This project was made as a school project for the last year of high school (🇫🇷 La Terminale).

The project code is documented in French.

Technologies

This project relies on MySQL as database manager and on basic technologies :

• Express for the web server, with multer to handle multipart/form-data forms and cookie-parser to handle cookies.
• googleapis/nodemailer to send automatic mails with a gmail address (serves for account recovery emails).
• bcrypt for password encryption
• Pug for the views and Vanilla CSS/JavaScript on the Front-End.

With some minor other dependencies:

• colors for prettier logs
• dotenv to easily retrieve configuration values.
• nodemon for a slightly better development environment
