EventGenius is an event management system that allows users to create events, or join events created by other users. This could be anything such as concerts, parties, or even a simple get together.

  • Development and testing
    • Prerequisites
    • Running the application

This project is built with the MVC pattern using the following technologies:

Backend:

• Node.js
• Express
• TypeScript
• TypeORM

Frontend:

• ejs
• Bootstrap

Database:

• PostgreSQL
• Node.js

• Docker
• Docker Compose

First, you need some environment variables that the program needs in order to function. Create a file called .env with the following content:

DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/postgres

MAIL_HOST=
MAIL_USER=
MAIL_PASS=
MAIL_PORT=
MAIL_FROM=

SITE_URL=http://localhost:3000

You should fill out the SMTP information so that the program knows how to send emails.

To run the application, simply run the following command:

docker-compose up

This will build, and start the application as well as the database.
