Submission Details

By using Google Vision API I tried to create a simple web app which can be used to analyze ‘labels', 'text', 'faces’ on a given image and with the help of Google Translate API I translate the detected text on the image from English to Spanish. To be able to upload image I am using Multer and Morgan dependencies. Notes for myself:

• Morgan is basically a logger, on any requests being made,it generates logs automatically.
• Multer is a node.js middleware for handling multipart/form-data, which is primarily used for uploading files.

Screens

Running

• $> npm install
• $> bower install
• $> npm start
• you should put your apikey to inside of .env file (no need to set in the code)
• you should put your keyfile.json file
• localhost:8080/upload page is for uploading a photo
