you have attended any hackathons in the past, then you know how much time it\ntakes to get a project started: decide on what to build, pick a programming\nlanguage, pick a web framework, pick a CSS framework. A while later, you might\nhave an initial project up on GitHub and only then can other team members start\ncontributing. Or how about doing something as simple as _Sign in with Facebook_\nauthentication? You can spend hours on it if you are not familiar with how OAuth\n2.0 works.\n\nWhen I started this project, my primary focus was on **simplicity** and **ease\nof use**. I also tried to make it as **generic** and **reusable** as possible to\ncover most use cases of hackathon web apps, without being too specific. In the\nworst case, you can use this as a learning guide for your projects, if for\nexample you are only interested in **Sign in with Google** authentication and\nnothing else.\n\n### Testimonials\n\n> [**“Nice!

Alternatively, here is\nanother great tutorial for complete beginners -\n[Getting Started With Node.js, Express, MongoDB](http://cwbuecheler.com/web/tutorials/2013/node-express-mongo/).\n\n## Getting Started\n\nThe easiest way to get started is to clone the repository:\n\n```bash\n# Get the latest snapshot\ngit clone https://github.com/sahat/hackathon-starter.git myproject\n\n# Change directory\ncd myproject\n\n# Install NPM dependencies\nnpm install\n\n# Then simply start your app\nnode app.js\n```\n\n**Warning:** If you want to use some API that need https to work (for example\nPinterest or facebook), you will need to download [ngrok](https://ngrok.com/).\nYou must start ngrok after starting the project.\n\n```bash\n# start ngrok to intercept the data exchanged on port 8080\n./ngrok http 8080\n```\n\nNext, you must use the https URL defined by ngrok, for example,\n`https://hackaton.ngrok.io`\n\n**Note:** I highly recommend installing\n[Nodemon](https://github.com/remy/nodemon). It watches for any changes in your\nnode.js app and automatically restarts the server. Once installed, instead of\n`node app.js` use `nodemon app.js`. It will save you a lot of time in the long\nrun, because you won't need to manually restart the server each time you make a\nsmall change in code. To install, run `sudo npm install -g nodemon`.\n\n## Obtaining API Keys\n\nTo use any of the included APIs or OAuth authentication methods, you will need\nto obtain appropriate credentials: Client ID, Client Secret, API Key, or\nUsername & Password. You will need to go through each provider to generate new\ncredentials.\n\n<img src=\"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ad/RecaptchaLogo.svg/200px-RecaptchaLogo.svg.png\" width=\"200\">\n\n-   Visit\n    <a href=\"https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin\" target=\"_blank\">Google\n    reCAPTCHA Admin Console</a>\n-   Enter your application's name as the **Label**\n-   Chose **reCAPTCHA v2**, **\"I'm not a robot\" Checkbox**\n-   Enter _localhost_ as the domain. You can have other domains added in\n    addition to _localhost_\n-   Accept the terms and submit the form\n-   Copy the _Site Key_ and the _Secret key_ into `.env`. These keys will be\n    accessible under Settings, reCAPTCHA keys drop down if you need them again\n    later.\n\n<hr>\n\n<img src=\"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2f/Google_2015_logo.svg/1000px-Google_2015_logo.svg.png\" width=\"200\">\n\n-   Visit\n    <a href=\"https://cloud.google.com/console/project\" target=\"_blank\">Google\n    Cloud Console</a>\n-   Click on the **Create Project** button\n-   Enter _Project Name_, then click on **Create** button\n-   Then click on _APIs & auth_ in the sidebar and select _API_ tab\n-   Click on **Google+ API** under _Social APIs_, then click **Enable API**\n-   Click on **Google Drive API** under _G Suite_, then click **Enable API**\n-   Click on **Google Sheets API** under _G Suite_, then click **Enable API**\n-   Next, under _APIs & auth_ in the sidebar click on _Credentials_ tab\n-   Click on **Create new Client ID** button\n-   Select _Web Application_ and click on **Configure Consent Screen**\n-   Fill out the required fields then click on **Save**\n-   In the _Create Client ID_ modal dialog:\n-   **Application Type**: Web Application\n-   **Authorized Javascript origins**: http://localhost:8080\n-   **Authorized redirect URI**: http://localhost:8080/auth/google/callback\n-   Click on **Create Client ID** button\n-   Copy and paste _Client ID_ and _Client secret_ keys into `.env`\n\n**Note:** When you ready to deploy to production don't forget to add your new\nURL to _Authorized Javascript origins_ and _Authorized redirect URI_, e.g.\n`http://my-awesome-app.herokuapp.com` and\n`http://my-awesome-app.herokuapp.com/auth/google/callback` respectively.

when you\n    need to run multiple asynchronous tasks, and then render a page, but only\n    when all tasks are completed. For example, you might want to scrape three\n    different websites for some data and render the results in a template after\n    all three websites have been scraped.\n-   Need to find a specific object inside an Array? Use\n    [\\_.find](http://lodash.com/docs#find) function from Lodash. For example,\n    this is how you would retrieve a Twitter token from database:\n    `var token = _.find(req.user.tokens, { kind: 'twitter' });`, where 1st\n    parameter is an array, and a 2nd parameter is an object to search for.\n\n## FAQ\n\n### Why do I get `403 Error: Forbidden` when submitting a form?\n\nYou need to add the following hidden input element to your form. This has been\nadded in the\n[pull request #40](https://github.com/sahat/hackathon-starter/pull/40) as part\nof the CSRF protection.\n\n```\ninput(type='hidden', name='_csrf', value=_csrf)\n```\n\n**Note:** It is now possible to whitelist certain URLs. In other words you can\nspecify a list of routes that should bypass CSRF verification check.\n\n**Note 2:** To whitelist dynamic URLs use regular expression tests inside the\nCSRF middleware to see if `req.originalUrl` matches your desired pattern.\n\n### I am getting MongoDB Connection Error, how do I fix it?\n\nThat's a custom error message defined in `app.js` to indicate that there was a\nproblem connecting to MongoDB:\n\n```js\nmongoose.connection.on(\"error\", (err) => {\n    console.error(err);\n    console.log(\n        \"%s MongoDB connection error. Please make sure MongoDB is running.\",\n        chalk.red(\"✗\")\n    );\n    process.exit();\n});\n```\n\nYou need to have a MongoDB server running before launching `app.js`. You can\ndownload MongoDB [here](https://www.mongodb.com/download-center/community), or\ninstall it via a package manager.\n<img src=\"http://dc942d419843af05523b-ff74ae13537a01be6cfec5927837dcfe.r14.cf1.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/windows-8-50x50.jpg\" height=\"17\">\nWindows users, read\n[Install MongoDB on Windows](https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-windows/).\n\n**Tip:** If you are always connected to the internet, you could just use\n[MongoDB Atlas](https://www.mongodb.com/cloud/atlas) or\n[Compose](https://www.compose.io/) instead of downloading and installing MongoDB\nlocally. You will only need to update database credentials in `.env` file.\n\n### I get an error when I deploy my app, why?\n\nChances are you haven't changed the _Database URI_ in `.env`. If `MONGODB` is\nset to `localhost`, it will only work on your machine as long as MongoDB is\nrunning. When you deploy to Heroku, OpenShift or some other provider, you will\nnot have MongoDB running on `localhost`. You need to create an account with\n[MongoDB Atlas](https://www.mongodb.com/cloud/atlas) or\n[Compose](https://www.compose.io/), then create a free tier database. See\n[Deployment](#deployment) for more information on how to setup an account and a\nnew database step-by-step with MongoDB Atlas.\n\n### Why Pug (Jade) instead of Handlebars?\n\nWhen I first started this project I didn't have any experience with Handlebars.\nSince then I have worked on Ember.js apps and got myself familiar with the\nHandlebars syntax. While it is true Handlebars is easier, because it looks like\ngood old HTML, I have no regrets picking Jade over Handlebars. First off, it's\nthe default template engine in Express, so someone who has built Express apps in\nthe past already knows it. Secondly, I find `extends` and `block` to be\nindispensable, which as far as I know, Handlebars does not have out of the box.\nAnd lastly, subjectively speaking, Jade looks much cleaner and shorter than\nHandlebars, or any non-HAML style for that matter.\n\n### Why do you have all routes defined in app.js?\n\nFor the sake of simplicity. While there might be a better approach, such as\npassing `app` context to each controller as outlined in this\n[blog](http://timstermatic.github.io/blog/2013/08/17/a-simple-mvc-framework-with-node-and-express/),\nI find such style to be confusing for beginners. It took me a long time to grasp\nthe concept of `exports` and `module.exports`, let alone having a global `app`\nreference in other files. That to me is backward thinking. The `app.js` is the\n\"heart of the app\", it should be the one referencing models, routes,\ncontrollers, etc. When working solo on small projects, I prefer to have\neverything inside `app.js` as is the case with\n[this](<(https://github.com/sahat/ember-sass-express-starter/blob/master/app.js)>)\nREST API server.\n\n### How do I switch SendGrid for another email delivery service, like Mailgun or SparkPost?\n\nInside the `nodemailer.createTransport` method arguments, change the service\nfrom `'Sendgrid'` to some other email service. Also, be sure to update both\nusername and password below that. See the\n[list of all supported services](https://github.com/nodemailer/nodemailer-wellknown#supported-services)\nby Nodemailer.\n\n## How It Works (mini guides)\n\nThis section is intended for giving you a detailed explanation of how a\nparticular functionality works. Maybe you are just curious about how it works,\nor perhaps you are lost and confused while reading the code, I hope it provides\nsome guidance to you.\n\n### Custom HTML and CSS Design 101\n\n[HTML5 UP](http://html5up.net/) has many beautiful templates that you can\ndownload for free.\n\nWhen you download the ZIP file, it will come with _index.html_, _images_, _css_\nand _js_ folders. So, how do you integrate it with Hackathon Starter? Hackathon\nStarter uses Bootstrap CSS framework, but these templates do not. Trying to use\nboth CSS files at the same time will likely result in undesired effects.\n\n**Note:** Using the custom templates approach, you should understand that you\ncannot reuse any of the views I have created: layout, home page, api browser,\nlogin, signup, account management, contact. Those views were built using\nBootstrap grid and styles. You will have to manually update the grid using a\ndifferent syntax provided in the template. **Having said that, you can mix and\nmatch if you want to do so: Use Bootstrap for main app interface, and a custom\ntemplate for a landing page.**\n\nLet's start from the beginning. For this example I will use\n[Escape Velocity](http://html5up.net/escape-velocity/) template:\n![Alt](http://html5up.net/uploads/images/escape-velocity.jpg)\n\n**Note:** For the sake of simplicity I will only consider `index.html`, and skip\n`left-sidebar.html`, `no-sidebar.html`, `right-sidebar.html`.\n\nMove all JavaScript files from `html5up-escape-velocity/js` to `public/js`. Then\nmove all CSS files from `html5up-escape-velocity/css` to `public/css`. And\nfinally, move all images from `html5up-escape-velocity/images` to\n`public/images`. You could move it to the existing **img** folder, but that\nwould require manually changing every `img` reference. Grab the contents of\n`index.html` and paste it into [HTML To Pug](https://html-to-pug.com/).\n\n**Note:** Do not forget to update all the CSS and JS paths accordingly.\n\nCreate a new file `escape-velocity.pug` and paste the Pug markup in `views`\nfolder. Whenever you see the code `res.render('account/login')` - that means it\nwill search for `views/account/login.pug` file.\n\nLet's see how it looks. Create a new controller **escapeVelocity** inside\n`controllers/home.js`:\n\n```js\nexports.escapeVelocity = (req, res) => {\n    res.render(\"escape-velocity\", {\n        title: \"Landing Page\",\n    });\n};\n```\n\nAnd then create a route in `app.js`. I placed it right after the index\ncontroller:\n\n```js\napp.get(\"/escape-velocity\", homeController.escapeVelocity);\n```\n\nRestart the server (if you are not using **nodemon**); then you should see the\nnew template at\n[http://localhost:8080/escape-velocity](http://localhost:8080/escape-velocity).\n\nI will stop right here, but if you would like to use this template as more than\njust a single page, take a look at how these Pug templates work: `layout.pug` -\nbase template, `index.pug` - home page, `partials/header.pug` - Bootstrap\nnavbar, `partials/footer.pug` - sticky footer. You will have to manually break\nit apart into smaller pieces. Figure out which part of the template you want to\nkeep the same on all pages - that's your new `layout.pug`. Then, each page that\nchanges, be it `index.pug`, `about.pug`, `contact.pug` will be embedded in your\nnew `layout.pug` via `block content`. Use existing templates as a reference.\n\nThis is a rather lengthy process, and templates you get from elsewhere might\nhave yet another grid system. That's why I chose _Bootstrap_ for the Hackathon\nStarter. Many people are already familiar with _Bootstrap_, plus it's easy to\nget started with it if you have never used _Bootstrap_. You can also buy many\nbeautifully designed _Bootstrap_ themes at\n[Themeforest](http://themeforest.net/), and use them as a drop-in replacement\nfor Hackathon Starter. However, if you would like to go with a completely custom\nHTML/CSS design, this should help you to get started!\n\n<hr>\n\n### How do flash messages work in this project?\n\nFlash messages allow you to display a message at the end of the request and\naccess it on next request and only next request. For instance, on a failed login\nattempt, you would display an alert with some error message, but as soon as you\nrefresh that page or visit a different page and come back to the login page,\nthat error message will be gone. It is only displayed once. This project uses\n_express-flash_ module for flash messages. And that module is built on top of\n_connect-flash_, which is what I used in this project initially. With\n_express-flash_ you don't have to explicitly send a flash message to every view\ninside `res.render()`. All flash messages are available in your views via\n`messages` object by default, thanks to _express-flash_.\n\nFlash messages have a two-step process. You use\n`req.flash('errors', { msg: 'Error messages goes here' }` to create a flash\nmessage in your controllers, and then display them in your views:\n\n```pug\nif messages.errors\n  .alert.alert-danger.fade.in\n    for error in messages.errors\n      div= error.msg\n```\n\nIn the first step, `'errors'` is the name of a flash message, which should match\nthe name of the property on `messages` object in your views. You place alert\nmessages inside `if message.errors` because you don't want to show them flash\nmessages are present. The reason why you pass an error like\n`{ msg: 'Error message goes here' }` instead of just a string -\n`'Error message goes here'`, is for the sake of consistency. To clarify that,\n_express-validator_ module which is used for validating and sanitizing user's\ninput, returns all errors as an array of objects, where each object has a `msg`\nproperty with a message why an error has occurred. Here is a more general\nexample of what express-validator returns when there are errors present:\n\n```js\n[\n    { param: \"name\", msg: \"Name is required\", value: \"<received input>\" },\n    {\n        param: \"email\",\n        msg: \"A valid email is required\",\n        value: \"<received input>\",\n    },\n];\n```\n\nTo keep consistent with that style, you should pass all flash messages as\n`{ msg: 'My flash message' }` instead of a string. Otherwise, you will see an\nalert box without an error message. That is because in **partials/flash.pug**\ntemplate it will try to output `error.msg` (i.e. `\"My flash message\".msg`), in\nother words, it will try to call a `msg` method on a _String_ object, which will\nreturn _undefined_. Everything I just mentioned about errors, also applies to\n\"info\" and \"success\" flash messages, and you could even create a new one\nyourself, such as:\n\n**Data Usage Controller (Example)**\n\n```\nreq.flash('warning', { msg: 'You have exceeded 90% of your data usage' });\n```\n\n**User Account Page (Example)**\n\n```pug\nif messages.warning\n  .alert.alert-warning.fade.in\n    for warning in messages.warning\n      div= warning.msg\n```\n\n`partials/flash.pug` is a partial template that contains how flash messages are\nformatted. Previously, flash messages were scattered throughout each view that\nused flash messages (contact, login, signup, profile), but now, thankfully it\nuses a _DRY_ approach.\n\nThe flash messages partial template is _included_ in the `layout.pug`, along\nwith footer and navigation.\n\n```pug\nbody\n    include partials/header\n\n    .container\n      include partials/flash\n      block content\n\n    include partials/footer\n```\n\nIf you have any further questions about flash messages, please feel free to open\nan issue, and I will update this mini-guide accordingly, or send a pull request\nif you would like to include something that I missed.\n\n<hr>\n\n### How do I create a new page?\n\nA more correct way to say this would be \"How do I create a new route?\" The main\nfile `app.js` contains all the routes. Each route has a callback function\nassociated with it. Sometimes you will see three or more arguments for a route.\nIn a case like that, the first argument is still a URL string, while middle\narguments are what's called middleware. Think of middleware as a door. If this\ndoor prevents you from continuing forward, you won't get to your callback\nfunction. One such example is a route that requires authentication.\n\n```js\napp.get(\"/account\", passportConfig.isAuthenticated, userController.getAccount);\n```\n\nIt always goes from left to right. A user visits `/account` page. Then\n`isAuthenticated` middleware checks if you are authenticated:\n\n```js\nexports.isAuthenticated = (req, res, next) => {\n    if (req.isAuthenticated()) {\n        return next();\n    }\n    res.redirect(\"/login\");\n};\n```\n\nIf you are authenticated, you let this visitor pass through your \"door\" by\ncalling `return next();`. It then proceeds to the next middleware until it\nreaches the last argument, which is a callback function that typically renders a\ntemplate on `GET` requests or redirects on `POST` requests. In this case, if you\nare authenticated, you will be redirected to the _Account Management_ page;\notherwise, you will be redirected to the _Login_ page.\n\n```js\nexports.getAccount = (req, res) => {\n    res.render(\"account/profile\", {\n        title: \"Account Management\",\n    });\n};\n```\n\nExpress.js has `app.get`, `app.post`, `app.put`, `app.delete`, but for the most\npart, you will only use the first two HTTP verbs, unless you are building a\nRESTful API. If you just want to display a page, then use `GET`, if you are\nsubmitting a form, sending a file then use `POST`.\n\nHere is a typical workflow for adding new routes to your application. Let's say\nwe are building a page that lists all books from the database.\n\n**Step 1.** Start by defining a route.\n\n```js\napp.get(\"/books\", bookController.getBooks);\n```\n\n---\n\n**Note:** As of Express 4.x you can define your routes like so:\n\n```js\napp.route(\"/books\")\n    .get(bookController.getBooks)\n    .post(bookController.createBooks)\n    .put(bookController.updateBooks)\n    .delete(bookController.deleteBooks);\n```\n\nAnd here is how a route would look if it required an _authentication_ and an\n_authorization_ middleware:\n\n```js\napp.route(\"/api/twitter\")\n    .all(passportConfig.isAuthenticated)\n    .all(passportConfig.isAuthorized)\n    .get(apiController.getTwitter)\n    .post(apiController.postTwitter);\n```\n\nUse whichever style that makes sense to you. Either one is acceptable. I think\nthat chaining HTTP verbs on `app.route` is a very clean and elegant approach,\nbut on the other hand, I can no longer see all my routes at a glance when you\nhave one route per line.