwocyPiOQSORsKJ5P5BaE/view

  • Schema:

    • User exists as standard user with no modifications.
    • The 'Hangouts' resource requires a title, description, date, and location, all strings, as well as an 'Owner', referencing the user.
    • The 'Attendances' resource requires a boolean value named 'Going' for whether or not the participant is attending, as well as referecing an 'Owner', a user, and a 'Hangout', a hangout.
    Resource Route Action
    Hangout /hangouts Get (index)
    Hangout /hangouts Create
    Hangout /hangouts/:id Update

Wireframes

Team gathered together to share idea concerning the theme of the hangouts page. Once the GA SEI 04 cohort theme was decided, the back-end lead proposed a schema for the "hangout resource." Front-end lead drew up wireframes for the project and the group noted stretch goals that were desired.

User Stories:

  • As an unregistered user, I would like to sign up with email and password.
  • As an unregistered user, I would like to see all events.
  • As a registered user, I would like to sign in with email and password.
  • As a signed in user, I would like to RSVP to an event.
  • As a signed in user, I would like to create my own event.
  • As a signed in user, I would like to update my own events.
  • As a signed in user, I would like to delete my own events.
  • As a signed in user, I would like to change password.
  • As a signed in user, I would like to sign out.

Development Process and Problem Solving

  • Wireframes, the relationship model, and project goals were discussed and agreed upon as a team at the start of the project.
  • Roles and codebase ownership was agreed upon early in the process, along with how design conflicts would be handled.
  • Twice daily stand ups were held to review task assignments.
  • Each day started with a planning session and ended with a brief retro.
  • Pair programming was utilized to build the backend api using Express and MongoDB.
  • Pair programming was used to create the more complex logic on the front-end.
  • Less complex items were broken down into tickets, which were assigned during planning and as needed.
  • Merge conflicts and complex PRs were reviewed as a team.

Difficulties Faced

  • Multiple people working on the same file at the same time.
  • Managing different stretch goals and priorities between developers.
  • A few merge conflicts.
  • Challenges with the logic for checking attendance (for attendees list).
  • Data formatting forced by Mongoose based on data type.
  • A local host server not cooperating with WSL.
  • Logic to populate the correct buttons based on user authentication and resource ownership.

Goals for Future Versions and Unsolved Issues

Goals

  • Sort by event date
  • Picture for each event
  • Confirmation required in order to delete an event
  • Comment capability
  • User profile pictures
  • List of individuals who have marked "not going"
  • Conversion of app into template that future cohorts can download, modify, and host with their own information

Unsolved Issues

  • Popover window formatting and styling.
  • New event and registration menu styling.
  • Transitions and breakpoints on mobile
