Connexion

Social media has done so much to bring people together, but it is missing an integral part that allows people to make meaningful, genuine connections. According to Myers Briggs, personality compatability is what lays the foundation for meaninful relationships. Connexion is a social media platform, in it's infancy, that matches users based on their personality type and ranks them by the hobbies they have in common. Unlike traditional social media platforms, users can only see other users that they have matched with. This does away with the issue of "friend collecting".

About The Project

Connexion is a social media platform in it's infancy. Connexion matches users based on the Myers Briggs personality compatability model and ranks tham by common hobbies/interest. A user can only see and interact with users that they have matched with, doing away with the issue of "friend collecting" that we so often see on today's popular social media platforms. Connexion's aim is to give users the ability to make new and meaningful connections with people similar to themselves.

Getting Started

This is an example of how you may give instructions on setting up your project locally. To get a local copy up and running follow these simple example steps.

Setup

1. Use an Amazon AWS account.
2. Install AWS CLI. Documentation
3. Install AWS SAM CLI. Documentation
4. Install NodeJS to run the npm commands below.

• For Windows / WSL users:

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_18.x | sudo -E bash - &&\
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

• For Mac users:

brew install node

5. Install Docker
   
   Linux
   Mac
   Windows
   

Backend Setup via Lambda Service

1. Build the Java code: sam build
2. Create an S3 bucket: aws s3 mb s3://YOUR_BUCKET
3. Deploy the SAM template: sam deploy --s3-bucket BUCKET_FROM_ABOVE --parameter-overrides S3Bucket=BUCKET_FROM_ABOVE FrontendDeployment=local

   NOTE: Yes you have to provide the same S3 bucket name twice. Yes this is annoying.

4. Run the local API: sam local start-api --warm-containers LAZY

Frontend Setup

1. CD into the web directory: cd web