\n\n**Step 2.** Create a new schema and a model `Book.js` inside the _models_\ndirectory.\n\n```js\nconst mongoose = require(\"mongoose\");\n\nconst bookSchema = new mongoose.Schema({\n    name: String,\n});\n\nconst Book = mongoose.model(\"Book\", bookSchema);\nmodule.exports = Book;\n```\n\n**Step 3.** Create a new controller file called `book.js` inside the\n_controllers_ directory.\n\n```js\n/**\n * GET /books\n * List all books.\n */\nconst Book = require(\"../models/Book.js\");\n\nexports.getBooks = (req, res) => {\n    Book.find((err, docs) => {\n        res.render(\"books\", { books: docs });\n    });\n};\n```\n\n**Step 4.** Import that controller in `app.js`.\n\n```js\nconst bookController = require(\"./controllers/book\");\n```\n\n**Step 5.** Create `books.pug` template.\n\n```pug\nextends layout\n\nblock content\n  .page-header\n    h3 All Books\n\n  ul\n    for book in books\n      li= book.name\n```\n\nThat's it! I will say that you could have combined Step 1, 2, 3 as following:\n\n```js\napp.get(\"/books\", (req, res) => {\n    Book.find((err, docs) => {\n        res.render(\"books\", { books: docs });\n    });\n});\n```\n\nSure, it's simpler, but as soon as you pass 1000 lines of code in `app.js` it\nbecomes a little challenging to navigate the file. I mean, the whole point of\nthis boilerplate project was to separate concerns, so you could work with your\nteammates without running into _MERGE CONFLICTS_. Imagine you have four\ndevelopers working on a single `app.js`, I promise you it won't be fun resolving\nmerge conflicts all the time. If you are the only developer, then it's okay. But\nas I said, once it gets up to a certain LoC size, it becomes difficult to\nmaintain everything in a single file.\n\nThat's all there is to it. Express.js is super simple to use. Most of the time\nyou will be dealing with other APIs to do the real work:\n[Mongoose](http://mongoosejs.com/docs/guide.html) for querying database,\nsocket.io for sending and receiving messages over websockets, sending emails via\n[Nodemailer](http://nodemailer.com/), form validation using\n[express-validator](https://github.com/ctavan/express-validator) library,\nparsing websites using [Cheerio](https://github.com/cheeriojs/cheerio), etc.\n\n<hr>\n\n### How do I use Socket.io with Hackathon Starter?\n\n[Dan Stroot](https://github.com/dstroot) submitted an excellent\n[pull request](https://github.com/dstroot/hackathon-starter/commit/0a632def1ce8da446709d92812423d337c977d75)\nthat adds a real-time dashboard with socket.io. And as much as I'd like to add\nit to the project, I think it violates one of the main principles of the\nHackathon Starter:\n\n> When I started this project, my primary focus was on simplicity and ease of\n> use. I also tried to make it as generic and reusable as possible to cover most\n> use cases of hackathon web apps, **without being too specific**.\n\nWhen I need to use socket.io, I **really** need it, but most of the time - I\ndon't. But more importantly, websockets support is still experimental on most\nhosting providers. As of October 2013, Heroku supports websockets, but not until\nyou opt-in by running this command:\n\n```js\nheroku labs:enable websockets -a myapp\n```\n\nAnd what if you are deploying to OpenShift? They do support websockets, but it\nis currently in a preview state. So, for OpenShift you would need to change the\nsocket.io connect URI to the following:\n\n```js\nconst socket = io.connect(\"http://yoursite-namespace.rhcloud.com:8000\");\n```\n\nWait, why is it on port 8000? Who knows, and if I didn't run across this\n[blog post](http://velin-georgiev-blog.appspot.com/blog/set-up-nodejs-express-socketio-application-using-websockets-on-openshift-by-red-hat/)\nI wouldn't even know I had to use port 8000.\n\nI am really glad that Heroku and OpenShift at least have a websockets support,\nbecause many other PaaS providers still do not support it. Due to the\naforementioned issues with websockets, I cannot include socket.io as part of the\nHackathon Starter. _For now..._ If you need to use socket.io in your app, please\ncontinue reading.\n\nFirst, you need to install socket.io:\n\n```js\nnpm install socket.io\n```\n\nReplace `const app = express();` with the following code:\n\n```js\nconst app = express();\nconst server = require(\"http\").Server(app);\nconst io = require(\"socket.io\")(server);\n```\n\nI like to have the following code organization in `app.js` (from top to bottom):\nmodule dependencies, import controllers, import configs, connect to database,\nexpress configuration, routes, start the server, socket.io stuff. That way I\nalways know where to look for things.\n\nAdd the following code at the end of `app.js`:\n\n```js\nio.on(\"connection\", (socket) => {\n    socket.emit(\"greet\", { hello: \"Hey there browser!\" });\n    socket.on(\"respond\", (data) => {\n        console.log(data);\n    });\n    socket.on(\"disconnect\", () => {\n        console.log(\"Socket disconnected\");\n    });\n});\n```\n\nOne last thing left to change:\n\n```js\napp.listen(app.get('port'), () => {\n```\n\nto\n\n```js\nserver.listen(app.get('port'), () => {\n```\n\nAt this point, we are done with the back-end.\n\nYou now have a choice - to include your JavaScript code in Pug templates or have\nall your client-side JavaScript in a separate file - in `main.js`. I admit, when\nI first started with Node.js and JavaScript in general, I placed all JavaScript\ncode inside templates because I have access to template variables passed in from\nExpress right then and there. It's the easiest thing you can do, but also the\nleast efficient and harder to maintain. Since then I almost never include inline\nJavaScript inside templates anymore.\n\nBut it's also understandable if you want to take the easier road. Most of the\ntime you don't even care about performance during hackathons, you just want to\n[_\"get shit done\"_](https://www.startupvitamins.com/media/products/13/aaron_levie_poster_black.jpg)\nbefore the time runs out. Well, either way, use whichever approach makes more\nsense to you. At the end of the day, it's **what** you build that matters, not\n**how** you build it.\n\nIf you want to stick all your JavaScript inside templates, then in\n`layout.pug` - your main template file, add this to `head` block.\n\n```pug\nscript(src='/socket.io/socket.io.js')\nscript.\n    let socket = io.connect(window.location.href);\n    socket.on('greet', function (data) {\n      console.log(data);\n      socket.emit('respond', { message: 'Hey there, server!' });\n    });\n```\n\n**Note:** Notice the path of the `socket.io.js`, you don't actually have to have\n`socket.io.js` file anywhere in your project; it will be generated automatically\nat runtime.\n\nIf you want to have JavaScript code separate from templates, move that inline\nscript code into `main.js`, inside the `$(document).ready()` function:\n\n```js\n$(document).ready(function () {\n    // Place JavaScript code here...\n    let socket = io.connect(window.location.href);\n    socket.on(\"greet\", function (data) {\n        console.log(data);\n        socket.emit(\"respond\", { message: \"Hey there, server!\" });\n    });\n});\n```\n\nAnd we are done!\n\n## Cheatsheets\n\n### <img src=\"https://frontendmasters.com/assets/es6-logo.png\" height=\"34\" align=\"top\"> ES6 Cheatsheet\n\n#### Declarations\n\nDeclares a read-only named constant.\n\n```js\nconst name = \"yourName\";\n```\n\nDeclares a block scope local variable.\n\n```js\nlet index = 0;\n```\n\n#### Template Strings\n\nUsing the **\\`${}\\`** syntax, strings can embed expressions.\n\n```js\nconst name = \"Oggy\";\nconst age = 3;\n\nconsole.log(`My cat is named ${name} and is ${age} years old.`);\n```\n\n#### Modules\n\nTo import functions, objects or primitives exported from an external module.\nThese are the most common types of importing.\n\n```js\nconst name = require(\"module-name\");\n```\n\n```js\nconst { foo, bar } = require(\"module-name\");\n```\n\nTo export functions, objects or primitives from a given file or module.\n\n```js\nmodule.exports = { myFunction };\n```\n\n```js\nmodule.exports.name = \"yourName\";\n```\n\n```js\nmodule.exports = myFunctionOrClass;\n```\n\n#### Spread Operator\n\nThe spread operator allows an expression to be expanded in places where multiple\narguments (for function calls) or multiple elements (for array literals) are\nexpected.\n\n```js\nmyFunction(...iterableObject);\n```\n\n```jsx\n<ChildComponent {...this.props} />\n```\n\n#### Promises\n\nA Promise is used in asynchronous computations to represent an operation that\nhasn't completed yet, but is expected in the future.\n\n```js\nvar p = new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {});\n```\n\nThe `catch()` method returns a Promise and deals with rejected cases only.\n\n```js\np.catch(function (reason) {\n    /* handle rejection */\n});\n```\n\nThe `then()` method returns a Promise. It takes two arguments: callback for the\nsuccess & failure cases.\n\n```js\np.then(\n    function (value) {\n        /* handle fulfillment */\n    },\n    function (reason) {\n        /* handle rejection */\n    }\n);\n```\n\nThe `Promise.all(iterable)` method returns a promise that resolves when all of\nthe promises in the iterable argument have resolved or rejects with the reason\nof the first passed promise that rejects.\n\n```js\nPromise.all([p1, p2, p3]).then(function (values) {\n    console.log(values);\n});\n```\n\n#### Arrow Functions\n\nArrow function expression. Shorter syntax & lexically binds the `this` value.\nArrow functions are anonymous.\n\n```js\n(singleParam) => {\n    statements;\n};\n```\n\n```js\n() => {\n    statements;\n};\n```\n\n```js\n(param1, param2) => expression;\n```\n\n```js\nconst arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];\nconst squares = arr.map((x) => x * x);\n```\n\n#### Classes\n\nThe class declaration creates a new class using prototype-based inheritance.\n\n```js\nclass Person {\n    constructor(name, age, gender) {\n        this.name = name;\n        this.age = age;\n        this.gender = gender;\n    }\n\n    incrementAge() {\n        this.age++;\n    }\n}\n```\n\n:gift: **Credits**:\n[DuckDuckGo](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=es6+cheatsheet&ia=cheatsheet&iax=1) and\n[@DrkSephy](https://github.com/DrkSephy/es6-cheatsheet).\n\n:top: <sub>[**back to top**](#table-of-contents)</sub>\n\n### <img src=\"http://i.stack.imgur.com/Mmww2.png\" height=\"34\" align=\"top\"> JavaScript Date Cheatsheet\n\n#### Unix Timestamp (seconds)\n\n```js\nMath.floor(Date.now() / 1000);\n```\n\n```MomentJS\nmoment().unix();\n```\n\n#### Add 30 minutes to a Date object\n\n```js\nvar now = new Date();\nnow.setMinutes(now.getMinutes() + 30);\n```\n\n```MomentJS\nmoment().add(30, 'minutes');\n```\n\n#### Date Formatting\n\n```js\n// DD-MM-YYYY\nvar now = new Date();\n\nvar DD = now.getDate();\nvar MM = now.getMonth() + 1;\nvar YYYY = now.getFullYear();\n\nif (DD < 10) {\n    DD = \"0\" + DD;\n}\n\nif (MM < 10) {\n    MM = \"0\" + MM;\n}\n\nconsole.log(MM + \"-\" + DD + \"-\" + YYYY); // 03-30-2016\n```\n\n```MomentJS\nconsole.log(moment(new Date(), 'MM-DD-YYYY'));\n```\n\n```js\n// hh:mm (12 hour time with am/pm)\nvar now = new Date();\nvar hours = now.getHours();\nvar minutes = now.getMinutes();\nvar amPm = hours >= 12 ? \"pm\" : \"am\";\n\nhours = hours % 12;\nhours = hours ? hours : 12;\nminutes = minutes < 10 ? \"0\" + minutes : minutes;\n\nconsole.log(hours + \":\" + minutes + \" \" + amPm); // 1:43 am\n```\n\n```MomentJS\nconsole.log(moment(new Date(), 'hh:mm A'));\n```\n\n#### Next week Date object\n\n```js\nvar today = new Date();\nvar nextWeek = new Date(today.getTime() + 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);\n```\n\n```MomentJS\nmoment().add(7, 'days');\n```\n\n#### Yesterday Date object\n\n```js\nvar today = new Date();\nvar yesterday = date.setDate(date.getDate() - 1);\n```\n\n```MomentJS\nmoment().add(-1, 'days');\n```\n\n:top: <sub>[**back to top**](#table-of-contents)</sub>\n\n### Mongoose Cheatsheet\n\n#### Find all users:\n\n```js\nUser.find((err, users) => {\n    console.log(users);\n});\n```\n\n#### Find a user by email:\n\n```js\nlet userEmail = \"example@gmail.com\";\nUser.findOne({ email: userEmail }, (err, user) => {\n    console.log(user);\n});\n```\n\n#### Find 5 most recent user accounts:\n\n```js\nUser.find()\n    .sort({ _id: -1 })\n    .limit(5)\n    .exec((err, users) => {\n        console.log(users);\n    });\n```\n\n#### Get the total count of a field from all documents:\n\nLet's suppose that each user has a `votes` field and you would like to count the\ntotal number of votes in your database across all users. One very inefficient\nway would be to loop through each document and manually accumulate the count. Or\nyou could use\n[MongoDB Aggregation Framework](https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/core/aggregation-introduction/)\ninstead:\n\n```js\nUser.aggregate(\n    { $group: { _id: null, total: { $sum: \"$votes\" } } },\n    (err, votesCount) => {\n        console.log(votesCount.total);\n    }\n);\n```\n\n:top: <sub>[**back to top**](#table-of-contents)</sub>\n\n## Docker\n\nYou will need docker and docker-compose installed to build the application.\n\n-   [Docker installation](https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/)\n\n-   [Common problems setting up docker](https://docs.docker.com/toolbox/faqs/troubleshoot/)\n\nAfter installing docker, start the application with the following commands :\n\n```\n# To build the project for the first time or when you add dependencies\ndocker-compose build web\n\n# To start the application (or to restart after making changes to the source code)\ndocker-compose up web\n\n```\n\nTo view the app, find your docker IP address + port 8080 ( this will typically\nbe http://localhost:8080/ ). To use a port other than 8080, you would need to\nmodify the port in app.js, Dockerfile, and docker-compose.yml.\n\n## Deployment\n\nOnce you are ready to deploy your app, you will need to create an account with a\ncloud platform to host it. These are not the only choices, but they are my top\npicks. From my experience, the easiest way to get started is with **Heroku**. It\nwill automatically restart your Node.js process when it crashes, has\nzero-downtime deployments and supports custom domains on free accounts.\nAdditionally, you can create an account with **MongoDB Atlas** and then pick one\nof the _4_ providers below. Again, there are plenty of other choices, and you\nare not limited to just the ones listed below.\n\n### Deployment to Heroku\n\n<img src=\"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a9/Heroku_logo.png\" width=\"200\">\n\n-   Download and install [Heroku Toolbelt](https://toolbelt.heroku.com/)\n-   In a terminal, run `heroku login` and enter your Heroku credentials\n-   From _your app_ directory run `heroku create`\n-   Use the command `heroku config:set KEY=val` to set the different environment\n    variables (KEY=val) for your application (i.e.\n    `heroku config:set BASE_URL=[heroku App Name].herokuapp.com` or\n    `heroku config:set MONGODB_URI=mongodb://dbuser:<password>@cluster0-shard-00-00-sdf32.mongodb.net:27017,cluster0-shard-00-01-sdf32.mongodb.net:27017/<dbname>?ssl=true&retryWrites=true&w=majority`\n    (see Hosted MongoDB Atlas below), etc.) Make sure to set the environment\n    variables for SENDGRID_USER, SENDGRID_PASSWORD, and any other API that you\n    are using as well.\n-   Lastly, do `git push heroku master`.\n\nPlease note that you may also use the\n[Herko Dashboard](https://dashboard.heroku.com) to set or modify the\nconfigurations for your application.\n\n---\n\n### Hosted MongoDB Atlas\n\n<img src=\"https://www.mongodb.com/assets/images/global/MongoDB_Logo_Dark.svg\" width=\"200\">\n\n-   Go to\n    [https://www.mongodb.com/cloud/atlas](https://www.mongodb.com/cloud/atlas)\n-   Click the green **Get started free** button\n-   Fill in your information then hit **Get started free**\n-   You will be redirected to Create New Cluster page.\n-   Select a **Cloud Provider and Region** (such as AWS and a free tier region)\n-   Select cluster Tier to **Free Shared Clusters**\n-   Give Cluster a name (default: Cluster0)\n-   Click on green **:zap:Create Cluster button**\n-   Now, to access your database you need to create a DB user. To create a new\n    MongoDB user, from the **Clusters view**, select the **Security tab**\n-   Under the **MongoDB Users** tab, click on **+Add New User**\n-   Fill in a username and password and give it either **Atlas Admin** User\n    Privilege\n-   Next, you will need to create an IP address whitelist and obtain the\n    connection URI. In the Clusters view, under the cluster details (i.e.\n    SANDBOX - Cluster0), click on the **CONNECT** button.\n-   Under section **(1) Check the IP Whitelist**, click on **ALLOW ACCESS FROM\n    ANYWHERE**. The form will add a field with `0.0.0.0/0`. Click **SAVE** to\n    save the `0.0.0.0/0` whitelist.\n-   Under section **(2) Choose a connection method**, click on **Connect Your\n    Application**\n-   In the new screen, select **Node.js** as Driver and version **2.2.12 or\n    later**. _*WARNING*_: Do not pick 3.0 or later since connect-mongo can't\n    handle mongodb+srv:// connection strings.\n-   Finally, copy the URI connection string and replace the URI in MONGODB_URI\n    of `.env.example` with this URI string. Make sure to replace the <PASSWORD>\n    with the db User password that you created under the Security tab.\n-   Note that after some of the steps in the Atlas UI, you may see a banner\n    stating `We are deploying your changes`. You will need to wait for the\n    deployment to finish before using the DB in your application.\n\n**Note:** As an alternative to MongoDB Atlas, there is also\n[Compose](https://www.compose.io/).\n\n---\n\n### OpenShift\n\n<img src=\"http://www.opencloudconf.com/images/openshift_logo.png\" width=\"200\">\n**NOTE** *These instructions might be out of date due to changes in OpenShift. Heroku is currently a good free alternative.  If you the new process, please feel free to help us update this page*\n\n-   First, install this Ruby gem: `sudo gem install rhc` :gem:\n-   Run `rhc login` and enter your OpenShift credentials\n-   From your app directory run `rhc app create MyApp nodejs-0.10`\n-   **Note:** _MyApp_ is the name of your app (no spaces)\n-   Once that is done, you will be provided with **URL**, **SSH** and **Git\n    Remote** links\n-   Visit provided **URL**, and you should see the _Welcome to your Node.js\n    application on OpenShift_ page\n-   Copy and paste **Git Remote** into\n    `git remote add openshift YOUR_GIT_REMOTE`\n-   Before you push your app, you need to do a few modifications to your code\n\nAdd these two lines to `app.js`, just place them anywhere before `app.listen()`:\n\n```js\nvar IP_ADDRESS = process.env.OPENSHIFT_NODEJS_IP || \"127.0.0.1\";\nvar PORT = process.env.OPENSHIFT_NODEJS_PORT || 8080;\n```\n\nThen change `app.listen()` to:\n\n```js\napp.listen(PORT, IP_ADDRESS, () => {\n    console.log(\n        `Express server listening on port ${PORT} in ${app.settings.env} mode`\n    );\n});\n```\n\nAdd this to `package.json`, after _name_ and _version_. This is necessary\nbecause, by default, OpenShift looks for `server.js` file. And by specifying\n`supervisor app.js` it will automatically restart the server when node.js\nprocess crashes.\n\n```js\n\"main\": \"app.js\",\n\"scripts\": {\n  \"start\": \"supervisor app.js\"\n},\n```\n\n-   Finally, you can now push your code to OpenShift by running\n    `git push -f openshift master`\n-   **Note:** The first time you run this command, you have to pass `-f` (force)\n    flag because OpenShift creates a dummy server with the welcome page when you\n    create a new Node.js app. Passing `-f` flag will override everything with\n    your _Hackathon Starter_ project repository. **Do not** run `git pull` as it\n    will create unnecessary merge conflicts.\n-   And you are done!\n\n---\n\n### Azure\n\n<img src=\"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/ff/Windows_Azure_logo.png\" width=\"200\">\n**NOTE** *Beyond the initial 12 month trial of Azure, the platform does not seem to offer a free tier for hosting NodeJS apps.

