Overall Structure

Front End

We used React and JavaScript on the front end. Using React hooks let us utilize state and context to keep our app from having to refresh.

Back End

We used Python's Flask framework on our back end. We used the following endpoints to make our app RESTful

1. Main:

   • GET / - All posts from accounts user follows

2. Blueprint: 'users', url_prefix = "/api/users"

   • GET /:id - Get all user info
   • POST / - Create new user
   • PUT /:id - Edit user info
   • DELETE /:id - Delete user

3. Blueprint: 'posts', url_prefix = "/api/posts"

   • GET /:id - Get one post
   • POST / - Create a new post
   • PUT /:id - Edit a post
   • DELETE /:id - Delete a post

4. Blueprint: 'comments', url_prefix = "/api/comments"

   • GET /:id - Get all comments for post at id
   • POST /:id - Comment on a post at id
   • DELETE /:id/:id2 - Delete comment(id2) from post at id

5. Blueprint: 'likes', url_prefix = "/api/likes"

   • GET /:id - Get all likes for post at id
   • POST /:id - Like a post at id

Primary Components

User Authorization

We used Flask-Login on our back end to keep track of our user authorization. On the front end, we used protected routes to re-route to the log-in/ sign-up page.

Profile Page

Keeping track of our users and state we were able to render a users profile with all of their posts.
