Buy and sell images in this simple image repository demo. This project uses typescript, mongodb, bootstrap, and express.js

You will need:

• MongoDB
• npm
• Some images

$ git clone https://github.com/winterNebs/img-repo.git 
$ cd img-repo
$ npm i

mongod --dbpath /your/path/here

img-repo uses a .env file in the root directory of the project with the following format:

PORT=8080
ROOT=img
DB=mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/img
SECRET=Your_secret_here

Feel free to change any of the defaults as you need

• Create your images folder. The one we will use is /img as defined in .env above.
• Put your images in there.

• Edit index.ts and uncomment the lines to populate the database
• Feel free to change the default usernames/passwords
• Make sure to change the images to reflect the images you provided

Build

$ npm run build

Start

$ npm run start

Build then Start

$ npm run bs

If instead of a demo, this was supposed to be a real project, here are the next steps I would take:

• Routing in Models would go in separate files
• Register Page
  • Add form to index.pug
  • Create register endpoint that creates a user and calls UserModels.register
• Other account related features
  • Rate limiting (ask me about ASC)
  • Reset tokens/email recovery (ASC)
  • A way to upload images
    • Create upload endpoint, similar to buy/sell, that also takes a file
• Use db session (ie connect-mongodb-session) instead of memory store