you have attended any hackathons in the past, then you know how much time it\ntakes to get a project started: decide on what to build, pick a programming\nlanguage, pick a web framework, pick a CSS framework. A while later, you might\nhave an initial project up on GitHub and only then can other team members start\ncontributing. Or how about doing something as simple as _Sign in with Facebook_\nauthentication? You can spend hours on it if you are not familiar with how OAuth\n2.0 works.\n\nWhen I started this project, my primary focus was on **simplicity** and **ease\nof use**. I also tried to make it as **generic** and **reusable** as possible to\ncover most use cases of hackathon web apps, without being too specific. In the\nworst case, you can use this as a learning guide for your projects, if for\nexample you are only interested in **Sign in with Google** authentication and\nnothing else.\n\n### Testimonials\n\n> [**“Nice!

Alternatively, here is\nanother great tutorial for complete beginners -\n[Getting Started With Node.js, Express, MongoDB](http://cwbuecheler.com/web/tutorials/2013/node-express-mongo/).\n\n## Getting Started\n\nThe easiest way to get started is to clone the repository:\n\n```bash\n# Get the latest snapshot\ngit clone https://github.com/sahat/hackathon-starter.git myproject\n\n# Change directory\ncd myproject\n\n# Install NPM dependencies\nnpm install\n\n# Then simply start your app\nnode app.js\n```\n\n**Warning:** If you want to use some API that need https to work (for example\nPinterest or facebook), you will need to download [ngrok](https://ngrok.com/).\nYou must start ngrok after starting the project.\n\n```bash\n# start ngrok to intercept the data exchanged on port 8080\n./ngrok http 8080\n```\n\nNext, you must use the https URL defined by ngrok, for example,\n`https://hackaton.ngrok.io`\n\n**Note:** I highly recommend installing\n[Nodemon](https://github.com/remy/nodemon). It watches for any changes in your\nnode.js app and automatically restarts the server. Once installed, instead of\n`node app.js` use `nodemon app.js`. It will save you a lot of time in the long\nrun, because you won't need to manually restart the server each time you make a\nsmall change in code. To install, run `sudo npm install -g nodemon`.\n\n## Obtaining API Keys\n\nTo use any of the included APIs or OAuth authentication methods, you will need\nto obtain appropriate credentials: Client ID, Client Secret, API Key, or\nUsername & Password. You will need to go through each provider to generate new\ncredentials.\n\n<img src=\"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ad/RecaptchaLogo.svg/200px-RecaptchaLogo.svg.png\" width=\"200\">\n\n-   Visit\n    <a href=\"https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin\" target=\"_blank\">Google\n    reCAPTCHA Admin Console</a>\n-   Enter your application's name as the **Label**\n-   Chose **reCAPTCHA v2**, **\"I'm not a robot\" Checkbox**\n-   Enter _localhost_ as the domain. You can have other domains added in\n    addition to _localhost_\n-   Accept the terms and submit the form\n-   Copy the _Site Key_ and the _Secret key_ into `.env`. These keys will be\n    accessible under Settings, reCAPTCHA keys drop down if you need them again\n    later.\n\n<hr>\n\n<img src=\"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2f/Google_2015_logo.svg/1000px-Google_2015_logo.svg.png\" width=\"200\">\n\n-   Visit\n    <a href=\"https://cloud.google.com/console/project\" target=\"_blank\">Google\n    Cloud Console</a>\n-   Click on the **Create Project** button\n-   Enter _Project Name_, then click on **Create** button\n-   Then click on _APIs & auth_ in the sidebar and select _API_ tab\n-   Click on **Google+ API** under _Social APIs_, then click **Enable API**\n-   Click on **Google Drive API** under _G Suite_, then click **Enable API**\n-   Click on **Google Sheets API** under _G Suite_, then click **Enable API**\n-   Next, under _APIs & auth_ in the sidebar click on _Credentials_ tab\n-   Click on **Create new Client ID** button\n-   Select _Web Application_ and click on **Configure Consent Screen**\n-   Fill out the required fields then click on **Save**\n-   In the _Create Client ID_ modal dialog:\n-   **Application Type**: Web Application\n-   **Authorized Javascript origins**: http://localhost:8080\n-   **Authorized redirect URI**: http://localhost:8080/auth/google/callback\n-   Click on **Create Client ID** button\n-   Copy and paste _Client ID_ and _Client secret_ keys into `.env`\n\n**Note:** When you ready to deploy to production don't forget to add your new\nURL to _Authorized Javascript origins_ and _Authorized redirect URI_, e.g.\n`http://my-awesome-app.herokuapp.com` and\n`http://my-awesome-app.herokuapp.com/auth/google/callback` respectively.

when you\n    need to run multiple asynchronous tasks, and then render a page, but only\n    when all tasks are completed. For example, you might want to scrape three\n    different websites for some data and render the results in a template after\n    all three websites have been scraped.\n-   Need to find a specific object inside an Array? Use\n    [\\_.find](http://lodash.com/docs#find) function from Lodash. For example,\n    this is how you would retrieve a Twitter token from database:\n    `var token = _.find(req.user.tokens, { kind: 'twitter' });`, where 1st\n    parameter is an array, and a 2nd parameter is an object to search for.\n\n## FAQ\n\n### Why do I get `403 Error: Forbidden` when submitting a form?\n\nYou need to add the following hidden input element to your form. This has been\nadded in the\n[pull request #40](https://github.com/sahat/hackathon-starter/pull/40) as part\nof the CSRF protection.\n\n```\ninput(type='hidden', name='_csrf', value=_csrf)\n```\n\n**Note:** It is now possible to whitelist certain URLs. In other words you can\nspecify a list of routes that should bypass CSRF verification check.\n\n**Note 2:** To whitelist dynamic URLs use regular expression tests inside the\nCSRF middleware to see if `req.originalUrl` matches your desired pattern.\n\n### I am getting MongoDB Connection Error, how do I fix it?\n\nThat's a custom error message defined in `app.js` to indicate that there was a\nproblem connecting to MongoDB:\n\n```js\nmongoose.connection.on(\"error\", (err) => {\n    console.error(err);\n    console.log(\n        \"%s MongoDB connection error. Please make sure MongoDB is running.\",\n        chalk.red(\"✗\")\n    );\n    process.exit();\n});\n```\n\nYou need to have a MongoDB server running before launching `app.js`. You can\ndownload MongoDB [here](https://www.mongodb.com/download-center/community), or\ninstall it via a package manager.\n<img src=\"http://dc942d419843af05523b-ff74ae13537a01be6cfec5927837dcfe.r14.cf1.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/windows-8-50x50.jpg\" height=\"17\">\nWindows users, read\n[Install MongoDB on Windows](https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-windows/).\n\n**Tip:** If you are always connected to the internet, you could just use\n[MongoDB Atlas](https://www.mongodb.com/cloud/atlas) or\n[Compose](https://www.compose.io/) instead of downloading and installing MongoDB\nlocally. You will only need to update database credentials in `.env` file.\n\n### I get an error when I deploy my app, why?\n\nChances are you haven't changed the _Database URI_ in `.env`. If `MONGODB` is\nset to `localhost`, it will only work on your machine as long as MongoDB is\nrunning. When you deploy to Heroku, OpenShift or some other provider, you will\nnot have MongoDB running on `localhost`. You need to create an account with\n[MongoDB Atlas](https://www.mongodb.com/cloud/atlas) or\n[Compose](https://www.compose.io/), then create a free tier database. See\n[Deployment](#deployment) for more information on how to setup an account and a\nnew database step-by-step with MongoDB Atlas.\n\n### Why Pug (Jade) instead of Handlebars?\n\nWhen I first started this project I didn't have any experience with Handlebars.\nSince then I have worked on Ember.js apps and got myself familiar with the\nHandlebars syntax. While it is true Handlebars is easier, because it looks like\ngood old HTML, I have no regrets picking Jade over Handlebars. First off, it's\nthe default template engine in Express, so someone who has built Express apps in\nthe past already knows it. Secondly, I find `extends` and `block` to be\nindispensable, which as far as I know, Handlebars does not have out of the box.\nAnd lastly, subjectively speaking, Jade looks much cleaner and shorter than\nHandlebars, or any non-HAML style for that matter.\n\n### Why do you have all routes defined in app.js?\n\nFor the sake of simplicity. While there might be a better approach, such as\npassing `app` context to each controller as outlined in this\n[blog](http://timstermatic.github.io/blog/2013/08/17/a-simple-mvc-framework-with-node-and-express/),\nI find such style to be confusing for beginners. It took me a long time to grasp\nthe concept of `exports` and `module.exports`, let alone having a global `app`\nreference in other files. That to me is backward thinking. The `app.js` is the\n\"heart of the app\", it should be the one referencing models, routes,\ncontrollers, etc. When working solo on small projects, I prefer to have\neverything inside `app.js` as is the case with\n[this](<(https://github.com/sahat/ember-sass-express-starter/blob/master/app.js)>)\nREST API server.\n\n### How do I switch SendGrid for another email delivery service, like Mailgun or SparkPost?\n\nInside the `nodemailer.createTransport` method arguments, change the service\nfrom `'Sendgrid'` to some other email service. Also, be sure to update both\nusername and password below that. See the\n[list of all supported services](https://github.com/nodemailer/nodemailer-wellknown#supported-services)\nby Nodemailer.\n\n## How It Works (mini guides)\n\nThis section is intended for giving you a detailed explanation of how a\nparticular functionality works. Maybe you are just curious about how it works,\nor perhaps you are lost and confused while reading the code, I hope it provides\nsome guidance to you.\n\n### Custom HTML and CSS Design 101\n\n[HTML5 UP](http://html5up.net/) has many beautiful templates that you can\ndownload for free.\n\nWhen you download the ZIP file, it will come with _index.html_, _images_, _css_\nand _js_ folders. So, how do you integrate it with Hackathon Starter? Hackathon\nStarter uses Bootstrap CSS framework, but these templates do not. Trying to use\nboth CSS files at the same time will likely result in undesired effects.\n\n**Note:** Using the custom templates approach, you should understand that you\ncannot reuse any of the views I have created: layout, home page, api browser,\nlogin, signup, account management, contact. Those views were built using\nBootstrap grid and styles. You will have to manually update the grid using a\ndifferent syntax provided in the template. **Having said that, you can mix and\nmatch if you want to do so: Use Bootstrap for main app interface, and a custom\ntemplate for a landing page.**\n\nLet's start from the beginning. For this example I will use\n[Escape Velocity](http://html5up.net/escape-velocity/) template:\n![Alt](http://html5up.net/uploads/images/escape-velocity.jpg)\n\n**Note:** For the sake of simplicity I will only consider `index.html`, and skip\n`left-sidebar.html`, `no-sidebar.html`, `right-sidebar.html`.\n\nMove all JavaScript files from `html5up-escape-velocity/js` to `public/js`. Then\nmove all CSS files from `html5up-escape-velocity/css` to `public/css`. And\nfinally, move all images from `html5up-escape-velocity/images` to\n`public/images`. You could move it to the existing **img** folder, but that\nwould require manually changing every `img` reference. Grab the contents of\n`index.html` and paste it into [HTML To Pug](https://html-to-pug.com/).\n\n**Note:** Do not forget to update all the CSS and JS paths accordingly.\n\nCreate a new file `escape-velocity.pug` and paste the Pug markup in `views`\nfolder. Whenever you see the code `res.render('account/login')` - that means it\nwill search for `views/account/login.pug` file.\n\nLet's see how it looks. Create a new controller **escapeVelocity** inside\n`controllers/home.js`:\n\n```js\nexports.escapeVelocity = (req, res) => {\n    res.render(\"escape-velocity\", {\n        title: \"Landing Page\",\n    });\n};\n```\n\nAnd then create a route in `app.js`. I placed it right after the index\ncontroller:\n\n```js\napp.get(\"/escape-velocity\", homeController.escapeVelocity);\n```\n\nRestart the server (if you are not using **nodemon**); then you should see the\nnew template at\n[http://localhost:8080/escape-velocity](http://localhost:8080/escape-velocity).\n\nI will stop right here, but if you would like to use this template as more than\njust a single page, take a look at how these Pug templates work: `layout.pug` -\nbase template, `index.pug` - home page, `partials/header.pug` - Bootstrap\nnavbar, `partials/footer.pug` - sticky footer. You will have to manually break\nit apart into smaller pieces. Figure out which part of the template you want to\nkeep the same on all pages - that's your new `layout.pug`. Then, each page that\nchanges, be it `index.pug`, `about.pug`, `contact.pug` will be embedded in your\nnew `layout.pug` via `block content`. Use existing templates as a reference.\n\nThis is a rather lengthy process, and templates you get from elsewhere might\nhave yet another grid system. That's why I chose _Bootstrap_ for the Hackathon\nStarter. Many people are already familiar with _Bootstrap_, plus it's easy to\nget started with it if you have never used _Bootstrap_. You can also buy many\nbeautifully designed _Bootstrap_ themes at\n[Themeforest](http://themeforest.net/), and use them as a drop-in replacement\nfor Hackathon Starter. However, if you would like to go with a completely custom\nHTML/CSS design, this should help you to get started!\n\n<hr>\n\n### How do flash messages work in this project?\n\nFlash messages allow you to display a message at the end of the request and\naccess it on next request and only next request. For instance, on a failed login\nattempt, you would display an alert with some error message, but as soon as you\nrefresh that page or visit a different page and come back to the login page,\nthat error message will be gone. It is only displayed once. This project uses\n_express-flash_ module for flash messages. And that module is built on top of\n_connect-flash_, which is what I used in this project initially. With\n_express-flash_ you don't have to explicitly send a flash message to every view\ninside `res.render()`. All flash messages are available in your views via\n`messages` object by default, thanks to _express-flash_.\n\nFlash messages have a two-step process. You use\n`req.flash('errors', { msg: 'Error messages goes here' }` to create a flash\nmessage in your controllers, and then display them in your views:\n\n```pug\nif messages.errors\n  .alert.alert-danger.fade.in\n    for error in messages.errors\n      div= error.msg\n```\n\nIn the first step, `'errors'` is the name of a flash message, which should match\nthe name of the property on `messages` object in your views. You place alert\nmessages inside `if message.errors` because you don't want to show them flash\nmessages are present. The reason why you pass an error like\n`{ msg: 'Error message goes here' }` instead of just a string -\n`'Error message goes here'`, is for the sake of consistency. To clarify that,\n_express-validator_ module which is used for validating and sanitizing user's\ninput, returns all errors as an array of objects, where each object has a `msg`\nproperty with a message why an error has occurred. Here is a more general\nexample of what express-validator returns when there are errors present:\n\n```js\n[\n    { param: \"name\", msg: \"Name is required\", value: \"<received input>\" },\n    {\n        param: \"email\",\n        msg: \"A valid email is required\",\n        value: \"<received input>\",\n    },\n];\n```\n\nTo keep consistent with that style, you should pass all flash messages as\n`{ msg: 'My flash message' }` instead of a string. Otherwise, you will see an\nalert box without an error message. That is because in **partials/flash.pug**\ntemplate it will try to output `error.msg` (i.e. `\"My flash message\".msg`), in\nother words, it will try to call a `msg` method on a _String_ object, which will\nreturn _undefined_. Everything I just mentioned about errors, also applies to\n\"info\" and \"success\" flash messages, and you could even create a new one\nyourself, such as:\n\n**Data Usage Controller (Example)**\n\n```\nreq.flash('warning', { msg: 'You have exceeded 90% of your data usage' });\n```\n\n**User Account Page (Example)**\n\n```pug\nif messages.warning\n  .alert.alert-warning.fade.in\n    for warning in messages.warning\n      div= warning.msg\n```\n\n`partials/flash.pug` is a partial template that contains how flash messages are\nformatted. Previously, flash messages were scattered throughout each view that\nused flash messages (contact, login, signup, profile), but now, thankfully it\nuses a _DRY_ approach.\n\nThe flash messages partial template is _included_ in the `layout.pug`, along\nwith footer and navigation.\n\n```pug\nbody\n    include partials/header\n\n    .container\n      include partials/flash\n      block content\n\n    include partials/footer\n```\n\nIf you have any further questions about flash messages, please feel free to open\nan issue, and I will update this mini-guide accordingly, or send a pull request\nif you would like to include something that I missed.\n\n<hr>\n\n### How do I create a new page?\n\nA more correct way to say this would be \"How do I create a new route?\" The main\nfile `app.js` contains all the routes. Each route has a callback function\nassociated with it. Sometimes you will see three or more arguments for a route.\nIn a case like that, the first argument is still a URL string, while middle\narguments are what's called middleware. Think of middleware as a door. If this\ndoor prevents you from continuing forward, you won't get to your callback\nfunction. One such example is a route that requires authentication.\n\n```js\napp.get(\"/account\", passportConfig.isAuthenticated, userController.getAccount);\n```\n\nIt always goes from left to right. A user visits `/account` page. Then\n`isAuthenticated` middleware checks if you are authenticated:\n\n```js\nexports.isAuthenticated = (req, res, next) => {\n    if (req.isAuthenticated()) {\n        return next();\n    }\n    res.redirect(\"/login\");\n};\n```\n\nIf you are authenticated, you let this visitor pass through your \"door\" by\ncalling `return next();`. It then proceeds to the next middleware until it\nreaches the last argument, which is a callback function that typically renders a\ntemplate on `GET` requests or redirects on `POST` requests. In this case, if you\nare authenticated, you will be redirected to the _Account Management_ page;\notherwise, you will be redirected to the _Login_ page.\n\n```js\nexports.getAccount = (req, res) => {\n    res.render(\"account/profile\", {\n        title: \"Account Management\",\n    });\n};\n```\n\nExpress.js has `app.get`, `app.post`, `app.put`, `app.delete`, but for the most\npart, you will only use the first two HTTP verbs, unless you are building a\nRESTful API. If you just want to display a page, then use `GET`, if you are\nsubmitting a form, sending a file then use `POST`.\n\nHere is a typical workflow for adding new routes to your application. Let's say\nwe are building a page that lists all books from the database.\n\n**Step 1.** Start by defining a route.\n\n```js\napp.get(\"/books\", bookController.getBooks);\n```\n\n---\n\n**Note:** As of Express 4.x you can define your routes like so:\n\n```js\napp.route(\"/books\")\n    .get(bookController.getBooks)\n    .post(bookController.createBooks)\n    .put(bookController.updateBooks)\n    .delete(bookController.deleteBooks);\n```\n\nAnd here is how a route would look if it required an _authentication_ and an\n_authorization_ middleware:\n\n```js\napp.route(\"/api/twitter\")\n    .all(passportConfig.isAuthenticated)\n    .all(passportConfig.isAuthorized)\n    .get(apiController.getTwitter)\n    .post(apiController.postTwitter);\n```\n\nUse whichever style that makes sense to you. Either one is acceptable. I think\nthat chaining HTTP verbs on `app.route` is a very clean and elegant approach,\nbut on the other hand, I can no longer see all my routes at a glance when you\nhave one route per line.\n\n**Step 2.** Create a new schema and a model `Book.js` inside the _models_\ndirectory.\n\n```js\nconst mongoose = require(\"mongoose\");\n\nconst bookSchema = new mongoose.Schema({\n    name: String,\n});\n\nconst Book = mongoose.model(\"Book\", bookSchema);\nmodule.exports = Book;\n```\n\n**Step 3.** Create a new controller file called `book.js` inside the\n_controllers_ directory.\n\n```js\n/**\n * GET /books\n * List all books.