ParkPass

Description:

ParkPass is a full-stack application that allows a user to search through a database of national parks and save them. When saved, a park will be added to a user’s page and displayed as a card. Users can then check off if they’ve hiked at the selected park.

Brief Example:

You begin your park adventure by clicking the explore button, which will take you to a list of natural parks in the US, you can click a Park from the list and add it to your personal pass, but in order to do this, you need first to sign up, of course in the “sing up button” and then login. Then in your “My Park Pass” can see your parks, and click if you have haiked, and you can also delete a park from your Pass.

Motivation

We hope this site can get people back outside where they can once again explore nature. National parks are vital to the health and ecosystem of many communitites and we hope this site can spread a little love for them.

Installation Instructions

Note: This app was created using Visual Studio Code Version 1.60.1. Fork and clone the repo using either SSH or HTTPS in a directory of your choice.

In terminal:

$ git clone [SSH/HTTPS KEY]

This is a react app and will require that relevant dependencies are downloaded. Move into the repo directory (named seir-project-3)

$ cd ./seir-project-3

and run npm install to download relevant dependencies:

$ npm install

Once dependencies are installed, open the app in your IDE of choice (this example uses Visual Studio Code terminal command). Then start the app with 'npm start':

$ code . 
$ npm start

To view main files, open the src directory. App.js contains the main code for the app and relevant components can be found in the components folder.

Note on API Used

This site used the following API to seed the initial data used in the backend server: https://www.nps.gov/subjects/developer/api-documentation.htm

The list of parks visible in the app were seeded used a router.get function, routing to the '/parks' endpoint of the base url list above. Another router.get allows us to display the parks. In order for users to create (generate) their own wish list of parks (ParkPass) to visit we used a router.post. To update the user's ParkPass we used router.patch and router.put functions. In order to delete parks from the ParkPass we used a router.delete function.
