Connect Homepage to backend api/v1/posts endpoint #66

Open christopher-alba opened 2 years ago

christopher-alba commented 2 years ago

Currently the backend and frontend are unconnected

It would be great to connect homepage to the posts endpoint to fetch all of the real posts then order them from highest net votes to lowest net votes for the popular posts section.

The full Heroku GET endpoint you need to be hitting is https://uni-forum.herokuapp.com/api/v1/posts

Pre-requisites:

completion of the posts endpoint in the backend (it currently returns a fixed string)
completion of seeding the mongoDB Atlas database automatically through a script which will create all of the posts you need to fetch

How to get started:

use the axios "api" instance inside the api folder to make the api calls to the backend
