Assignment 5 - Databases and/or Components

Due: October 7th, by 11:59 AM.

For this assignment you will complete one of the following tasks, based on your prior experience with the various technologies involved.

1. Rework the server component from Assignment #3 to use MongoDB or some other NoSQL database (like CouchDB). You can remove Passport authentication if you choose, although this might be as much work as simply changing your Passport calls to use MongoDB.
2. Rework the client component from Assignment #3 to use Svelte in some capacity.
3. Rework the client component from Assignmeent #3 to use React in some capacity.

For 2 and 3, make sure to look at the notes from lecture 10.

This is really a chance for you to experiment with some additional web technologies that the prior assignments haven't covered yet: non-flatfile databases and web component frameworks.

This project can be implemented on any hosting service (Glitch, DigitalOcean, Heroku etc.), however, you must include all files in your GitHub repo so that the course staff can view them; these files are not available for viewing in many hosting systems.

Deliverables

Do the following to complete this assignment:

1. Implement your project with the above requirements.
2. Test your project to make sure that when someone goes to your main page on Glitch/Heroku/etc., it displays correctly.
3. Ensure that your project has the proper naming scheme a5-yourname so we can find it.
4. Fork this repository and modify the README to the specifications below. Be sure to add all project files.
5. Create and submit a Pull Request to the original repo. Name the pull request using the following template: a5-gitname-firstname-lastname.

Sample Readme (delete the above when you're ready to submit, and modify the below so with your links and descriptions)

Your Web Application Title

your hosting link e.g. http://a5-charlieroberts.glitch.me

Include a very brief summary of your project here and what you changed / added to assignment #3. Briefly (3–4 sentences) answer the following question: did the new technology improve or hinder the development experience?

Unlike previous assignments, this assignment will be solely graded on whether or not you successfully complete it. Partial credit will be generously given.
