Lets Get Tacos at its core, is a Modern Web App, that aims to bring taco lovers from all over the world the ability to meet with other people of same interests (in tacos of course)!
Using the official Yelp API alongside the extensive Google Maps API, users can create events at REAL taco places. In addition, we made logging in easy with Firebase's Authorization! The hassle of signing up for random services is a thing of the past!
Tech Stack
For the Front End of the project, my group and I decided to go with what we know best: React, Redux, Material-UI (for the styling), and CSS.
React paired with Redux allowed us to handle our state management as well as let us reuse multiple components with ease!
Material UI's extensive component library allowed us to keep a professional look and theme throughout the entire app. Also, I styled many of the pages incorporating Responsive Design to ensure a great user experience on any device.
For the Back End of the project, the tech used consisted of: NodeJS,Express + Knex, JSON Web Tokens, SQLite, and PostgreSQL.
Hosted on Heroku, I was able to create parts of our own API used to filter data needed on the front-end.
