General Information
This project is the culmination of months of 🚀 hard work 🚀 growing our skills within the Galvanize course. We came together as a team to rework an existing project from a previous cohort in order to meet the demands of a client.
- 👨🏻✈️ 📝 Project Manager: Chris Stewart (pri), Rane Gray (alt)
- 👨🏻🎨 🖼️ UI Manager: Rane Gray (pri), Daniel Purdy (alt)
- 👷🏻♂️ 🏗️ Architecture Manager: Joe Goralczyk (pri), Jordan Carlson (alt)
Working together as an Agile group, we worked hard to redesign this application visually and functionally per our client's needs. We refactored authentication to add protected routes and JSON Web Tokens (JWT) along with hashed password storage, a dashboard with an interactive table element that allows for tracking prospective stuents, and an interview page that implements a usable coding space to collaborate between admissions personnel and students.
- Components each member worked on.
- Chris - testing, authentication
- Rane - UI redesign, authentication
- Jordan - refactor code editor, refactoring alert messages
- Joe - Authentication-login routing, testing, minor fixes
- Daniel - Interview space design

Developer Setup
NOTE We are using Dockerized environment only in a developer build. When we were ready to deploy it, we didn't use Docker. Refer to the Deployment Setup section when ready to deploy. The API is deployed to Railway, and then railway points to vercel.
- Fork and clone this repository
- From the root directory of the cloned repository
- npm install
- npm install --prefix api
- npm install --prefix client
- docker compose up --build

Deployment Setup
When we were ready to Deploy, we stopped using the docker compose file because the services we chose didn't support it. Instead, we seperated the API, Database, and Front-end.
Vercel: Front-end Railway: API, Database, SocketIO

Current Status
Room For Improvement
- Ideas:
- A "student-facing" side of the application for students to manage their status
- Adding photos to users and students' profiles.
- Having a data visualization of the number of students who pass/fail the interview, maybe some other metrics for Galvanize to capture.