\n */\nconst Book = require(\"../models/Book.js\");\n\nexports.getBooks = (req, res) => {\n    Book.find((err, docs) => {\n        res.render(\"books\", { books: docs });\n    });\n};\n```\n\n**Step 4.** Import that controller in `app.js`.\n\n```js\nconst bookController = require(\"./controllers/book\");\n```\n\n**Step 5.** Create `books.pug` template.\n\n```pug\nextends layout\n\nblock content\n  .page-header\n    h3 All Books\n\n  ul\n    for book in books\n      li= book.name\n```\n\nThat's it! I will say that you could have combined Step 1, 2, 3 as following:\n\n```js\napp.get(\"/books\", (req, res) => {\n    Book.find((err, docs) => {\n        res.render(\"books\", { books: docs });\n    });\n});\n```\n\nSure, it's simpler, but as soon as you pass 1000 lines of code in `app.js` it\nbecomes a little challenging to navigate the file. I mean, the whole point of\nthis boilerplate project was to separate concerns, so you could work with your\nteammates without running into _MERGE CONFLICTS_. Imagine you have four\ndevelopers working on a single `app.js`, I promise you it won't be fun resolving\nmerge conflicts all the time. If you are the only developer, then it's okay. But\nas I said, once it gets up to a certain LoC size, it becomes difficult to\nmaintain everything in a single file.\n\nThat's all there is to it. Express.js is super simple to use. Most of the time\nyou will be dealing with other APIs to do the real work:\n[Mongoose](http://mongoosejs.com/docs/guide.html) for querying database,\nsocket.io for sending and receiving messages over websockets, sending emails via\n[Nodemailer](http://nodemailer.com/), form validation using\n[express-validator](https://github.com/ctavan/express-validator) library,\nparsing websites using [Cheerio](https://github.com/cheeriojs/cheerio), etc.\n\n<hr>\n\n### How do I use Socket.io with Hackathon Starter?\n\n[Dan Stroot](https://github.com/dstroot) submitted an excellent\n[pull request](https://github.com/dstroot/hackathon-starter/commit/0a632def1ce8da446709d92812423d337c977d75)\nthat adds a real-time dashboard with socket.io. And as much as I'd like to add\nit to the project, I think it violates one of the main principles of the\nHackathon Starter:\n\n> When I started this project, my primary focus was on simplicity and ease of\n> use. I also tried to make it as generic and reusable as possible to cover most\n> use cases of hackathon web apps, **without being too specific**.\n\nWhen I need to use socket.io, I **really** need it, but most of the time - I\ndon't. But more importantly, websockets support is still experimental on most\nhosting providers. As of October 2013, Heroku supports websockets, but not until\nyou opt-in by running this command:\n\n```js\nheroku labs:enable websockets -a myapp\n```\n\nAnd what if you are deploying to OpenShift? They do support websockets, but it\nis currently in a preview state. So, for OpenShift you would need to change the\nsocket.io connect URI to the following:\n\n```js\nconst socket = io.connect(\"http://yoursite-namespace.rhcloud.com:8000\");\n```\n\nWait, why is it on port 8000? Who knows, and if I didn't run across this\n[blog post](http://velin-georgiev-blog.appspot.com/blog/set-up-nodejs-express-socketio-application-using-websockets-on-openshift-by-red-hat/)\nI wouldn't even know I had to use port 8000.\n\nI am really glad that Heroku and OpenShift at least have a websockets support,\nbecause many other PaaS providers still do not support it. Due to the\naforementioned issues with websockets, I cannot include socket.io as part of the\nHackathon Starter. _For now..._ If you need to use socket.io in your app, please\ncontinue reading.\n\nFirst, you need to install socket.io:\n\n```js\nnpm install socket.io\n```\n\nReplace `const app = express();` with the following code:\n\n```js\nconst app = express();\nconst server = require(\"http\").Server(app);\nconst io = require(\"socket.io\")(server);\n```\n\nI like to have the following code organization in `app.js` (from top to bottom):\nmodule dependencies, import controllers, import configs, connect to database,\nexpress configuration, routes, start the server, socket.io stuff. That way I\nalways know where to look for things.\n\nAdd the following code at the end of `app.js`:\n\n```js\nio.on(\"connection\", (socket) => {\n    socket.emit(\"greet\", { hello: \"Hey there browser!\" });\n    socket.on(\"respond\", (data) => {\n        console.log(data);\n    });\n    socket.on(\"disconnect\", () => {\n        console.log(\"Socket disconnected\");\n    });\n});\n```\n\nOne last thing left to change:\n\n```js\napp.listen(app.get('port'), () => {\n```\n\nto\n\n```js\nserver.listen(app.get('port'), () => {\n```\n\nAt this point, we are done with the back-end.\n\nYou now have a choice - to include your JavaScript code in Pug templates or have\nall your client-side JavaScript in a separate file - in `main.js`. I admit, when\nI first started with Node.js and JavaScript in general, I placed all JavaScript\ncode inside templates because I have access to template variables passed in from\nExpress right then and there. It's the easiest thing you can do, but also the\nleast efficient and harder to maintain. Since then I almost never include inline\nJavaScript inside templates anymore.\n\nBut it's also understandable if you want to take the easier road. Most of the\ntime you don't even care about performance during hackathons, you just want to\n[_\"get shit done\"_](https://www.startupvitamins.com/media/products/13/aaron_levie_poster_black.jpg)\nbefore the time runs out. Well, either way, use whichever approach makes more\nsense to you. At the end of the day, it's **what** you build that matters, not\n**how** you build it.\n\nIf you want to stick all your JavaScript inside templates, then in\n`layout.pug` - your main template file, add this to `head` block.\n\n```pug\nscript(src='/socket.io/socket.io.js')\nscript.\n    let socket = io.connect(window.location.href);\n    socket.on('greet', function (data) {\n      console.log(data);\n      socket.emit('respond', { message: 'Hey there, server!' });\n    });\n```\n\n**Note:** Notice the path of the `socket.io.js`, you don't actually have to have\n`socket.io.js` file anywhere in your project; it will be generated automatically\nat runtime.\n\nIf you want to have JavaScript code separate from templates, move that inline\nscript code into `main.js`, inside the `$(document).ready()` function:\n\n```js\n$(document).ready(function () {\n    // Place JavaScript code here...\n    let socket = io.connect(window.location.href);\n    socket.on(\"greet\", function (data) {\n        console.log(data);\n        socket.emit(\"respond\", { message: \"Hey there, server!\" });\n    });\n});\n```\n\nAnd we are done!\n\n## Cheatsheets\n\n### <img src=\"https://frontendmasters.com/assets/es6-logo.png\" height=\"34\" align=\"top\"> ES6 Cheatsheet\n\n#### Declarations\n\nDeclares a read-only named constant.\n\n```js\nconst name = \"yourName\";\n```\n\nDeclares a block scope local variable.\n\n```js\nlet index = 0;\n```\n\n#### Template Strings\n\nUsing the **\\`${}\\`** syntax, strings can embed expressions.\n\n```js\nconst name = \"Oggy\";\nconst age = 3;\n\nconsole.log(`My cat is named ${name} and is ${age} years old.`);\n```\n\n#### Modules\n\nTo import functions, objects or primitives exported from an external module.\nThese are the most common types of importing.\n\n```js\nconst name = require(\"module-name\");\n```\n\n```js\nconst { foo, bar } = require(\"module-name\");\n```\n\nTo export functions, objects or primitives from a given file or module.\n\n```js\nmodule.exports = { myFunction };\n```\n\n```js\nmodule.exports.name = \"yourName\";\n```\n\n```js\nmodule.exports = myFunctionOrClass;\n```\n\n#### Spread Operator\n\nThe spread operator allows an expression to be expanded in places where multiple\narguments (for function calls) or multiple elements (for array literals) are\nexpected.\n\n```js\nmyFunction(...iterableObject);\n```\n\n```jsx\n<ChildComponent {...this.props} />\n```\n\n#### Promises\n\nA Promise is used in asynchronous computations to represent an operation that\nhasn't completed yet, but is expected in the future.\n\n```js\nvar p = new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {});\n```\n\nThe `catch()` method returns a Promise and deals with rejected cases only.\n\n```js\np.catch(function (reason) {\n    /* handle rejection */\n});\n```\n\nThe `then()` method returns a Promise. It takes two arguments: callback for the\nsuccess & failure cases.\n\n```js\np.then(\n    function (value) {\n        /* handle fulfillment */\n    },\n    function (reason) {\n        /* handle rejection */\n    }\n);\n```\n\nThe `Promise.all(iterable)` method returns a promise that resolves when all of\nthe promises in the iterable argument have resolved or rejects with the reason\nof the first passed promise that rejects.\n\n```js\nPromise.all([p1, p2, p3]).then(function (values) {\n    console.log(values);\n});\n```\n\n#### Arrow Functions\n\nArrow function expression. Shorter syntax & lexically binds the `this` value.\nArrow functions are anonymous.\n\n```js\n(singleParam) => {\n    statements;\n};\n```\n\n```js\n() => {\n    statements;\n};\n```\n\n```js\n(param1, param2) => expression;\n```\n\n```js\nconst arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];\nconst squares = arr.map((x) => x * x);\n```\n\n#### Classes\n\nThe class declaration creates a new class using prototype-based inheritance.\n\n```js\nclass Person {\n    constructor(name, age, gender) {\n        this.name = name;\n        this.age = age;\n        this.gender = gender;\n    }\n\n    incrementAge() {\n        this.age++;\n    }\n}\n```\n\n:gift: **Credits**:\n[DuckDuckGo](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=es6+cheatsheet&ia=cheatsheet&iax=1) and\n[@DrkSephy](https://github.com/DrkSephy/es6-cheatsheet).\n\n:top: <sub>[**back to top**](#table-of-contents)</sub>\n\n### <img src=\"http://i.stack.imgur.com/Mmww2.png\" height=\"34\" align=\"top\"> JavaScript Date Cheatsheet\n\n#### Unix Timestamp (seconds)\n\n```js\nMath.floor(Date.now() / 1000);\n```\n\n```MomentJS\nmoment().unix();\n```\n\n#### Add 30 minutes to a Date object\n\n```js\nvar now = new Date();\nnow.setMinutes(now.getMinutes() + 30);\n```\n\n```MomentJS\nmoment().add(30, 'minutes');\n```\n\n#### Date Formatting\n\n```js\n// DD-MM-YYYY\nvar now = new Date();\n\nvar DD = now.getDate();\nvar MM = now.getMonth() + 1;\nvar YYYY = now.getFullYear();\n\nif (DD < 10) {\n    DD = \"0\" + DD;\n}\n\nif (MM < 10) {\n    MM = \"0\" + MM;\n}\n\nconsole.log(MM + \"-\" + DD + \"-\" + YYYY); // 03-30-2016\n```\n\n```MomentJS\nconsole.log(moment(new Date(), 'MM-DD-YYYY'));\n```\n\n```js\n// hh:mm (12 hour time with am/pm)\nvar now = new Date();\nvar hours = now.getHours();\nvar minutes = now.getMinutes();\nvar amPm = hours >= 12 ? \"pm\" : \"am\";\n\nhours = hours % 12;\nhours = hours ? hours : 12;\nminutes = minutes < 10 ? \"0\" + minutes : minutes;\n\nconsole.log(hours + \":\" + minutes + \" \" + amPm); // 1:43 am\n```\n\n```MomentJS\nconsole.log(moment(new Date(), 'hh:mm A'));\n```\n\n#### Next week Date object\n\n```js\nvar today = new Date();\nvar nextWeek = new Date(today.getTime() + 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);\n```\n\n```MomentJS\nmoment().add(7, 'days');\n```\n\n#### Yesterday Date object\n\n```js\nvar today = new Date();\nvar yesterday = date.setDate(date.getDate() - 1);\n```\n\n```MomentJS\nmoment().add(-1, 'days');\n```\n\n:top: <sub>[**back to top**](#table-of-contents)</sub>\n\n### Mongoose Cheatsheet\n\n#### Find all users:\n\n```js\nUser.find((err, users) => {\n    console.log(users);\n});\n```\n\n#### Find a user by email:\n\n```js\nlet userEmail = \"example@gmail.com\";\nUser.findOne({ email: userEmail }, (err, user) => {\n    console.log(user);\n});\n```\n\n#### Find 5 most recent user accounts:\n\n```js\nUser.find()\n    .sort({ _id: -1 })\n    .limit(5)\n    .exec((err, users) => {\n        console.log(users);\n    });\n```\n\n#### Get the total count of a field from all documents:\n\nLet's suppose that each user has a `votes` field and you would like to count the\ntotal number of votes in your database across all users. One very inefficient\nway would be to loop through each document and manually accumulate the count. Or\nyou could use\n[MongoDB Aggregation Framework](https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/core/aggregation-introduction/)\ninstead:\n\n```js\nUser.aggregate(\n    { $group: { _id: null, total: { $sum: \"$votes\" } } },\n    (err, votesCount) => {\n        console.log(votesCount.total);\n    }\n);\n```\n\n:top: <sub>[**back to top**](#table-of-contents)</sub>\n\n## Docker\n\nYou will need docker and docker-compose installed to build the application.\n\n-   [Docker installation](https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/)\n\n-   [Common problems setting up docker](https://docs.docker.com/toolbox/faqs/troubleshoot/)\n\nAfter installing docker, start the application with the following commands :\n\n```\n# To build the project for the first time or when you add dependencies\ndocker-compose build web\n\n# To start the application (or to restart after making changes to the source code)\ndocker-compose up web\n\n```\n\nTo view the app, find your docker IP address + port 8080 ( this will typically\nbe http://localhost:8080/ ). To use a port other than 8080, you would need to\nmodify the port in app.js, Dockerfile, and docker-compose.yml.\n\n## Deployment\n\nOnce you are ready to deploy your app, you will need to create an account with a\ncloud platform to host it. These are not the only choices, but they are my top\npicks. From my experience, the easiest way to get started is with **Heroku**. It\nwill automatically restart your Node.js process when it crashes, has\nzero-downtime deployments and supports custom domains on free accounts.\nAdditionally, you can create an account with **MongoDB Atlas** and then pick one\nof the _4_ providers below. Again, there are plenty of other choices, and you\nare not limited to just the ones listed below.\n\n### Deployment to Heroku\n\n<img src=\"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a9/Heroku_logo.png\" width=\"200\">\n\n-   Download and install [Heroku Toolbelt](https://toolbelt.heroku.com/)\n-   In a terminal, run `heroku login` and enter your Heroku credentials\n-   From _your app_ directory run `heroku create`\n-   Use the command `heroku config:set KEY=val` to set the different environment\n    variables (KEY=val) for your application (i.e.\n    `heroku config:set BASE_URL=[heroku App Name].herokuapp.com` or\n    `heroku config:set MONGODB_URI=mongodb://dbuser:<password>@cluster0-shard-00-00-sdf32.mongodb.net:27017,cluster0-shard-00-01-sdf32.mongodb.net:27017/<dbname>?ssl=true&retryWrites=true&w=majority`\n    (see Hosted MongoDB Atlas below), etc.) Make sure to set the environment\n    variables for SENDGRID_USER, SENDGRID_PASSWORD, and any other API that you\n    are using as well.\n-   Lastly, do `git push heroku master`.\n\nPlease note that you may also use the\n[Herko Dashboard](https://dashboard.heroku.com) to set or modify the\nconfigurations for your application.\n\n---\n\n### Hosted MongoDB Atlas\n\n<img src=\"https://www.mongodb.com/assets/images/global/MongoDB_Logo_Dark.svg\" width=\"200\">\n\n-   Go to\n    [https://www.mongodb.com/cloud/atlas](https://www.mongodb.com/cloud/atlas)\n-   Click the green **Get started free** button\n-   Fill in your information then hit **Get started free**\n-   You will be redirected to Create New Cluster page.\n-   Select a **Cloud Provider and Region** (such as AWS and a free tier region)\n-   Select cluster Tier to **Free Shared Clusters**\n-   Give Cluster a name (default: Cluster0)\n-   Click on green **:zap:Create Cluster button**\n-   Now, to access your database you need to create a DB user. To create a new\n    MongoDB user, from the **Clusters view**, select the **Security tab**\n-   Under the **MongoDB Users** tab, click on **+Add New User**\n-   Fill in a username and password and give it either **Atlas Admin** User\n    Privilege\n-   Next, you will need to create an IP address whitelist and obtain the\n    connection URI. In the Clusters view, under the cluster details (i.e.\n    SANDBOX - Cluster0), click on the **CONNECT** button.\n-   Under section **(1) Check the IP Whitelist**, click on **ALLOW ACCESS FROM\n    ANYWHERE**. The form will add a field with `0.0.0.0/0`. Click **SAVE** to\n    save the `0.0.0.0/0` whitelist.\n-   Under section **(2) Choose a connection method**, click on **Connect Your\n    Application**\n-   In the new screen, select **Node.js** as Driver and version **2.2.12 or\n    later**. _*WARNING*_: Do not pick 3.0 or later since connect-mongo can't\n    handle mongodb+srv:// connection strings.\n-   Finally, copy the URI connection string and replace the URI in MONGODB_URI\n    of `.env.example` with this URI string. Make sure to replace the <PASSWORD>\n    with the db User password that you created under the Security tab.\n-   Note that after some of the steps in the Atlas UI, you may see a banner\n    stating `We are deploying your changes`. You will need to wait for the\n    deployment to finish before using the DB in your application.\n\n**Note:** As an alternative to MongoDB Atlas, there is also\n[Compose](https://www.compose.io/).\n\n---\n\n### OpenShift\n\n<img src=\"http://www.opencloudconf.com/images/openshift_logo.png\" width=\"200\">\n**NOTE** *These instructions might be out of date due to changes in OpenShift. Heroku is currently a good free alternative.  If you the new process, please feel free to help us update this page*\n\n-   First, install this Ruby gem: `sudo gem install rhc` :gem:\n-   Run `rhc login` and enter your OpenShift credentials\n-   From your app directory run `rhc app create MyApp nodejs-0.10`\n-   **Note:** _MyApp_ is the name of your app (no spaces)\n-   Once that is done, you will be provided with **URL**, **SSH** and **Git\n    Remote** links\n-   Visit provided **URL**, and you should see the _Welcome to your Node.js\n    application on OpenShift_ page\n-   Copy and paste **Git Remote** into\n    `git remote add openshift YOUR_GIT_REMOTE`\n-   Before you push your app, you need to do a few modifications to your code\n\nAdd these two lines to `app.js`, just place them anywhere before `app.listen()`:\n\n```js\nvar IP_ADDRESS = process.env.OPENSHIFT_NODEJS_IP || \"127.0.0.1\";\nvar PORT = process.env.OPENSHIFT_NODEJS_PORT || 8080;\n```\n\nThen change `app.listen()` to:\n\n```js\napp.listen(PORT, IP_ADDRESS, () => {\n    console.log(\n        `Express server listening on port ${PORT} in ${app.settings.env} mode`\n    );\n});\n```\n\nAdd this to `package.json`, after _name_ and _version_. This is necessary\nbecause, by default, OpenShift looks for `server.js` file. And by specifying\n`supervisor app.js` it will automatically restart the server when node.js\nprocess crashes.\n\n```js\n\"main\": \"app.js\",\n\"scripts\": {\n  \"start\": \"supervisor app.js\"\n},\n```\n\n-   Finally, you can now push your code to OpenShift by running\n    `git push -f openshift master`\n-   **Note:** The first time you run this command, you have to pass `-f` (force)\n    flag because OpenShift creates a dummy server with the welcome page when you\n    create a new Node.js app. Passing `-f` flag will override everything with\n    your _Hackathon Starter_ project repository. **Do not** run `git pull` as it\n    will create unnecessary merge conflicts.\n-   And you are done!\n\n---\n\n### Azure\n\n<img src=\"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/ff/Windows_Azure_logo.png\" width=\"200\">\n**NOTE** *Beyond the initial 12 month trial of Azure, the platform does not seem to offer a free tier for hosting NodeJS apps.  If you are looking for a free tier service to host your app, Heroku might be a better choice at this point*\n\n-   Login to [Windows Azure Management Portal](https://manage.windowsazure.com/)\n-   Click the **+ NEW** button on the bottom left of the portal\n-   Click **COMPUTE**, then **WEB APP**, then **QUICK CREATE**\n-   Enter a name for **URL** and select the datacenter **REGION** for your web\n    site\n-   Click on **CREATE WEB APP** button\n-   Once the web site status changes to _Running_, click on the name of the web\n    site to access the Dashboard\n-   At the bottom right of the Quickstart page, select **Set up a deployment\n    from source control**\n-   Select **Local Git repository** from the list, and then click the arrow\n-   To enable Git publishing, Azure will ask you to create a user name and\n    password\n-   Once the Git repository is ready, you will be presented with a **GIT URL**\n-   Inside your _Hackathon Starter_ directory, run\n    `git remote add azure [Azure Git URL]`\n-   To push your changes run `git push azure master`\n-   **Note:** _You will be prompted for the password you created earlier_\n-   On **Deployments** tab of your Windows Azure Web App, you will see the\n    deployment history\n\n---\n\n## IBM Bluemix Cloud Platform\n\n**NOTE** _At this point it appears that Bluemix's free tier to host NodeJS apps\nis limited to 30 days.

