Technology Overview
For the frontend UI of this project, I used React (via the npx create-react-app command) and Bootstrap for handling CSS.
For the backend stack, I used the following:
- Express.JS, for the main server framework
- MongoDB, for handing database operations and providing data
- Auth0, for handling API authentication tasks
Web Hosting
Currently, the react app is hosted on Vercel, however, the backend express server is currently offline, due to Heroku shutting down
API Testing and Documentation
The Listings Finder API was built on REST principles, since I found using that for the API was easier and quicker to get working then using a GraphQL client and being concerned with MongoDB data compatibility.
