The project started with the analysis of the website requirements based on which a rough design was sketched using Figma. We then created a plan in a shared Google Docs file where we outlined what features we wanted to include, allocated a time frame for each one and logged our progress and remaining tasks.

After the planning and designing step, we worked on the initial HTML, Javascript and Server-side JavaScript by mob programming. This step ensured we had a basic functioning website before we split tasks and worked on specific features individually.

Everytime a new functioning feature was completed, its branch was merged to the Development branch and pushed to the main git repository. At the end all final changes were merged with the master branch.

Server post method

server.post('/posts', (req, res)=>{
    const reqBody = req.body;
    const newPostKey = Object.keys(data).length;
    const newPost = {
        name: reqBody.name,
        post: reqBody.post,
        gif: reqBody.gif,
        emoji: reqBody.emoji,
        comments: []
    }
    data[newPostKey] = newPost;
    const newData = JSON.stringify(data, null, 2);
    fs.writeFileSync('postData.json', newData);

    res.status(201).send(data);
})