you have attended any hackathons in the past, then you know how much time it\ntakes to get a project started: decide on what to build, pick a programming\nlanguage, pick a web framework, pick a CSS framework. A while later, you might\nhave an initial project up on GitHub and only then can other team members start\ncontributing. Or how about doing something as simple as _Sign in with Facebook_\nauthentication? You can spend hours on it if you are not familiar with how OAuth\n2.0 works.\n\nWhen I started this project, my primary focus was on **simplicity** and **ease\nof use**. I also tried to make it as **generic** and **reusable** as possible to\ncover most use cases of hackathon web apps, without being too specific. In the\nworst case, you can use this as a learning guide for your projects, if for\nexample you are only interested in **Sign in with Google** authentication and\nnothing else.\n\n### Testimonials\n\n> [**“Nice!

Alternatively, here is\nanother great tutorial for complete beginners -\n[Getting Started With Node.js, Express, MongoDB](http://cwbuecheler.com/web/tutorials/2013/node-express-mongo/).\n\n## Getting Started\n\nThe easiest way to get started is to clone the repository:\n\n```bash\n# Get the latest snapshot\ngit clone https://github.com/sahat/hackathon-starter.git myproject\n\n# Change directory\ncd myproject\n\n# Install NPM dependencies\nnpm install\n\n# Then simply start your app\nnode app.js\n```\n\n**Warning:** If you want to use some API that need https to work (for example\nPinterest or facebook), you will need to download [ngrok](https://ngrok.com/).\nYou must start ngrok after starting the project.\n\n```bash\n# start ngrok to intercept the data exchanged on port 8080\n./ngrok http 8080\n```\n\nNext, you must use the https URL defined by ngrok, for example,\n`https://hackaton.ngrok.io`\n\n**Note:** I highly recommend installing\n[Nodemon](https://github.com/remy/nodemon). It watches for any changes in your\nnode.js app and automatically restarts the server. Once installed, instead of\n`node app.js` use `nodemon app.js`. It will save you a lot of time in the long\nrun, because you won't need to manually restart the server each time you make a\nsmall change in code. To install, run `sudo npm install -g nodemon`.\n\n## Obtaining API Keys\n\nTo use any of the included APIs or OAuth authentication methods, you will need\nto obtain appropriate credentials: Client ID, Client Secret, API Key, or\nUsername & Password. You will need to go through each provider to generate new\ncredentials.\n\n<img src=\"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ad/RecaptchaLogo.svg/200px-RecaptchaLogo.svg.png\" width=\"200\">\n\n-   Visit\n    <a href=\"https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin\" target=\"_blank\">Google\n    reCAPTCHA Admin Console</a>\n-   Enter your application's name as the **Label**\n-   Chose **reCAPTCHA v2**, **\"I'm not a robot\" Checkbox**\n-   Enter _localhost_ as the domain. You can have other domains added in\n    addition to _localhost_\n-   Accept the terms and submit the form\n-   Copy the _Site Key_ and the _Secret key_ into `.env`. These keys will be\n    accessible under Settings, reCAPTCHA keys drop down if you need them again\n    later.\n\n<hr>\n\n<img src=\"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2f/Google_2015_logo.svg/1000px-Google_2015_logo.svg.png\" width=\"200\">\n\n-   Visit\n    <a href=\"https://cloud.google.com/console/project\" target=\"_blank\">Google\n    Cloud Console</a>\n-   Click on the **Create Project** button\n-   Enter _Project Name_, then click on **Create** button\n-   Then click on _APIs & auth_ in the sidebar and select _API_ tab\n-   Click on **Google+ API** under _Social APIs_, then click **Enable API**\n-   Click on **Google Drive API** under _G Suite_, then click **Enable API**\n-   Click on **Google Sheets API** under _G Suite_, then click **Enable API**\n-   Next, under _APIs & auth_ in the sidebar click on _Credentials_ tab\n-   Click on **Create new Client ID** button\n-   Select _Web Application_ and click on **Configure Consent Screen**\n-   Fill out the required fields then click on **Save**\n-   In the _Create Client ID_ modal dialog:\n-   **Application Type**: Web Application\n-   **Authorized Javascript origins**: http://localhost:8080\n-   **Authorized redirect URI**: http://localhost:8080/auth/google/callback\n-   Click on **Create Client ID** button\n-   Copy and paste _Client ID_ and _Client secret_ keys into `.env`\n\n**Note:** When you ready to deploy to production don't forget to add your new\nURL to _Authorized Javascript origins_ and _Authorized redirect URI_, e.g.\n`http://my-awesome-app.herokuapp.com` and\n`http://my-awesome-app.herokuapp.com/auth/google/callback` respectively.

when you\n    need to run multiple asynchronous tasks, and then render a page, but only\n    when all tasks are completed. For example, you might want to scrape three\n    different websites for some data and render the results in a template after\n    all three websites have been scraped.\n-   Need to find a specific object inside an Array? Use\n    [\\_.find](http://lodash.com/docs#find) function from Lodash. For example,\n    this is how you would retrieve a Twitter token from database:\n    `var token = _.find(req.user.tokens, { kind: 'twitter' });`, where 1st\n    parameter is an array, and a 2nd parameter is an object to search for.\n\n## FAQ\n\n### Why do I get `403 Error: Forbidden` when submitting a form?\n\nYou need to add the following hidden input element to your form. This has been\nadded in the\n[pull request #40](https://github.com/sahat/hackathon-starter/pull/40) as part\nof the CSRF protection.\n\n```\ninput(type='hidden', name='_csrf', value=_csrf)\n```\n\n**Note:** It is now possible to whitelist certain URLs. In other words you can\nspecify a list of routes that should bypass CSRF verification check.\n\n**Note 2:** To whitelist dynamic URLs use regular expression tests inside the\nCSRF middleware to see if `req.originalUrl` matches your desired pattern.\n\n### I am getting MongoDB Connection Error, how do I fix it?\n\nThat's a custom error message defined in `app.js` to indicate that there was a\nproblem connecting to MongoDB:\n\n```js\nmongoose.connection.on(\"error\", (err) => {\n    console.error(err);\n    console.log(\n        \"%s MongoDB connection error. Please make sure MongoDB is running.\",\n        chalk.red(\"✗\")\n    );\n    process.exit();\n});\n```\n\nYou need to have a MongoDB server running before launching `app.js`. You can\ndownload MongoDB [here](https://www.mongodb.com/download-center/community), or\ninstall it via a package manager.\n<img src=\"http://dc942d419843af05523b-ff74ae13537a01be6cfec5927837dcfe.r14.cf1.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/windows-8-50x50.jpg\" height=\"17\">\nWindows users, read\n[Install MongoDB on Windows](https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-windows/).\n\n**Tip:** If you are always connected to the internet, you could just use\n[MongoDB Atlas](https://www.mongodb.com/cloud/atlas) or\n[Compose](https://www.compose.io/) instead of downloading and installing MongoDB\nlocally. You will only need to update database credentials in `.env` file.\n\n### I get an error when I deploy my app, why?\n\nChances are you haven't changed the _Database URI_ in `.env`. If `MONGODB` is\nset to `localhost`, it will only work on your machine as long as MongoDB is\nrunning. When you deploy to Heroku, OpenShift or some other provider, you will\nnot have MongoDB running on `localhost`. You need to create an account with\n[MongoDB Atlas](https://www.mongodb.com/cloud/atlas) or\n[Compose](https://www.compose.io/), then create a free tier database. See\n[Deployment](#deployment) for more information on how to setup an account and a\nnew database step-by-step with MongoDB Atlas.\n\n### Why Pug (Jade) instead of Handlebars?\n\nWhen I first started this project I didn't have any experience with Handlebars.\nSince then I have worked on Ember.js apps and got myself familiar with the\nHandlebars syntax. While it is true Handlebars is easier, because it looks like\ngood old HTML, I have no regrets picking Jade over Handlebars. First off, it's\nthe default template engine in Express, so someone who has built Express apps in\nthe past already knows it. Secondly, I find `extends` and `block` to be\nindispensable, which as far as I know, Handlebars does not have out of the box.\nAnd lastly, subjectively speaking, Jade looks much cleaner and shorter than\nHandlebars, or any non-HAML style for that matter.\n\n### Why do you have all routes defined in app.js?\n\nFor the sake of simplicity. While there might be a better approach, such as\npassing `app` context to each controller as outlined in this\n[blog](http://timstermatic.github.io/blog/2013/08/17/a-simple-mvc-framework-with-node-and-express/),\nI find such style to be confusing for beginners. It took me a long time to grasp\nthe concept of `exports` and `module.exports`, let alone having a global `app`\nreference in other files. That to me is backward thinking. The `app.js` is the\n\"heart of the app\", it should be the one referencing models, routes,\ncontrollers, etc. When working solo on small projects, I prefer to have\neverything inside `app.js` as is the case with\n[this](<(https://github.com/sahat/ember-sass-express-starter/blob/master/app.js)>)\nREST API server.\n\n### How do I switch SendGrid for another email delivery service, like Mailgun or SparkPost?\n\nInside the `nodemailer.createTransport` method arguments, change the service\nfrom `'Sendgrid'` to some other email service. Also, be sure to update both\nusername and password below that. See the\n[list of all supported services](https://github.com/nodemailer/nodemailer-wellknown#supported-services)\nby Nodemailer.\n\n## How It Works (mini guides)\n\nThis section is intended for giving you a detailed explanation of how a\nparticular functionality works. Maybe you are just curious about how it works,\nor perhaps you are lost and confused while reading the code, I hope it provides\nsome guidance to you.\n\n### Custom HTML and CSS Design 101\n\n[HTML5 UP](http://html5up.net/) has many beautiful templates that you can\ndownload for free.\n\nWhen you download the ZIP file, it will come with _index.html_, _images_, _css_\nand _js_ folders. So, how do you integrate it with Hackathon Starter? Hackathon\nStarter uses Bootstrap CSS framework, but these templates do not. Trying to use\nboth CSS files at the same time will likely result in undesired effects.\n\n**Note:** Using the custom templates approach, you should understand that you\ncannot reuse any of the views I have created: layout, home page, api browser,\nlogin, signup, account management, contact. Those views were built using\nBootstrap grid and styles. You will have to manually update the grid using a\ndifferent syntax provided in the template. **Having said that, you can mix and\nmatch if you want to do so: Use Bootstrap for main app interface, and a custom\ntemplate for a landing page.**\n\nLet's start from the beginning. For this example I will use\n[Escape Velocity](http://html5up.net/escape-velocity/) template:\n![Alt](http://html5up.net/uploads/images/escape-velocity.jpg)\n\n**Note:** For the sake of simplicity I will only consider `index.html`, and skip\n`left-sidebar.html`, `no-sidebar.html`, `right-sidebar.html`.\n\nMove all JavaScript files from `html5up-escape-velocity/js` to `public/js`. Then\nmove all CSS files from `html5up-escape-velocity/css` to `public/css`. And\nfinally, move all images from `html5up-escape-velocity/images` to\n`public/images`. You could move it to the existing **img** folder, but that\nwould require manually changing every `img` reference. Grab the contents of\n`index.html` and paste it into [HTML To Pug](https://html-to-pug.com/).\n\n**Note:** Do not forget to update all the CSS and JS paths accordingly.\n\nCreate a new file `escape-velocity.pug` and paste the Pug markup in `views`\nfolder. Whenever you see the code `res.render('account/login')` - that means it\nwill search for `views/account/login.pug` file.\n\nLet's see how it looks. Create a new controller **escapeVelocity** inside\n`controllers/home.js`:\n\n```js\nexports.escapeVelocity = (req, res) => {\n    res.render(\"escape-velocity\", {\n        title: \"Landing Page\",\n    });\n};\n```\n\nAnd then create a route in `app.js`. I placed it right after the index\ncontroller:\n\n```js\napp.get(\"/escape-velocity\", homeController.escapeVelocity);\n```\n\nRestart the server (if you are not using **nodemon**); then you should see the\nnew template at\n[http://localhost:8080/escape-velocity](http://localhost:8080/escape-velocity).\n\nI will stop right here, but if you would like to use this template as more than\njust a single page, take a look at how these Pug templates work: `layout.pug` -\nbase template, `index.pug` - home page, `partials/header.pug` - Bootstrap\nnavbar, `partials/footer.pug` - sticky footer. You will have to manually break\nit apart into smaller pieces. Figure out which part of the template you want to\nkeep the same on all pages - that's your new `layout.pug`. Then, each page that\nchanges, be it `index.pug`, `about.pug`, `contact.pug` will be embedded in your\nnew `layout.pug` via `block content`. Use existing templates as a reference.\n\nThis is a rather lengthy process, and templates you get from elsewhere might\nhave yet another grid system. That's why I chose _Bootstrap_ for the Hackathon\nStarter. Many people are already familiar with _Bootstrap_, plus it's easy to\nget started with it if you have never used _Bootstrap_. You can also buy many\nbeautifully designed _Bootstrap_ themes at\n[Themeforest](http://themeforest.net/), and use them as a drop-in replacement\nfor Hackathon Starter. However, if you would like to go with a completely custom\nHTML/CSS design, this should help you to get started!\n\n<hr>\n\n### How do flash messages work in this project?\n\nFlash messages allow you to display a message at the end of the request and\naccess it on next request and only next request. For instance, on a failed login\nattempt, you would display an alert with some error message, but as soon as you\nrefresh that page or visit a different page and come back to the login page,\nthat error message will be gone. It is only displayed once. This project uses\n_express-flash_ module for flash messages. And that module is built on top of\n_connect-flash_, which is what I used in this project initially. With\n_express-flash_ you don't have to explicitly send a flash message to every view\ninside `res.render()`. All flash messages are available in your views via\n`messages` object by default, thanks to _express-flash_.\n\nFlash messages have a two-step process. You use\n`req.flash('errors', { msg: 'Error messages goes here' }` to create a flash\nmessage in your controllers, and then display them in your views:\n\n```pug\nif messages.errors\n  .alert.alert-danger.fade.in\n    for error in messages.errors\n      div= error.msg\n```\n\nIn the first step, `'errors'` is the name of a flash message, which should match\nthe name of the property on `messages` object in your views. You place alert\nmessages inside `if message.errors` because you don't want to show them flash\nmessages are present. The reason why you pass an error like\n`{ msg: 'Error message goes here' }` instead of just a string -\n`'Error message goes here'`, is for the sake of consistency. To clarify that,\n_express-validator_ module which is used for validating and sanitizing user's\ninput, returns all errors as an array of objects, where each object has a `msg`\nproperty with a message why an error has occurred. Here is a more general\nexample of what express-validator returns when there are errors present:\n\n```js\n[\n    { param: \"name\", msg: \"Name is required\", value: \"<received input>\" },\n    {\n        param: \"email\",\n        msg: \"A valid email is required\",\n        value: \"<received input>\",\n    },\n];\n```\n\nTo keep consistent with that style, you should pass all flash messages as\n`{ msg: 'My flash message' }` instead of a string. Otherwise, you will see an\nalert box without an error message. That is because in **partials/flash.pug**\ntemplate it will try to output `error.msg` (i.e. `\"My flash message\".msg`), in\nother words, it will try to call a `msg` method on a _String_ object, which will\nreturn _undefined_. Everything I just mentioned about errors, also applies to\n\"info\" and \"success\" flash messages, and you could even create a new one\nyourself, such as:\n\n**Data Usage Controller (Example)**\n\n```\nreq.flash('warning', { msg: 'You have exceeded 90% of your data usage' });\n```\n\n**User Account Page (Example)**\n\n```pug\nif messages.warning\n  .alert.alert-warning.fade.in\n    for warning in messages.warning\n      div= warning.msg\n```\n\n`partials/flash.pug` is a partial template that contains how flash messages are\nformatted. Previously, flash messages were scattered throughout each view that\nused flash messages (contact, login, signup, profile), but now, thankfully it\nuses a _DRY_ approach.\n\nThe flash messages partial template is _included_ in the `layout.pug`, along\nwith footer and navigation.\n\n```pug\nbody\n    include partials/header\n\n    .container\n      include partials/flash\n      block content\n\n    include partials/footer\n```\n\nIf you have any further questions about flash messages, please feel free to open\nan issue, and I will update this mini-guide accordingly, or send a pull request\nif you would like to include something that I missed.\n\n<hr>\n\n### How do I create a new page?\n\nA more correct way to say this would be \"How do I create a new route?\" The main\nfile `app.js` contains all the routes. Each route has a callback function\nassociated with it. Sometimes you will see three or more arguments for a route.\nIn a case like that, the first argument is still a URL string, while middle\narguments are what's called middleware. Think of middleware as a door. If this\ndoor prevents you from continuing forward, you won't get to your callback\nfunction. One such example is a route that requires authentication.\n\n```js\napp.get(\"/account\", passportConfig.isAuthenticated, userController.getAccount);\n```\n\nIt always goes from left to right. A user visits `/account` page. Then\n`isAuthenticated` middleware checks if you are authenticated:\n\n```js\nexports.isAuthenticated = (req, res, next) => {\n    if (req.isAuthenticated()) {\n        return next();\n    }\n    res.redirect(\"/login\");\n};\n```\n\nIf you are authenticated, you let this visitor pass through your \"door\" by\ncalling `return next();`. It then proceeds to the next middleware until it\nreaches the last argument, which is a callback function that typically renders a\ntemplate on `GET` requests or redirects on `POST` requests. In this case, if you\nare authenticated, you will be redirected to the _Account Management_ page;\notherwise, you will be redirected to the _Login_ page.\n\n```js\nexports.getAccount = (req, res) => {\n    res.render(\"account/profile\", {\n        title: \"Account Management\",\n    });\n};\n```\n\nExpress.js has `app.get`, `app.post`, `app.put`, `app.delete`, but for the most\npart, you will only use the first two HTTP verbs, unless you are building a\nRESTful API. If you just want to display a page, then use `GET`, if you are\nsubmitting a form, sending a file then use `POST`.\n\nHere is a typical workflow for adding new routes to your application. Let's say\nwe are building a page that lists all books from the database.\n\n**Step 1.** Start by defining a route.\n\n```js\napp.get(\"/books\", bookController.getBooks);\n```\n\n---\n\n**Note:** As of Express 4.x you can define your routes like so:\n\n```js\napp.route(\"/books\")\n    .get(bookController.getBooks)\n    .post(bookController.createBooks)\n    .put(bookController.updateBooks)\n    .delete(bookController.deleteBooks);\n```\n\nAnd here is how a route would look if it required an _authentication_ and an\n_authorization_ middleware:\n\n```js\napp.route(\"/api/twitter\")\n    .all(passportConfig.isAuthenticated)\n    .all(passportConfig.isAuthorized)\n    .get(apiController.getTwitter)\n    .post(apiController.postTwitter);\n```\n\nUse whichever style that makes sense to you. Either one is acceptable. I think\nthat chaining HTTP verbs on `app.route` is a very clean and elegant approach,\nbut on the other hand, I can no longer see all my routes at a glance when you\nhave one route per line.\n\n**Step 2.** Create a new schema and a model `Book.js` inside the _models_\ndirectory.\n\n```js\nconst mongoose = require(\"mongoose\");\n\nconst bookSchema = new mongoose.Schema({\n    name: String,\n});\n\nconst Book = mongoose.model(\"Book\", bookSchema);\nmodule.exports = Book;\n```\n\n**Step 3.** Create a new controller file called `book.js` inside the\n_controllers_ directory.\n\n```js\n/**\n * GET /books\n * List all books.