Project 5: Group React App
Introduction
Build a full-stack app in a team setting.
This project will incorporate group work into building a complete full-stack React app.
The required technologies are not any different from the previous project, although it is heavily recommended to implement a reduce/context store for the data in the React app.
The backend should be derived the same standard Express MVC app: https://github.com/rocketacademy/base-mvc-bootcampโ
Remember that you need to add CORS to this repo.
Requirements
The app must fulfill the following requirements.
- Use React
- Use AJAX to get and set data from the server
- At least 1 full set of CRUD routes (create, retrieve, update, delete)
- At least 2 SQL tables
- At least 1 one-to-many and 1 many-to-many SQL relationship
- Use CSS
The app must be complete in the sense that it cannot rely on the theoretical existence of another system, e.g. an API that doesn't exist. Any 3rd-party APIs available on the internet can be used, e.g. NPM libraries.
Any seed data your app would need to run needs to be included in the repo. The final version of the app must be populated with data that looks at least semi-realistic. For example, a social media app would have more than 1 post, 1 comment and 1 like in the system.

Recommended Order of Implementation
Implement the core user story first. What are users coming to your app to do? Make sure they are able to accomplish that, before adding authentication and nice-to-have features.
- 1.CRUD functionality
- 2.Login functionality
- 3.Any stretch functionality, e.g. AI APIs or file uploading
Ideation Phase 1
Brainstorm app ideas. What problem does the app solve, for whom? How does the app solve the problem? What data does the app handle? Feel free to use Rocket's project planning template, and share your ideas with your SL in Slack to get feedback.
Ideation Phase 2
Plan the app implementation with the following planning docs.
- 1.
- 2.Wireframes of minimal UIs that enable our user flows
- 3.Database ERD to support our user flows and wireframes.
Save these planning docs in a project GitHub repo and share it in Slack. Instructors will review these planning documents with you before you begin implementation.
MVP Deadline
A user should be able to play the game through once without encountering errors. App should be deployed to Heroku. Peer code review during class.
Feature Freeze
The app and all its features should run without errors. Brief demo in class to demonstrate user experience and clarify work to do before presentations. Latest app should be deployed.
Project Presentations
Post-Mortem Meeting
Please answer the project post-mortem questions before the post-mortem meeting with your instructor. These questions will be similar to the presentation questions, but we will dig deeper into your code.
Video Demo
Project Submission and Past Student Projects
Once done with your project, please submit it by adding it to the Rocket Bootcamp Projects spreadsheet in your batch-specific sheet. Feel free to view past student projects in previous batches' sheets.
