form-server

A full-stack application using React and Express that lets users create and store JSON data for their website, or back-end projects. Users are given an API key for each of their "Projects" and can send POST requests to add new data. You can see this project here: Link.

Installing

yarn

Set up CONNECTION_STRING for PostgreSQL and SESSION_SECRET for use in sessions. Put them in a .env file.

Basic Usage

After logging in users can create a Project in the "Projects" tab on the dashboard. They can then go to the find their API key in the "Your API Key" tab.

It should look something like this https://jsonstor3.herokuapp.com/private/v1/0ada1f6538dfdf2fd53e316a3282a48b0884db3a6fed1f74

Any form of valid json can be sent and it will be stored to the database. On successful storage the server will return "Successfully stored to JSONstore: default". To specify a form you can add a string to the end of the url like this https://jsonstor3.herokuapp.com/private/v1/0ada1f6538dfdf2fd53e316a3282a48b0884db3a6fed1f74/profile. On success server will return "Successfully stored to JSONstore: profile."

All data can be downloaded in under the "Manage" tab. Users can download forms seperatly or all at once. As project data grows users can see how much space they are using under the "Projects" tab.
