Instructions

Tumblr is an ultra-popular micro-blogging website.

A micro-blog is: a social media site to which a user makes short, frequent posts.

This is easier shown than described, so check out this tumblr filled with funny dog memes.

Iteration 1 | User Profile Picture

We have already provided you with the user model, as well as fully functional authentication logic. However, one thing is missing. The user doesn't have a profile picture. Add a new property to the user model, and fix user registration so that it allows the user to upload a profile picture.

Iteration 2 | Posts

In this iteration, create the bread and butter of the IronTumblr - the posts.

First, create a Post model. A post should have the following attributes:

• content - the text belonging to the post
• creatorId - ObjectId of the post's creator (the user who created a post)
• picPath - where the picture is stored
• picName - the picture's name

For this iteration, besides the model, you have to create:

• the GET route to display the post-form,
• the POST route to actually create the post (this route should include file uploading),
• the GET route to display the posts and
• the GET route to display post-details.

A user should be logged in to create a post, but not to view it. (Check the isLoggedIn.js file in the middlewares folder.)

The posts will be the home page, and simply display all of the posts on the website.

Bonus: Iteration 3 | Comments

Posts should have comments attached to them. Create the Comment model as a sub-document of the Post. A comment can have images attached to it, but not all do, so it is not required.

The Comment model should have the following attributes:

• content
• authorId
• imagePath
• imageName

You should create routes to create new comments. Comments should be displayed on the details page of a single post.

Bonus: Iteration 4 | Deployment

The last step in IronTumblr should be to deploy the app to Heroku. Don't forget to deploy your database on MongoLab/Mongo Atlas.

Your site should be live and functioning with a working public URL.

Happy coding! ❤️
