Banner Timing Previewer

Requirements

The Javascript used for animating the banner must be contained in an object variable. For example:

var creative = {
    timing: {
        fadeIn: ...,
        fadeOut: ...,
        etc...
    },
    initialize: function(){...},
    animate: function(){...},
    etc..
};

Setup Instructions

Back-end

Create or setup a database to use. I was using xampp's MySQL. Update the database config in server/config/Database.php with your database information.
Create a 'banners' table in your database. Alternatively name the table anything, but update the model in server/models/Banner.php to reflect your table names.
- The Banner table should have an ID field set to autoincrement and a route column.

Front-end

In client/src/app/services verify that both the banner and file-uploader services are using the correct localhost port for your setup. Mine is configured for port 8080.

Startup

Ensure your MySQL database is up and running and you have a backend server up and running. If using xampp, this is just starting Apache and MySQL.
Navigate to the client folder in a different terminal and run ng serve to begin running your dev server on port 4200.

Attempt to Store File Throws Error

When uploading a file, an error is thrown stating "Object of class StdClass could not be converted to a string in BannerObject.php on liine 31".

This is where we store the file sent from the front end to the BannerObject instance's file property. This is almost definitely an issue of just getting the right data type but I'm still tracking down whether I need to manipulate it before sending the POST request from Angular or after it's received in the PHP backend.
