People Picker

This project was created for the Travelers Engineering Development Program (EDP) as a way for instructors to interactively work with students.

About the Project

This website allows you to pick a random person from the list of the students in this cohort. For privacy, information about these students are fabricated, but students were encouraged to contribute their own photos for the project.

Learning Goals

For this project, students learned how to:

• Create Pull Requests on GitHub
• Create forks for a public GitHub repository
• Follow a GitHub open-source workflow to contribute to the project
• Respond to issues posted by instructors to improve the project

How to Run

Clone the code from this repository. Ensure you have NPM and mongodb installed. Run the following in the root of the project:

cd server
npm install
npm run start

In a separate terminal starting in the root directory, run:

Note that npm install is only necessary the first time as it initializes dependencies.
