ExpressJS server structure

[gbowne1]

We can discuss ExpressJS server structure here

The user schema only have 4 field(_id, name, email, passwor)?

[jzunigarce]

I propose that we start with these fields, since we are working with mongodb we are not anchored to a schema. Could we add these fields on the registration page?

[gbowne1]

yeah. Fine with me. I think that would make the most sense initially. We can decide on what to do as we move forwards.

[gbowne1]

I can dropbox the contents of the old project if you like if there is anything you would like to see.

[jzunigarce]

Another question, will the requests from the client to the server (send and receive data) be asynchronous?

[gbowne1]

yes. I couldn't think of any other method that might work. We will just have to test and see.

[gbowne1]

I did not have much luck with the login page with any of the functions. It didnt seem to redirect to dashboard once auth etc. Console wasnt much help either.

I need to add a model for the QSL card db page...

const mongoose = require("mongoose");
const { Schema } = mongoose;

const QslCardSchema = new Schema({
callsign: {
type: String,
required: true
},
contactDate: {
type: Date,
required: true
},
contactTime: {
type: String,
required: true
},
frequency: {
type: Number,
required: true
},
mode: {
type: String,
required: true
},
signalReport: {
type: String,
required: true
},
comments: {
type: String,
required: false
}
});

module.exports = mongoose.model("QslCard", QslCardSchema);

[jzunigarce]

They should be. I changed most of the href in the dashboard to the correct page links.

But the other pages have error with link

[gbowne1]

Which ones? I left a couple of them not finished. The lsst 2 cards I sm not sure yet whst to use them for.

[gbowne1]

yeah, that's because there is a manifest. that's needed for good SEO. I dont know about the cors. probably a bad SHA on this particular page. (At some point we should be using downloaded assets from bootstrap, popperjs, fontawesome/fortawesome and hopefully sooner than later.) Usually its better to CDN for dev and download / build assets for prod.. unless the CDN is quick. cloudflare is usually responsive.

There are also no icons with those filenames. Need to modify the names. I put the icons in the icons folder in the client.