\n */\nconst Book = require(\"../models/Book.js\");\n\nexports.getBooks = (req, res) => {\n    Book.find((err, docs) => {\n        res.render(\"books\", { books: docs });\n    });\n};\n```\n\n**Step 4.** Import that controller in `app.js`.\n\n```js\nconst bookController = require(\"./controllers/book\");\n```\n\n**Step 5.** Create `books.pug` template.\n\n```pug\nextends layout\n\nblock content\n  .page-header\n    h3 All Books\n\n  ul\n    for book in books\n      li= book.name\n```\n\nThat's it! I will say that you could have combined Step 1, 2, 3 as following:\n\n```js\napp.get(\"/books\", (req, res) => {\n    Book.find((err, docs) => {\n        res.render(\"books\", { books: docs });\n    });\n});\n```\n\nSure, it's simpler, but as soon as you pass 1000 lines of code in `app.js` it\nbecomes a little challenging to navigate the file. I mean, the whole point of\nthis boilerplate project was to separate concerns, so you could work with your\nteammates without running into _MERGE CONFLICTS_. Imagine you have four\ndevelopers working on a single `app.js`, I promise you it won't be fun resolving\nmerge conflicts all the time. If you are the only developer, then it's okay. But\nas I said, once it gets up to a certain LoC size, it becomes difficult to\nmaintain everything in a single file.\n\nThat's all there is to it. Express.js is super simple to use. Most of the time\nyou will be dealing with other APIs to do the real work:\n[Mongoose](http://mongoosejs.com/docs/guide.html) for querying database,\nsocket.io for sending and receiving messages over websockets, sending emails via\n[Nodemailer](http://nodemailer.com/), form validation using\n[express-validator](https://github.com/ctavan/express-validator) library,\nparsing websites using [Cheerio](https://github.com/cheeriojs/cheerio), etc.\n\n<hr>\n\n### How do I use Socket.io with Hackathon Starter?\n\n[Dan Stroot](https://github.com/dstroot) submitted an excellent\n[pull request](https://github.com/dstroot/hackathon-starter/commit/0a632def1ce8da446709d92812423d337c977d75)\nthat adds a real-time dashboard with socket.io. And as much as I'd like to add\nit to the project, I think it violates one of the main principles of the\nHackathon Starter:\n\n> When I started this project, my primary focus was on simplicity and ease of\n> use. I also tried to make it as generic and reusable as possible to cover most\n> use cases of hackathon web apps, **without being too specific**.\n\nWhen I need to use socket.io, I **really** need it, but most of the time - I\ndon't. But more importantly, websockets support is still experimental on most\nhosting providers. As of October 2013, Heroku supports websockets, but not until\nyou opt-in by running this command:\n\n```js\nheroku labs:enable websockets -a myapp\n```\n\nAnd what if you are deploying to OpenShift? They do support websockets, but it\nis currently in a preview state. So, for OpenShift you would need to change the\nsocket.io connect URI to the following:\n\n```js\nconst socket = io.connect(\"http://yoursite-namespace.rhcloud.com:8000\");\n```\n\nWait, why is it on port 8000? Who knows, and if I didn't run across this\n[blog post](http://velin-georgiev-blog.appspot.com/blog/set-up-nodejs-express-socketio-application-using-websockets-on-openshift-by-red-hat/)\nI wouldn't even know I had to use port 8000.\n\nI am really glad that Heroku and OpenShift at least have a websockets support,\nbecause many other PaaS providers still do not support it. Due to the\naforementioned issues with websockets, I cannot include socket.io as part of the\nHackathon Starter. _For now..._ If you need to use socket.io in your app, please\ncontinue reading.\n\nFirst, you need to install socket.io:\n\n```js\nnpm install socket.io\n```\n\nReplace `const app = express();` with the following code:\n\n```js\nconst app = express();\nconst server = require(\"http\").Server(app);\nconst io = require(\"socket.io\")(server);\n```\n\nI like to have the following code organization in `app.js` (from top to bottom):\nmodule dependencies, import controllers, import configs, connect to database,\nexpress configuration, routes, start the server, socket.io stuff. That way I\nalways know where to look for things.\n\nAdd the following code at the end of `app.js`:\n\n```js\nio.on(\"connection\", (socket) => {\n    socket.emit(\"greet\", { hello: \"Hey there browser!\" });\n    socket.on(\"respond\", (data) => {\n        console.log(data);\n    });\n    socket.on(\"disconnect\", () => {\n        console.log(\"Socket disconnected\");\n    });\n});\n```\n\nOne last thing left to change:\n\n```js\napp.listen(app.get('port'), () => {\n```\n\nto\n\n```js\nserver.listen(app.get('port'), () => {\n```\n\nAt this point, we are done with the back-end.\n\nYou now have a choice - to include your JavaScript code in Pug templates or have\nall your client-side JavaScript in a separate file - in `main.js`. I admit, when\nI first started with Node.js and JavaScript in general, I placed all JavaScript\ncode inside templates because I have access to template variables passed in from\nExpress right then and there. It's the easiest thing you can do, but also the\nleast efficient and harder to maintain. Since then I almost never include inline\nJavaScript inside templates anymore.\n\nBut it's also understandable if you want to take the easier road. Most of the\ntime you don't even care about performance during hackathons, you just want to\n[_\"get shit done\"_](https://www.startupvitamins.com/media/products/13/aaron_levie_poster_black.jpg)\nbefore the time runs out. Well, either way, use whichever approach makes more\nsense to you. At the end of the day, it's **what** you build that matters, not\n**how** you build it.\n\nIf you want to stick all your JavaScript inside templates, then in\n`layout.pug` - your main template file, add this to `head` block.\n\n```pug\nscript(src='/socket.io/socket.io.js')\nscript.\n    let socket = io.connect(window.location.href);\n    socket.on('greet', function (data) {\n      console.log(data);\n      socket.emit('respond', { message: 'Hey there, server!' });\n    });\n```\n\n**Note:** Notice the path of the `socket.io.js`, you don't actually have to have\n`socket.io.js` file anywhere in your project; it will be generated automatically\nat runtime.\n\nIf you want to have JavaScript code separate from templates, move that inline\nscript code into `main.js`, inside the `$(document).ready()` function:\n\n```js\n$(document).ready(function () {\n    // Place JavaScript code here...\n    let socket = io.connect(window.location.href);\n    socket.on(\"greet\", function (data) {\n        console.log(data);\n        socket.emit(\"respond\", { message: \"Hey there, server!\" });\n    });\n});\n```\n\nAnd we are done!\n\n## Cheatsheets\n\n### <img src=\"https://frontendmasters.com/assets/es6-logo.png\" height=\"34\" align=\"top\"> ES6 Cheatsheet\n\n#### Declarations\n\nDeclares a read-only named constant.\n\n```js\nconst name = \"yourName\";\n```\n\nDeclares a block scope local variable.\n\n```js\nlet index = 0;\n```\n\n#### Template Strings\n\nUsing the **\\`${}\\`** syntax, strings can embed expressions.\n\n```js\nconst name = \"Oggy\";\nconst age = 3;\n\nconsole.log(`My cat is named ${name} and is ${age} years old.`);\n```\n\n#### Modules\n\nTo import functions, objects or primitives exported from an external module.\nThese are the most common types of importing.\n\n```js\nconst name = require(\"module-name\");\n```\n\n```js\nconst { foo, bar } = require(\"module-name\");\n```\n\nTo export functions, objects or primitives from a given file or module.\n\n```js\nmodule.exports = { myFunction };\n```\n\n```js\nmodule.exports.name = \"yourName\";\n```\n\n```js\nmodule.exports = myFunctionOrClass;\n```\n\n#### Spread Operator\n\nThe spread operator allows an expression to be expanded in places where multiple\narguments (for function calls) or multiple elements (for array literals) are\nexpected.\n\n```js\nmyFunction(...iterableObject);\n```\n\n```jsx\n<ChildComponent {...this.props} />\n```\n\n#### Promises\n\nA Promise is used in asynchronous computations to represent an operation that\nhasn't completed yet, but is expected in the future.\n\n```js\nvar p = new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {});\n```\n\nThe `catch()` method returns a Promise and deals with rejected cases only.\n\n```js\np.catch(function (reason) {\n    /* handle rejection */\n});\n```\n\nThe `then()` method returns a Promise. It takes two arguments: callback for the\nsuccess & failure cases.\n\n```js\np.then(\n    function (value) {\n        /* handle fulfillment */\n    },\n    function (reason) {\n        /* handle rejection */\n    }\n);\n```\n\nThe `Promise.all(iterable)` method returns a promise that resolves when all of\nthe promises in the iterable argument have resolved or rejects with the reason\nof the first passed promise that rejects.\n\n```js\nPromise.all([p1, p2, p3]).then(function (values) {\n    console.log(values);\n});\n```\n\n#### Arrow Functions\n\nArrow function expression. Shorter syntax & lexically binds the `this` value.\nArrow functions are anonymous.\n\n```js\n(singleParam) => {\n    statements;\n};\n```\n\n```js\n() => {\n    statements;\n};\n```\n\n```js\n(param1, param2) => expression;\n```\n\n```js\nconst arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];\nconst squares = arr.map((x) => x * x);\n```\n\n#### Classes\n\nThe class declaration creates a new class using prototype-based inheritance.\n\n```js\nclass Person {\n    constructor(name, age, gender) {\n        this.name = name;\n        this.age = age;\n        this.gender = gender;\n    }\n\n    incrementAge() {\n        this.age++;\n    }\n}\n```\n\n:gift: **Credits**:\n[DuckDuckGo](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=es6+cheatsheet&ia=cheatsheet&iax=1) and\n[@DrkSephy](https://github.com/DrkSephy/es6-cheatsheet).\n\n:top: <sub>[**back to top**](#table-of-contents)</sub>\n\n### <img src=\"http://i.stack.imgur.com/Mmww2.png\" height=\"34\" align=\"top\"> JavaScript Date Cheatsheet\n\n#### Unix Timestamp (seconds)\n\n```js\nMath.floor(Date.now() / 1000);\n```\n\n```MomentJS\nmoment().unix();\n```\n\n#### Add 30 minutes to a Date object\n\n```js\nvar now = new Date();\nnow.setMinutes(now.getMinutes() + 30);\n```\n\n```MomentJS\nmoment().add(30, 'minutes');\n```\n\n#### Date Formatting\n\n```js\n// DD-MM-YYYY\nvar now = new Date();\n\nvar DD = now.getDate();\nvar MM = now.getMonth() + 1;\nvar YYYY = now.getFullYear();\n\nif (DD < 10) {\n    DD = \"0\" + DD;\n}\n\nif (MM < 10) {\n    MM = \"0\" + MM;\n}\n\nconsole.log(MM + \"-\" + DD + \"-\" + YYYY); // 03-30-2016\n```\n\n```MomentJS\nconsole.log(moment(new Date(), 'MM-DD-YYYY'));\n```\n\n```js\n// hh:mm (12 hour time with am/pm)\nvar now = new Date();\nvar hours = now.getHours();\nvar minutes = now.getMinutes();\nvar amPm = hours >= 12 ? \"pm\" : \"am\";\n\nhours = hours % 12;\nhours = hours ? hours : 12;\nminutes = minutes < 10 ? \"0\" + minutes : minutes;\n\nconsole.log(hours + \":\" + minutes + \" \" + amPm); // 1:43 am\n```\n\n```MomentJS\nconsole.log(moment(new Date(), 'hh:mm A'));\n```\n\n#### Next week Date object\n\n```js\nvar today = new Date();\nvar nextWeek = new Date(today.getTime() + 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);\n```\n\n```MomentJS\nmoment().add(7, 'days');\n```\n\n#### Yesterday Date object\n\n```js\nvar today = new Date();\nvar yesterday = date.setDate(date.getDate() - 1);\n```\n\n```MomentJS\nmoment().add(-1, 'days');\n```\n\n:top: <sub>[**back to top**](#table-of-contents)</sub>\n\n### Mongoose Cheatsheet\n\n#### Find all users:\n\n```js\nUser.find((err, users) => {\n    console.log(users);\n});\n```\n\n#### Find a user by email:\n\n```js\nlet userEmail = \"example@gmail.com\";\nUser.findOne({ email: userEmail }, (err, user) => {\n    console.log(user);\n});\n```\n\n#### Find 5 most recent user accounts:\n\n```js\nUser.find()\n    .sort({ _id: -1 })\n    .limit(5)\n    .exec((err, users) => {\n        console.log(users);\n    });\n```\n\n#### Get the total count of a field from all documents:\n\nLet's suppose that each user has a `votes` field and you would like to count the\ntotal number of votes in your database across all users. One very inefficient\nway would be to loop through each document and manually accumulate the count. Or\nyou could use\n[MongoDB Aggregation Framework](https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/core/aggregation-introduction/)\ninstead:\n\n```js\nUser.aggregate(\n    { $group: { _id: null, total: { $sum: \"$votes\" } } },\n    (err, votesCount) => {\n        console.log(votesCount.total);\n    }\n);\n```\n\n:top: <sub>[**back to top**](#table-of-contents)</sub>\n\n## Docker\n\nYou will need docker and docker-compose installed to build the application.\n\n-   [Docker installation](https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/)\n\n-   [Common problems setting up docker](https://docs.docker.com/toolbox/faqs/troubleshoot/)\n\nAfter installing docker, start the application with the following commands :\n\n```\n# To build the project for the first time or when you add dependencies\ndocker-compose build web\n\n# To start the application (or to restart after making changes to the source code)\ndocker-compose up web\n\n```\n\nTo view the app, find your docker IP address + port 8080 ( this will typically\nbe http://localhost:8080/ ). To use a port other than 8080, you would need to\nmodify the port in app.js, Dockerfile, and docker-compose.yml.\n\n## Deployment\n\nOnce you are ready to deploy your app, you will need to create an account with a\ncloud platform to host it. These are not the only choices, but they are my top\npicks. From my experience, the easiest way to get started is with **Heroku**. It\nwill automatically restart your Node.js process when it crashes, has\nzero-downtime deployments and supports custom domains on free accounts.\nAdditionally, you can create an account with **MongoDB Atlas** and then pick one\nof the _4_ providers below. Again, there are plenty of other choices, and you\nare not limited to just the ones listed below.\n\n### Deployment to Heroku\n\n<img src=\"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a9/Heroku_logo.png\" width=\"200\">\n\n-   Download and install [Heroku Toolbelt](https://toolbelt.heroku.com/)\n-   In a terminal, run `heroku login` and enter your Heroku credentials\n-   From _your app_ directory run `heroku create`\n-   Use the command `heroku config:set KEY=val` to set the different environment\n    variables (KEY=val) for your application (i.e.\n    `heroku config:set BASE_URL=[heroku App Name].herokuapp.com` or\n    `heroku config:set MONGODB_URI=mongodb://dbuser:<password>@cluster0-shard-00-00-sdf32.mongodb.net:27017,cluster0-shard-00-01-sdf32.mongodb.net:27017/<dbname>?ssl=true&retryWrites=true&w=majority`\n    (see Hosted MongoDB Atlas below), etc.) Make sure to set the environment\n    variables for SENDGRID_USER, SENDGRID_PASSWORD, and any other API that you\n    are using as well.\n-   Lastly, do `git push heroku master`.\n\nPlease note that you may also use the\n[Herko Dashboard](https://dashboard.heroku.com) to set or modify the\nconfigurations for your application.\n\n---\n\n### Hosted MongoDB Atlas\n\n<img src=\"https://www.mongodb.com/assets/images/global/MongoDB_Logo_Dark.svg\" width=\"200\">\n\n-   Go to\n    [https://www.mongodb.com/cloud/atlas](https://www.mongodb.com/cloud/atlas)\n-   Click the green **Get started free** button\n-   Fill in your information then hit **Get started free**\n-   You will be redirected to Create New Cluster page.\n-   Select a **Cloud Provider and Region** (such as AWS and a free tier region)\n-   Select cluster Tier to **Free Shared Clusters**\n-   Give Cluster a name (default: Cluster0)\n-   Click on green **:zap:Create Cluster button**\n-   Now, to access your database you need to create a DB user. To create a new\n    MongoDB user, from the **Clusters view**, select the **Security tab**\n-   Under the **MongoDB Users** tab, click on **+Add New User**\n-   Fill in a username and password and give it either **Atlas Admin** User\n    Privilege\n-   Next, you will need to create an IP address whitelist and obtain the\n    connection URI. In the Clusters view, under the cluster details (i.e.\n    SANDBOX - Cluster0), click on the **CONNECT** button.\n-   Under section **(1) Check the IP Whitelist**, click on **ALLOW ACCESS FROM\n    ANYWHERE**. The form will add a field with `0.0.0.0/0`. Click **SAVE** to\n    save the `0.0.0.0/0` whitelist.\n-   Under section **(2) Choose a connection method**, click on **Connect Your\n    Application**\n-   In the new screen, select **Node.js** as Driver and version **2.2.12 or\n    later**. _*WARNING*_: Do not pick 3.0 or later since connect-mongo can't\n    handle mongodb+srv:// connection strings.\n-   Finally, copy the URI connection string and replace the URI in MONGODB_URI\n    of `.env.example` with this URI string. Make sure to replace the <PASSWORD>\n    with the db User password that you created under the Security tab.\n-   Note that after some of the steps in the Atlas UI, you may see a banner\n    stating `We are deploying your changes`. You will need to wait for the\n    deployment to finish before using the DB in your application.\n\n**Note:** As an alternative to MongoDB Atlas, there is also\n[Compose](https://www.compose.io/).\n\n---\n\n### OpenShift\n\n<img src=\"http://www.opencloudconf.com/images/openshift_logo.png\" width=\"200\">\n**NOTE** *These instructions might be out of date due to changes in OpenShift. Heroku is currently a good free alternative.  If you the new process, please feel free to help us update this page*\n\n-   First, install this Ruby gem: `sudo gem install rhc` :gem:\n-   Run `rhc login` and enter your OpenShift credentials\n-   From your app directory run `rhc app create MyApp nodejs-0.10`\n-   **Note:** _MyApp_ is the name of your app (no spaces)\n-   Once that is done, you will be provided with **URL**, **SSH** and **Git\n    Remote** links\n-   Visit provided **URL**, and you should see the _Welcome to your Node.js\n    application on OpenShift_ page\n-   Copy and paste **Git Remote** into\n    `git remote add openshift YOUR_GIT_REMOTE`\n-   Before you push your app, you need to do a few modifications to your code\n\nAdd these two lines to `app.js`, just place them anywhere before `app.listen()`:\n\n```js\nvar IP_ADDRESS = process.env.OPENSHIFT_NODEJS_IP || \"127.0.0.1\";\nvar PORT = process.env.OPENSHIFT_NODEJS_PORT || 8080;\n```\n\nThen change `app.listen()` to:\n\n```js\napp.listen(PORT, IP_ADDRESS, () => {\n    console.log(\n        `Express server listening on port ${PORT} in ${app.settings.env} mode`\n    );\n});\n```\n\nAdd this to `package.json`, after _name_ and _version_. This is necessary\nbecause, by default, OpenShift looks for `server.js` file. And by specifying\n`supervisor app.js` it will automatically restart the server when node.js\nprocess crashes.\n\n```js\n\"main\": \"app.js\",\n\"scripts\": {\n  \"start\": \"supervisor app.js\"\n},\n```\n\n-   Finally, you can now push your code to OpenShift by running\n    `git push -f openshift master`\n-   **Note:** The first time you run this command, you have to pass `-f` (force)\n    flag because OpenShift creates a dummy server with the welcome page when you\n    create a new Node.js app. Passing `-f` flag will override everything with\n    your _Hackathon Starter_ project repository. **Do not** run `git pull` as it\n    will create unnecessary merge conflicts.\n-   And you are done!\n\n---\n\n### Azure\n\n<img src=\"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/ff/Windows_Azure_logo.png\" width=\"200\">\n**NOTE** *Beyond the initial 12 month trial of Azure, the platform does not seem to offer a free tier for hosting NodeJS apps.  If you are looking for a free tier service to host your app, Heroku might be a better choice at this point*\n\n-   Login to [Windows Azure Management Portal](https://manage.windowsazure.com/)\n-   Click the **+ NEW** button on the bottom left of the portal\n-   Click **COMPUTE**, then **WEB APP**, then **QUICK CREATE**\n-   Enter a name for **URL** and select the datacenter **REGION** for your web\n    site\n-   Click on **CREATE WEB APP** button\n-   Once the web site status changes to _Running_, click on the name of the web\n    site to access the Dashboard\n-   At the bottom right of the Quickstart page, select **Set up a deployment\n    from source control**\n-   Select **Local Git repository** from the list, and then click the arrow\n-   To enable Git publishing, Azure will ask you to create a user name and\n    password\n-   Once the Git repository is ready, you will be presented with a **GIT URL**\n-   Inside your _Hackathon Starter_ directory, run\n    `git remote add azure [Azure Git URL]`\n-   To push your changes run `git push azure master`\n-   **Note:** _You will be prompted for the password you created earlier_\n-   On **Deployments** tab of your Windows Azure Web App, you will see the\n    deployment history\n\n---\n\n## IBM Bluemix Cloud Platform\n\n**NOTE** _At this point it appears that Bluemix's free tier to host NodeJS apps\nis limited to 30 days.

