SO THAT I can connect with skilled professionals who can help me complete these projects successfully.GIVEN I am a registered user.

WHEN I view my Dashboard,.
THEN I should see my name, contact information, and a list of job listings I've posted or applied to.This application is a website that contractors can use to post and apply for construction jobs based on qualifications, needs, and disciplines. We created this application to make it fast and easy for contractors to get the help they need to complete their job. Users will be able to post, delete, and edit job listings, view recent listings, apply for listings, and search job listings. Challenges we faced were creating the databases, making the website interactive, pushing and merging branches without conflicts, and putting to use the knowledge of front-end and back-end coding.
The tech we used to create this application are:
- Bcrypt
- Connect session sequelize
- Dotenv
- Express.js
- Express session
- Handlebars
- Heroku (for deployment)
- JavaScript
- JSON
- MySql
- Node.js
- Nodemailer
- Sequelize
Users should be able to make or create an account on Build-Link which will then give them access to create or apply of job listings. To view the backend, you can clone the repo down to you local machine and run npm install to install the necessary dependencies and packages to run the application. Visit the live site here.
The four people that created this application were Juan Grillo Morales, Sian Khai, Kyndall Carothers, and Sarah Lepine. Through collaborated effort, they created the Build-Link website. Work was devided as follows:
Work breakdown: Backend files (config, controllers, db, models, seeds, utils) - Sarah and Juan Frontend files (public, views) - Kyndall and Sian
However, the group worked on all parts of the project multiple times throughout the course of the assignment.
