Tech Stack

[itsjasonlee]

Learn about which tech stack you would like to use before our next meeting. Next Monday at 5:10pm

Here are some suggestions to look into:

• Mongo, Express, Angular, Node : https://coursetro.com/posts/code/84/Setting-up-an-Angular-4-MEAN-Stack-(Tutorial)

• Mongo, Express, React, Node : https://alligator.io/react/mern-stack-intro/

• Symfony (PHP), MySQL : https://github.com/ninsuo/symfony-quickstart

• Spring MVC (this is our old tech stack) : old codebase, spring

Current - react, node, next.js (goes on top of react/node to make things easier)

express/mongo could be added into existing code easily - essentially you would override next.js routing, takes maybe 15 lines of new code (we couldn't use static hosting but that's a tradeoff of server logic)

If you ever want to do accounts/auth, I'd recommend auth0, which can be used standalone or with passport - whichever works for you

Will add Mongo / Express into current stack. Incremental changes to website will be made.

Next task: See what changes need to be done to the website. One person will take lead on making the changes

Example of adding express into next.js/react/node

Mongo (I recommend mongoose in particular) is done as normal