you have attended any hackathons in the past, then you know how much time it\ntakes to get a project started: decide on what to build, pick a programming\nlanguage, pick a web framework, pick a CSS framework. A while later, you might\nhave an initial project up on GitHub and only then can other team members start\ncontributing. Or how about doing something as simple as _Sign in with Facebook_\nauthentication? You can spend hours on it if you are not familiar with how OAuth\n2.0 works.\n\nWhen I started this project, my primary focus was on **simplicity** and **ease\nof use**. I also tried to make it as **generic** and **reusable** as possible to\ncover most use cases of hackathon web apps, without being too specific. In the\nworst case, you can use this as a learning guide for your projects, if for\nexample you are only interested in **Sign in with Google** authentication and\nnothing else.\n\n### Testimonials\n\n> [**“Nice!

Alternatively, here is\nanother great tutorial for complete beginners -\n[Getting Started With Node.js, Express, MongoDB](http://cwbuecheler.com/web/tutorials/2013/node-express-mongo/).\n\n## Getting Started\n\nThe easiest way to get started is to clone the repository:\n\n```bash\n# Get the latest snapshot\ngit clone https://github.com/sahat/hackathon-starter.git myproject\n\n# Change directory\ncd myproject\n\n# Install NPM dependencies\nnpm install\n\n# Then simply start your app\nnode app.js\n```\n\n**Warning:** If you want to use some API that need https to work (for example\nPinterest or facebook), you will need to download [ngrok](https://ngrok.com/).\nYou must start ngrok after starting the project.\n\n```bash\n# start ngrok to intercept the data exchanged on port 8080\n./ngrok http 8080\n```\n\nNext, you must use the https URL defined by ngrok, for example,\n`https://hackaton.ngrok.io`\n\n**Note:** I highly recommend installing\n[Nodemon](https://github.com/remy/nodemon). It watches for any changes in your\nnode.js app and automatically restarts the server. Once installed, instead of\n`node app.js` use `nodemon app.js`. It will save you a lot of time in the long\nrun, because you won't need to manually restart the server each time you make a\nsmall change in code. To install, run `sudo npm install -g nodemon`.\n\n## Obtaining API Keys\n\nTo use any of the included APIs or OAuth authentication methods, you will need\nto obtain appropriate credentials: Client ID, Client Secret, API Key, or\nUsername & Password. You will need to go through each provider to generate new\ncredentials.\n\n<img src=\"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ad/RecaptchaLogo.svg/200px-RecaptchaLogo.svg.png\" width=\"200\">\n\n-   Visit\n    <a href=\"https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin\" target=\"_blank\">Google\n    reCAPTCHA Admin Console</a>\n-   Enter your application's name as the **Label**\n-   Chose **reCAPTCHA v2**, **\"I'm not a robot\" Checkbox**\n-   Enter _localhost_ as the domain. You can have other domains added in\n    addition to _localhost_\n-   Accept the terms and submit the form\n-   Copy the _Site Key_ and the _Secret key_ into `.env`. These keys will be\n    accessible under Settings, reCAPTCHA keys drop down if you need them again\n    later.\n\n<hr>\n\n<img src=\"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2f/Google_2015_logo.svg/1000px-Google_2015_logo.svg.png\" width=\"200\">\n\n-   Visit\n    <a href=\"https://cloud.google.com/console/project\" target=\"_blank\">Google\n    Cloud Console</a>\n-   Click on the **Create Project** button\n-   Enter _Project Name_, then click on **Create** button\n-   Then click on _APIs & auth_ in the sidebar and select _API_ tab\n-   Click on **Google+ API** under _Social APIs_, then click **Enable API**\n-   Click on **Google Drive API** under _G Suite_, then click **Enable API**\n-   Click on **Google Sheets API** under _G Suite_, then click **Enable API**\n-   Next, under _APIs & auth_ in the sidebar click on _Credentials_ tab\n-   Click on **Create new Client ID** button\n-   Select _Web Application_ and click on **Configure Consent Screen**\n-   Fill out the required fields then click on **Save**\n-   In the _Create Client ID_ modal dialog:\n-   **Application Type**: Web Application\n-   **Authorized Javascript origins**: http://localhost:8080\n-   **Authorized redirect URI**: http://localhost:8080/auth/google/callback\n-   Click on **Create Client ID** button\n-   Copy and paste _Client ID_ and _Client secret_ keys into `.env`\n\n**Note:** When you ready to deploy to production don't forget to add your new\nURL to _Authorized Javascript origins_ and _Authorized redirect URI_, e.g.\n`http://my-awesome-app.herokuapp.com` and\n`http://my-awesome-app.herokuapp.com/auth/google/callback` respectively.

when you\n    need to run multiple asynchronous tasks, and then render a page, but only\n    when all tasks are completed. For example, you might want to scrape three\n    different websites for some data and render the results in a template after\n    all three websites have been scraped.\n-   Need to find a specific object inside an Array? Use\n    [\\_.find](http://lodash.com/docs#find) function from Lodash. For example,\n    this is how you would retrieve a Twitter token from database:\n    `var token = _.find(req.user.tokens, { kind: 'twitter' });`, where 1st\n    parameter is an array, and a 2nd parameter is an object to search for.\n\n## FAQ\n\n### Why do I get `403 Error: Forbidden` when submitting a form?\n\nYou need to add the following hidden input element to your form. This has been\nadded in the\n[pull request #40](https://github.com/sahat/hackathon-starter/pull/40) as part\nof the CSRF protection.\n\n```\ninput(type='hidden', name='_csrf', value=_csrf)\n```\n\n**Note:** It is now possible to whitelist certain URLs. In other words you can\nspecify a list of routes that should bypass CSRF verification check.\n\n**Note 2:** To whitelist dynamic URLs use regular expression tests inside the\nCSRF middleware to see if `req.originalUrl` matches your desired pattern.\n\n### I am getting MongoDB Connection Error, how do I fix it?\n\nThat's a custom error message defined in `app.js` to indicate that there was a\nproblem connecting to MongoDB:\n\n```js\nmongoose.connection.on(\"error\", (err) => {\n    console.error(err);\n    console.log(\n        \"%s MongoDB connection error. Please make sure MongoDB is running.\",\n        chalk.red(\"✗\")\n    );\n    process.exit();\n});\n```\n\nYou need to have a MongoDB server running before launching `app.js`. You can\ndownload MongoDB [here](https://www.mongodb.com/download-center/community), or\ninstall it via a package manager.\n<img src=\"http://dc942d419843af05523b-ff74ae13537a01be6cfec5927837dcfe.r14.cf1.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/windows-8-50x50.jpg\" height=\"17\">\nWindows users, read\n[Install MongoDB on Windows](https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-windows/).\n\n**Tip:** If you are always connected to the internet, you could just use\n[MongoDB Atlas](https://www.mongodb.com/cloud/atlas) or\n[Compose](https://www.compose.io/) instead of downloading and installing MongoDB\nlocally. You will only need to update database credentials in `.env` file.\n\n### I get an error when I deploy my app, why?\n\nChances are you haven't changed the _Database URI_ in `.env`. If `MONGODB` is\nset to `localhost`, it will only work on your machine as long as MongoDB is\nrunning. When you deploy to Heroku, OpenShift or some other provider, you will\nnot have MongoDB running on `localhost`. You need to create an account with\n[MongoDB Atlas](https://www.mongodb.com/cloud/atlas) or\n[Compose](https://www.compose.io/), then create a free tier database. See\n[Deployment](#deployment) for more information on how to setup an account and a\nnew database step-by-step with MongoDB Atlas.\n\n### Why Pug (Jade) instead of Handlebars?\n\nWhen I first started this project I didn't have any experience with Handlebars.\nSince then I have worked on Ember.js apps and got myself familiar with the\nHandlebars syntax. While it is true Handlebars is easier, because it looks like\ngood old HTML, I have no regrets picking Jade over Handlebars. First off, it's\nthe default template engine in Express, so someone who has built Express apps in\nthe past already knows it. Secondly, I find `extends` and `block` to be\nindispensable, which as far as I know, Handlebars does not have out of the box.\nAnd lastly, subjectively speaking, Jade looks much cleaner and shorter than\nHandlebars, or any non-HAML style for that matter.\n\n### Why do you have all routes defined in app.js?\n\nFor the sake of simplicity. While there might be a better approach, such as\npassing `app` context to each controller as outlined in this\n[blog](http://timstermatic.github.io/blog/2013/08/17/a-simple-mvc-framework-with-node-and-express/),\nI find such style to be confusing for beginners. It took me a long time to grasp\nthe concept of `exports` and `module.exports`, let alone having a global `app`\nreference in other files. That to me is backward thinking. The `app.js` is the\n\"heart of the app\", it should be the one referencing models, routes,\ncontrollers, etc. When working solo on small projects, I prefer to have\neverything inside `app.js` as is the case with\n[this](<(https://github.com/sahat/ember-sass-express-starter/blob/master/app.js)>)\nREST API server.\n\n### How do I switch SendGrid for another email delivery service, like Mailgun or SparkPost?\n\nInside the `nodemailer.createTransport` method arguments, change the service\nfrom `'Sendgrid'` to some other email service. Also, be sure to update both\nusername and password below that. See the\n[list of all supported services](https://github.com/nodemailer/nodemailer-wellknown#supported-services)\nby Nodemailer.\n\n## How It Works (mini guides)\n\nThis section is intended for giving you a detailed explanation of how a\nparticular functionality works. Maybe you are just curious about how it works,\nor perhaps you are lost and confused while reading the code, I hope it provides\nsome guidance to you.\n\n### Custom HTML and CSS Design 101\n\n[HTML5 UP](http://html5up.net/) has many beautiful templates that you can\ndownload for free.\n\nWhen you download the ZIP file, it will come with _index.html_, _images_, _css_\nand _js_ folders. So, how do you integrate it with Hackathon Starter? Hackathon\nStarter uses Bootstrap CSS framework, but these templates do not. Trying to use\nboth CSS files at the same time will likely result in undesired effects.\n\n**Note:** Using the custom templates approach, you should understand that you\ncannot reuse any of the views I have created: layout, home page, api browser,\nlogin, signup, account management, contact. Those views were built using\nBootstrap grid and styles. You will have to manually update the grid using a\ndifferent syntax provided in the template. **Having said that, you can mix and\nmatch if you want to do so: Use Bootstrap for main app interface, and a custom\ntemplate for a landing page.**\n\nLet's start from the beginning. For this example I will use\n[Escape Velocity](http://html5up.net/escape-velocity/) template:\n![Alt](http://html5up.net/uploads/images/escape-velocity.jpg)\n\n**Note:** For the sake of simplicity I will only consider `index.html`, and skip\n`left-sidebar.html`, `no-sidebar.html`, `right-sidebar.html`.\n\nMove all JavaScript files from `html5up-escape-velocity/js` to `public/js`. Then\nmove all CSS files from `html5up-escape-velocity/css` to `public/css`. And\nfinally, move all images from `html5up-escape-velocity/images` to\n`public/images`. You could move it to the existing **img** folder, but that\nwould require manually changing every `img` reference. Grab the contents of\n`index.html` and paste it into [HTML To Pug](https://html-to-pug.com/).\n\n**Note:** Do not forget to update all the CSS and JS paths accordingly.\n\nCreate a new file `escape-velocity.pug` and paste the Pug markup in `views`\nfolder. Whenever you see the code `res.render('account/login')` - that means it\nwill search for `views/account/login.pug` file.\n\nLet's see how it looks. Create a new controller **escapeVelocity** inside\n`controllers/home.js`:\n\n```js\nexports.escapeVelocity = (req, res) => {\n    res.render(\"escape-velocity\", {\n        title: \"Landing Page\",\n    });\n};\n```\n\nAnd then create a route in `app.js`. I placed it right after the index\ncontroller:\n\n```js\napp.get(\"/escape-velocity\", homeController.escapeVelocity);\n```\n\nRestart the server (if you are not using **nodemon**); then you should see the\nnew template at\n[http://localhost:8080/escape-velocity](http://localhost:8080/escape-velocity).\n\nI will stop right here, but if you would like to use this template as more than\njust a single page, take a look at how these Pug templates work: `layout.pug` -\nbase template, `index.pug` - home page, `partials/header.pug` - Bootstrap\nnavbar, `partials/footer.pug` - sticky footer. You will have to manually break\nit apart into smaller pieces. Figure out which part of the template you want to\nkeep the same on all pages - that's your new `layout.pug`. Then, each page that\nchanges, be it `index.pug`, `about.pug`, `contact.pug` will be embedded in your\nnew `layout.pug` via `block content`. Use existing templates as a reference.\n\nThis is a rather lengthy process, and templates you get from elsewhere might\nhave yet another grid system. That's why I chose _Bootstrap_ for the Hackathon\nStarter. Many people are already familiar with _Bootstrap_, plus it's easy to\nget started with it if you have never used _Bootstrap_. You can also buy many\nbeautifully designed _Bootstrap_ themes at\n[Themeforest](http://themeforest.net/), and use them as a drop-in replacement\nfor Hackathon Starter. However, if you would like to go with a completely custom\nHTML/CSS design, this should help you to get started!\n\n<hr>\n\n### How do flash messages work in this project?\n\nFlash messages allow you to display a message at the end of the request and\naccess it on next request and only next request. For instance, on a failed login\nattempt, you would display an alert with some error message, but as soon as you\nrefresh that page or visit a different page and come back to the login page,\nthat error message will be gone. It is only displayed once. This project uses\n_express-flash_ module for flash messages. And that module is built on top of\n_connect-flash_, which is what I used in this project initially. With\n_express-flash_ you don't have to explicitly send a flash message to every view\ninside `res.render()`. All flash messages are available in your views via\n`messages` object by default, thanks to _express-flash_.\n\nFlash messages have a two-step process. You use\n`req.flash('errors', { msg: 'Error messages goes here' }` to create a flash\nmessage in your controllers, and then display them in your views:\n\n```pug\nif messages.errors\n  .alert.alert-danger.fade.in\n    for error in messages.errors\n      div= error.msg\n```\n\nIn the first step, `'errors'` is the name of a flash message, which should match\nthe name of the property on `messages` object in your views. You place alert\nmessages inside `if message.errors` because you don't want to show them flash\nmessages are present. The reason why you pass an error like\n`{ msg: 'Error message goes here' }` instead of just a string -\n`'Error message goes here'`, is for the sake of consistency. To clarify that,\n_express-validator_ module which is used for validating and sanitizing user's\ninput, returns all errors as an array of objects, where each object has a `msg`\nproperty with a message why an error has occurred. Here is a more general\nexample of what express-validator returns when there are errors present:\n\n```js\n[\n    { param: \"name\", msg: \"Name is required\", value: \"<received input>\" },\n    {\n        param: \"email\",\n        msg: \"A valid email is required\",\n        value: \"<received input>\",\n    },\n];\n```\n\nTo keep consistent with that style, you should pass all flash messages as\n`{ msg: 'My flash message' }` instead of a string. Otherwise, you will see an\nalert box without an error message. That is because in **partials/flash.pug**\ntemplate it will try to output `error.msg` (i.e. `\"My flash message\".msg`), in\nother words, it will try to call a `msg` method on a _String_ object, which will\nreturn _undefined_. Everything I just mentioned about errors, also applies to\n\"info\" and \"success\" flash messages, and you could even create a new one\nyourself, such as:\n\n**Data Usage Controller (Example)**\n\n```\nreq.flash('warning', { msg: 'You have exceeded 90% of your data usage' });\n```\n\n**User Account Page (Example)**\n\n```pug\nif messages.warning\n  .alert.alert-warning.fade.in\n    for warning in messages.warning\n      div= warning.msg\n```\n\n`partials/flash.pug` is a partial template that contains how flash messages are\nformatted. Previously, flash messages were scattered throughout each view that\nused flash messages (contact, login, signup, profile), but now, thankfully it\nuses a _DRY_ approach.\n\nThe flash messages partial template is _included_ in the `layout.pug`, along\nwith footer and navigation.\n\n```pug\nbody\n    include partials/header\n\n    .container\n      include partials/flash\n      block content\n\n    include partials/footer\n```\n\nIf you have any further questions about flash messages, please feel free to open\nan issue, and I will update this mini-guide accordingly, or send a pull request\nif you would like to include something that I missed.\n\n<hr>\n\n### How do I create a new page?\n\nA more correct way to say this would be \"How do I create a new route?\" The main\nfile `app.js` contains all the routes. Each route has a callback function\nassociated with it. Sometimes you will see three or more arguments for a route.\nIn a case like that, the first argument is still a URL string, while middle\narguments are what's called middleware. Think of middleware as a door. If this\ndoor prevents you from continuing forward, you won't get to your callback\nfunction. One such example is a route that requires authentication.\n\n```js\napp.get(\"/account\", passportConfig.isAuthenticated, userController.getAccount);\n```\n\nIt always goes from left to right. A user visits `/account` page. Then\n`isAuthenticated` middleware checks if you are authenticated:\n\n```js\nexports.isAuthenticated = (req, res, next) => {\n    if (req.isAuthenticated()) {\n        return next();\n    }\n    res.redirect(\"/login\");\n};\n```\n\nIf you are authenticated, you let this visitor pass through your \"door\" by\ncalling `return next();`. It then proceeds to the next middleware until it\nreaches the last argument, which is a callback function that typically renders a\ntemplate on `GET` requests or redirects on `POST` requests. In this case, if you\nare authenticated, you will be redirected to the _Account Management_ page;\notherwise, you will be redirected to the _Login_ page.