- Randomly generates quizzes for users to attempt and saves their scores.
- ReactJS front end for intuitive UI.
- Redux & Thunk for centralized state control.
- Ruby on Rails back end with PostgreSQL database for managing user data.
- BCrypt and JWT using Elliptic-Curve Cryptography for auth
In order for the app to have full functionality, the back-end server should be running already. (Details in the repo listed above.)
All that is required for the frontend is an installation of NodeJS (8.1+) and a package manager such as NPM (5.2+) or Yarn.
From the base bees-frontend directory in your shell of choice, run a simple npm install, followed by yarn start (there may be port conflict with Rails if the backend is already running, in which case you can just say Yes at the alert screen to pick the next port option.)
The app should now be running in your browser at localhost:3001 or whichever port it tells you! Have fun!
