The portfolio site for my freelance business was previously running on a custom PHP/MySQL backend. In this repo, I've updated it to a NodeJS app using the following technologies:
You can currently view the updated site on Heroku. It is soon to be deployed to its namesake URL.
The following snippet shows the request route that pulls the portfolio projects from the database depending on the value of url parameter :cat.
app.get('/portfolio/:cat', (req, res) => {
db.Project.findAll({
where: {
category: req.params.cat
},
order: [['order','ASC']]
})
.then(appProjects => {
formatProjects(appProjects, function(projects) {
fetchAndFormatServices(function(services) {
var data = {
projects: projects,
services: services
}
res.render('portfolio', data);
});
});
});
});This code snippet shows the configuration and use of nodemailer.
const email = nodemailer.createTransport(emailCreds);
email.verify((err, success) => {
if (err) return console.log(err);
return console.log("Email config is successful");
});
module.exports = function(app) {
app.post('/api/email', (req,res) => {
var emailBody = `<html><body><p style='font-size:20px'><strong>${req.body.name}</strong> says:</p><p style='font-size:15px'>${req.body.message}</p><br><br><p>Email: ${req.body.email}</p><p>Phone: ${req.body.phone}</p><p>Site: ${req.body.website}</p></body></html>`
var emailDeets = {
from: `"${req.body.name}" <${req.body.email}>`,
to: req.body.to,
subject: "Message from DigitalRainstorm.com",
html: emailBody
}
email.sendMail(emailDeets)
.then(success => {
res.status(200).end();
})
.catch(error => {
res.status(400).end();
});
});
}Thanks to Jerome, Mahisha, and Kerwin for the challenge! Special thanks to Kerwin for the tips on running this Node app on my web hosting. (Stay tuned!)
