# Attendance App
A simple attendance app

## Background & Requirements
My friend, a few days ago, told me to make an attendance app for his class.
Requirements:
- [x] Login for admin(s)
- [x] PWA
- [x] Ability to add users
- [x] Very easy selection of present students
- [x] A bit of statistics/analysis
I knew it was a simple task, so I thought of doing it in a coding sprint. Sort of a mini hackathon.

## Preparation
* I have my heroku account set up
* My DB is set up
* A few projects for reference and copy pasta :smile:
* Lots of thinking

Its 8:30 pm, and I now begin. I have my laptop (with a mouse attached to it), paper and pen and a water bottle with me. (And obviously Google, SO, GitHub, etc to help me out)

Lets see how fast I can copy pasta and build a working system, according to the requirements!
Lets begin!

I think the app is finally completed.
Took me approx 19:00 hours.
Lots more than I had expected, but it was fun!

I will be deploying the app at https://aliabbas-attendance-app.herokuapp.com/ , but it will be password protected, so... :smile:

## Environment Variables
I had set the following environment variables (in nodemon.json):
```
"MONGO_CONNECTION_STRING": "mongoSRVString",
"SECRET": "aRandomString1",
"SECRET_NUMBER": aRandomNumber,
"PORT": 3000,
"COOKIES_SECRET": "aRandomString2",
"DEVELOPER": "someAdminName"
```

## Notes
* Dont delete a student on the last day. Delete it on the next day.
* Add users the first day they attend class. Not before that. Otherwise they will be marked absent
* There is almost no offline capability. You need an internet connection
