This is a IIT Bazaar portal where you can sell second hand products.

Hosted on

https://campusbid.herokuapp.com/

Overview

1. A NodeJs background with express middleware
2. Uses passport-local of Passport.js for authentication
3. Uses ejs for templating on the frontend.
4. Uses Mongodb Atlas for database
5. bcryptjs: For encrypting password to store in database
6. connect-flash, express-session: Flash messages are stored in a session and can be displayed to the user in some other in some other page.

Features

1. Registration - For new users and
2. Login - For existing users
3. User Dashboard: User can delete the products uploaded by him
4. Admin Dashboard: If you are logged in as admin you can delete any product in the dashboard
5. Search bar & category links - They can be used to easily search the product, I also used metaphone function for better and more accurate search Example You can search for Electrodinamics, Elictrodinamics, Elictrodinamiks and they all give the result that contained Electrodynamics. Currently the search is perfect for single word search because for multiword search it searches in order which is not very good.
6. Sell - Link to sell your products. However, if you are not logged in you will be redirected to login page
7. Comments You can comment on any product if you are logged in
