## :books: General info
* A simplified Twitter clone using simple front and backends. Dependencies updated aug 2020.
## :camera: Screenshots
.
## :signal_strength: Technologies
* [Node.js v12](https://nodejs.org/en/)
* [npm javascript filter used on title and content user inputs](https://www.npmjs.com/package/bad-words)
* [npm Express rate limiting](https://www.npmjs.com/package/express-rate-limit) using Node internal store (i.e.not an external database).
* [npm monk toolkit for mongodb](https://nodejs.org/en/)
## :floppy_disk: Setup
* Backend: From the `/server` directory run `npm run dev` for a dev server. Navigate to `http://localhost:5000/`. The app uses Nodemon and will automatically reload if you change any of the source files. Navigate to `http://localhost:5000/tweets` to see tweets in JSON.
* Frontend: open `/client/index.html` in browser. Enter a tweet and click 'Send Your Tweet' button. Tweet will be displayed below.
## :computer: Code Examples
* `server/index.js` - function to post tweet data from html frontend req.body parameters; filtering text then adding to tweets array.
```javascript
app.post('/tweets', (req, res, next) => {
if(isValidTweet(req.body)) {
const tweet = {
name: filter.clean(req.body.name.toString()),
content: filter.clean(req.body.content.toString()),
created: new Date()
};
tweets
.prepend(tweet)
.then(createdTweet => {
res.json(createdTweet);
});
} else {
res.status(422);
res.json({
message: 'Helooo, name and message are required'
});
}
});
```
## :cool: Features
* A simple app with vanilla javascript. No js framework used.
## :clipboard: Status & To-Do List
* Status: basic working app that saves tweets locally.
* To-Do: Correct code so latest tweet listed first (`reverse()` function not working). Remove duplication of tweets. Add connection to mongodb database.
