Student Portal

Introduction

This is a basic student portal where authorized users can view student data, update it, and add new students.

Technologies Used

Frontend: EJS
Backend: Node.js, MySQL, Redis

File Structure

app.js: Specifies the port the app is using.
loader.js: Loads necessary files and sets global restrictions on the app (e.g., URL encoding).
router.js: Defines routes, middleware, and controllers.
services/: Contains files for database and Redis services.
middleware/: Houses functions for authentication and sending responses.
controllers/: Contains logic for APIs using services.
config/: Holds configuration files, such as database configuration.
models/: Defines database models, like the student model.
test/: Contains unit tests for APIs using Jest.
utilities/: Includes files for database connection, response validation, and session handling.
views/: Contains EJS templates for the frontend.

Environment

If ENV is set to test, the application will only send API responses without authentication.
If ENV is set to production, the application will perform authentication and render the frontend using EJS with the help of API responses.

How to Start

Ensure MySQL and Redis services are running.
Run npm install.
Change the environment to production in the .env file to render the frontend.
Run npm start.
The application will run on port 3000.