\n\n```js\nexports.getAccount = (req, res) => {\n    res.render(\"account/profile\", {\n        title: \"Account Management\",\n    });\n};\n```\n\nExpress.js has `app.get`, `app.post`, `app.put`, `app.delete`, but for the most\npart, you will only use the first two HTTP verbs, unless you are building a\nRESTful API. If you just want to display a page, then use `GET`, if you are\nsubmitting a form, sending a file then use `POST`.\n\nHere is a typical workflow for adding new routes to your application. Let's say\nwe are building a page that lists all books from the database.\n\n**Step 1.** Start by defining a route.\n\n```js\napp.get(\"/books\", bookController.getBooks);\n```\n\n---\n\n**Note:** As of Express 4.x you can define your routes like so:\n\n```js\napp.route(\"/books\")\n    .get(bookController.getBooks)\n    .post(bookController.createBooks)\n    .put(bookController.updateBooks)\n    .delete(bookController.deleteBooks);\n```\n\nAnd here is how a route would look if it required an _authentication_ and an\n_authorization_ middleware:\n\n```js\napp.route(\"/api/twitter\")\n    .all(passportConfig.isAuthenticated)\n    .all(passportConfig.isAuthorized)\n    .get(apiController.getTwitter)\n    .post(apiController.postTwitter);\n```\n\nUse whichever style that makes sense to you. Either one is acceptable. I think\nthat chaining HTTP verbs on `app.route` is a very clean and elegant approach,\nbut on the other hand, I can no longer see all my routes at a glance when you\nhave one route per line.\n\n**Step 2.** Create a new schema and a model `Book.js` inside the _models_\ndirectory.\n\n```js\nconst mongoose = require(\"mongoose\");\n\nconst bookSchema = new mongoose.Schema({\n    name: String,\n});\n\nconst Book = mongoose.model(\"Book\", bookSchema);\nmodule.exports = Book;\n```\n\n**Step 3.** Create a new controller file called `book.js` inside the\n_controllers_ directory.\n\n```js\n/**\n * GET /books\n * List all books.\n */\nconst Book = require(\"../models/Book.js\");\n\nexports.getBooks = (req, res) => {\n    Book.find((err, docs) => {\n        res.render(\"books\", { books: docs });\n    });\n};\n```\n\n**Step 4.** Import that controller in `app.js`.\n\n```js\nconst bookController = require(\"./controllers/book\");\n```\n\n**Step 5.** Create `books.pug` template.\n\n```pug\nextends layout\n\nblock content\n  .page-header\n    h3 All Books\n\n  ul\n    for book in books\n      li= book.name\n```\n\nThat's it! I will say that you could have combined Step 1, 2, 3 as following:\n\n```js\napp.get(\"/books\", (req, res) => {\n    Book.find((err, docs) => {\n        res.render(\"books\", { books: docs });\n    });\n});\n```\n\nSure, it's simpler, but as soon as you pass 1000 lines of code in `app.js` it\nbecomes a little challenging to navigate the file. I mean, the whole point of\nthis boilerplate project was to separate concerns, so you could work with your\nteammates without running into _MERGE CONFLICTS_. Imagine you have four\ndevelopers working on a single `app.js`, I promise you it won't be fun resolving\nmerge conflicts all the time. If you are the only developer, then it's okay. But\nas I said, once it gets up to a certain LoC size, it becomes difficult to\nmaintain everything in a single file.\n\nThat's all there is to it. Express.js is super simple to use. Most of the time\nyou will be dealing with other APIs to do the real work:\n[Mongoose](http://mongoosejs.com/docs/guide.html) for querying database,\nsocket.io for sending and receiving messages over websockets, sending emails via\n[Nodemailer](http://nodemailer.com/), form validation using\n[express-validator](https://github.com/ctavan/express-validator) library,\nparsing websites using [Cheerio](https://github.com/cheeriojs/cheerio), etc.\n\n<hr>\n\n### How do I use Socket.io with Hackathon Starter?\n\n[Dan Stroot](https://github.com/dstroot) submitted an excellent\n[pull request](https://github.com/dstroot/hackathon-starter/commit/0a632def1ce8da446709d92812423d337c977d75)\nthat adds a real-time dashboard with socket.io. And as much as I'd like to add\nit to the project, I think it violates one of the main principles of the\nHackathon Starter:\n\n> When I started this project, my primary focus was on simplicity and ease of\n> use. I also tried to make it as generic and reusable as possible to cover most\n> use cases of hackathon web apps, **without being too specific**.\n\nWhen I need to use socket.io, I **really** need it, but most of the time - I\ndon't. But more importantly, websockets support is still experimental on most\nhosting providers. As of October 2013, Heroku supports websockets, but not until\nyou opt-in by running this command:\n\n```js\nheroku labs:enable websockets -a myapp\n```\n\nAnd what if you are deploying to OpenShift? They do support websockets, but it\nis currently in a preview state. So, for OpenShift you would need to change the\nsocket.io connect URI to the following:\n\n```js\nconst socket = io.connect(\"http://yoursite-namespace.rhcloud.com:8000\");\n```\n\nWait, why is it on port 8000? Who knows, and if I didn't run across this\n[blog post](http://velin-georgiev-blog.appspot.com/blog/set-up-nodejs-express-socketio-application-using-websockets-on-openshift-by-red-hat/)\nI wouldn't even know I had to use port 8000.\n\nI am really glad that Heroku and OpenShift at least have a websockets support,\nbecause many other PaaS providers still do not support it. Due to the\naforementioned issues with websockets, I cannot include socket.io as part of the\nHackathon Starter. _For now..._ If you need to use socket.io in your app, please\ncontinue reading.\n\nFirst, you need to install socket.io:\n\n```js\nnpm install socket.io\n```\n\nReplace `const app = express();` with the following code:\n\n```js\nconst app = express();\nconst server = require(\"http\").Server(app);\nconst io = require(\"socket.io\")(server);\n```\n\nI like to have the following code organization in `app.js` (from top to bottom):\nmodule dependencies, import controllers, import configs, connect to database,\nexpress configuration, routes, start the server, socket.io stuff. That way I\nalways know where to look for things.\n\nAdd the following code at the end of `app.js`:\n\n```js\nio.on(\"connection\", (socket) => {\n    socket.emit(\"greet\", { hello: \"Hey there browser!\" });\n    socket.on(\"respond\", (data) => {\n        console.log(data);\n    });\n    socket.on(\"disconnect\", () => {\n        console.log(\"Socket disconnected\");\n    });\n});\n```\n\nOne last thing left to change:\n\n```js\napp.listen(app.get('port'), () => {\n```\n\nto\n\n```js\nserver.listen(app.get('port'), () => {\n```\n\nAt this point, we are done with the back-end.\n\nYou now have a choice - to include your JavaScript code in Pug templates or have\nall your client-side JavaScript in a separate file - in `main.js`. I admit, when\nI first started with Node.js and JavaScript in general, I placed all JavaScript\ncode inside templates because I have access to template variables passed in from\nExpress right then and there. It's the easiest thing you can do, but also the\nleast efficient and harder to maintain. Since then I almost never include inline\nJavaScript inside templates anymore.\n\nBut it's also understandable if you want to take the easier road. Most of the\ntime you don't even care about performance during hackathons, you just want to\n[_\"get shit done\"_](https://www.startupvitamins.com/media/products/13/aaron_levie_poster_black.jpg)\nbefore the time runs out. Well, either way, use whichever approach makes more\nsense to you. At the end of the day, it's **what** you build that matters, not\n**how** you build it.\n\nIf you want to stick all your JavaScript inside templates, then in\n`layout.pug` - your main template file, add this to `head` block.\n\n```pug\nscript(src='/socket.io/socket.io.js')\nscript.\n    let socket = io.connect(window.location.href);\n    socket.on('greet', function (data) {\n      console.log(data);\n      socket.emit('respond', { message: 'Hey there, server!' });\n    });\n```\n\n**Note:** Notice the path of the `socket.io.js`, you don't actually have to have\n`socket.io.js` file anywhere in your project; it will be generated automatically\nat runtime.\n\nIf you want to have JavaScript code separate from templates, move that inline\nscript code into `main.js`, inside the `$(document).ready()` function:\n\n```js\n$(document).ready(function () {\n    // Place JavaScript code here...\n    let socket = io.connect(window.location.href);\n    socket.on(\"greet\", function (data) {\n        console.log(data);\n        socket.emit(\"respond\", { message: \"Hey there, server!\" });\n    });\n});\n```\n\nAnd we are done!\n\n## Cheatsheets\n\n### <img src=\"https://frontendmasters.com/assets/es6-logo.png\" height=\"34\" align=\"top\"> ES6 Cheatsheet\n\n#### Declarations\n\nDeclares a read-only named constant.\n\n```js\nconst name = \"yourName\";\n```\n\nDeclares a block scope local variable.\n\n```js\nlet index = 0;\n```\n\n#### Template Strings\n\nUsing the **\\`${}\\`** syntax, strings can embed expressions.\n\n```js\nconst name = \"Oggy\";\nconst age = 3;\n\nconsole.log(`My cat is named ${name} and is ${age} years old.`);\n```\n\n#### Modules\n\nTo import functions, objects or primitives exported from an external module.\nThese are the most common types of importing.\n\n```js\nconst name = require(\"module-name\");\n```\n\n```js\nconst { foo, bar } = require(\"module-name\");\n```\n\nTo export functions, objects or primitives from a given file or module.\n\n```js\nmodule.exports = { myFunction };\n```\n\n```js\nmodule.exports.name = \"yourName\";\n```\n\n```js\nmodule.exports = myFunctionOrClass;\n```\n\n#### Spread Operator\n\nThe spread operator allows an expression to be expanded in places where multiple\narguments (for function calls) or multiple elements (for array literals) are\nexpected.\n\n```js\nmyFunction(...iterableObject);\n```\n\n```jsx\n<ChildComponent {...this.props} />\n```\n\n#### Promises\n\nA Promise is used in asynchronous computations to represent an operation that\nhasn't completed yet, but is expected in the future.\n\n```js\nvar p = new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {});\n```\n\nThe `catch()` method returns a Promise and deals with rejected cases only.\n\n```js\np.catch(function (reason) {\n    /* handle rejection */\n});\n```\n\nThe `then()` method returns a Promise. It takes two arguments: callback for the\nsuccess & failure cases.\n\n```js\np.then(\n    function (value) {\n        /* handle fulfillment */\n    },\n    function (reason) {\n        /* handle rejection */\n    }\n);\n```\n\nThe `Promise.all(iterable)` method returns a promise that resolves when all of\nthe promises in the iterable argument have resolved or rejects with the reason\nof the first passed promise that rejects.\n\n```js\nPromise.all([p1, p2, p3]).then(function (values) {\n    console.log(values);\n});\n```\n\n#### Arrow Functions\n\nArrow function expression. Shorter syntax & lexically binds the `this` value.\nArrow functions are anonymous.\n\n```js\n(singleParam) => {\n    statements;\n};\n```\n\n```js\n() => {\n    statements;\n};\n```\n\n```js\n(param1, param2) => expression;\n```\n\n```js\nconst arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];\nconst squares = arr.map((x) => x * x);\n```\n\n#### Classes\n\nThe class declaration creates a new class using prototype-based inheritance.\n\n```js\nclass Person {\n    constructor(name, age, gender) {\n        this.name = name;\n        this.age = age;\n        this.gender = gender;\n    }\n\n    incrementAge() {\n        this.age++;\n    }\n}\n```\n\n:gift: **Credits**:\n[DuckDuckGo](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=es6+cheatsheet&ia=cheatsheet&iax=1) and\n[@DrkSephy](https://github.com/DrkSephy/es6-cheatsheet).\n\n:top: <sub>[**back to top**](#table-of-contents)</sub>\n\n### <img src=\"http://i.stack.imgur.com/Mmww2.png\" height=\"34\" align=\"top\"> JavaScript Date Cheatsheet\n\n#### Unix Timestamp (seconds)\n\n```js\nMath.floor(Date.now() / 1000);\n```\n\n```MomentJS\nmoment().unix();\n```\n\n#### Add 30 minutes to a Date object\n\n```js\nvar now = new Date();\nnow.setMinutes(now.getMinutes() + 30);\n```\n\n```MomentJS\nmoment().add(30, 'minutes');\n```\n\n#### Date Formatting\n\n```js\n// DD-MM-YYYY\nvar now = new Date();\n\nvar DD = now.getDate();\nvar MM = now.getMonth() + 1;\nvar YYYY = now.getFullYear();\n\nif (DD < 10) {\n    DD = \"0\" + DD;\n}\n\nif (MM < 10) {\n    MM = \"0\" + MM;\n}\n\nconsole.log(MM + \"-\" + DD + \"-\" + YYYY); // 03-30-2016\n```\n\n```MomentJS\nconsole.log(moment(new Date(), 'MM-DD-YYYY'));\n```\n\n```js\n// hh:mm (12 hour time with am/pm)\nvar now = new Date();\nvar hours = now.getHours();\nvar minutes = now.getMinutes();\nvar amPm = hours >= 12 ? \"pm\" : \"am\";\n\nhours = hours % 12;\nhours = hours ? hours : 12;\nminutes = minutes < 10 ? \"0\" + minutes : minutes;\n\nconsole.log(hours + \":\" + minutes + \" \" + amPm); // 1:43 am\n```\n\n```MomentJS\nconsole.log(moment(new Date(), 'hh:mm A'));\n```\n\n#### Next week Date object\n\n```js\nvar today = new Date();\nvar nextWeek = new Date(today.getTime() + 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);\n```\n\n```MomentJS\nmoment().add(7, 'days');\n```\n\n#### Yesterday Date object\n\n```js\nvar today = new Date();\nvar yesterday = date.setDate(date.getDate() - 1);\n```\n\n```MomentJS\nmoment().add(-1, 'days');\n```\n\n:top: <sub>[**back to top**](#table-of-contents)</sub>\n\n### Mongoose Cheatsheet\n\n#### Find all users:\n\n```js\nUser.find((err, users) => {\n    console.log(users);\n});\n```\n\n#### Find a user by email:\n\n```js\nlet userEmail = \"example@gmail.com\";\nUser.findOne({ email: userEmail }, (err, user) => {\n    console.log(user);\n});\n```\n\n#### Find 5 most recent user accounts:\n\n```js\nUser.find()\n    .sort({ _id: -1 })\n    .limit(5)\n    .exec((err, users) => {\n        console.log(users);\n    });\n```\n\n#### Get the total count of a field from all documents:\n\nLet's suppose that each user has a `votes` field and you would like to count the\ntotal number of votes in your database across all users. One very inefficient\nway would be to loop through each document and manually accumulate the count. Or\nyou could use\n[MongoDB Aggregation Framework](https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/core/aggregation-introduction/)\ninstead:\n\n```js\nUser.aggregate(\n    { $group: { _id: null, total: { $sum: \"$votes\" } } },\n    (err, votesCount) => {\n        console.log(votesCount.total);\n    }\n);\n```\n\n:top: <sub>[**back to top**](#table-of-contents)</sub>\n\n## Docker\n\nYou will need docker and docker-compose installed to build the application.\n\n-   [Docker installation](https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/)\n\n-   [Common problems setting up docker](https://docs.docker.com/toolbox/faqs/troubleshoot/)\n\nAfter installing docker, start the application with the following commands :\n\n```\n# To build the project for the first time or when you add dependencies\ndocker-compose build web\n\n# To start the application (or to restart after making changes to the source code)\ndocker-compose up web\n\n```\n\nTo view the app, find your docker IP address + port 8080 ( this will typically\nbe http://localhost:8080/ ). To use a port other than 8080, you would need to\nmodify the port in app.js, Dockerfile, and docker-compose.yml.\n\n## Deployment\n\nOnce you are ready to deploy your app, you will need to create an account with a\ncloud platform to host it. These are not the only choices, but they are my top\npicks. From my experience, the easiest way to get started is with **Heroku**. It\nwill automatically restart your Node.js process when it crashes, has\nzero-downtime deployments and supports custom domains on free accounts.\nAdditionally, you can create an account with **MongoDB Atlas** and then pick one\nof the _4_ providers below. Again, there are plenty of other choices, and you\nare not limited to just the ones listed below.\n\n### Deployment to Heroku\n\n<img src=\"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a9/Heroku_logo.png\" width=\"200\">\n\n-   Download and install [Heroku Toolbelt](https://toolbelt.heroku.com/)\n-   In a terminal, run `heroku login` and enter your Heroku credentials\n-   From _your app_ directory run `heroku create`\n-   Use the command `heroku config:set KEY=val` to set the different environment\n    variables (KEY=val) for your application (i.e.\n    `heroku config:set BASE_URL=[heroku App Name].herokuapp.com` or\n    `heroku config:set MONGODB_URI=mongodb://dbuser:<password>@cluster0-shard-00-00-sdf32.mongodb.net:27017,cluster0-shard-00-01-sdf32.mongodb.net:27017/<dbname>?ssl=true&retryWrites=true&w=majority`\n    (see Hosted MongoDB Atlas below), etc.) Make sure to set the environment\n    variables for SENDGRID_USER, SENDGRID_PASSWORD, and any other API that you\n    are using as well.\n-   Lastly, do `git push heroku master`.\n\nPlease note that you may also use the\n[Herko Dashboard](https://dashboard.heroku.com) to set or modify the\nconfigurations for your application.\n\n---\n\n### Hosted MongoDB Atlas\n\n<img src=\"https://www.mongodb.com/assets/images/global/MongoDB_Logo_Dark.svg\" width=\"200\">\n\n-   Go to\n    [https://www.mongodb.com/cloud/atlas](https://www.mongodb.com/cloud/atlas)\n-   Click the green **Get started free** button\n-   Fill in your information then hit **Get started free**\n-   You will be redirected to Create New Cluster page.\n-   Select a **Cloud Provider and Region** (such as AWS and a free tier region)\n-   Select cluster Tier to **Free Shared Clusters**\n-   Give Cluster a name (default: Cluster0)\n-   Click on green **:zap:Create Cluster button**\n-   Now, to access your database you need to create a DB user. To create a new\n    MongoDB user, from the **Clusters view**, select the **Security tab**\n-   Under the **MongoDB Users** tab, click on **+Add New User**\n-   Fill in a username and password and give it either **Atlas Admin** User\n    Privilege\n-   Next, you will need to create an IP address whitelist and obtain the\n    connection URI. In the Clusters view, under the cluster details (i.e.\n    SANDBOX - Cluster0), click on the **CONNECT** button.\n-   Under section **(1) Check the IP Whitelist**, click on **ALLOW ACCESS FROM\n    ANYWHERE**. The form will add a field with `0.0.0.0/0`. Click **SAVE** to\n    save the `0.0.0.0/0` whitelist.\n-   Under section **(2) Choose a connection method**, click on **Connect Your\n    Application**\n-   In the new screen, select **Node.js** as Driver and version **2.2.12 or\n    later**. _*WARNING*_: Do not pick 3.0 or later since connect-mongo can't\n    handle mongodb+srv:// connection strings.\n-   Finally, copy the URI connection string and replace the URI in MONGODB_URI\n    of `.env.example` with this URI string. Make sure to replace the <PASSWORD>\n    with the db User password that you created under the Security tab.\n-   Note that after some of the steps in the Atlas UI, you may see a banner\n    stating `We are deploying your changes`. You will need to wait for the\n    deployment to finish before using the DB in your application.\n\n**Note:** As an alternative to MongoDB Atlas, there is also\n[Compose](https://www.compose.io/).\n\n---\n\n### OpenShift\n\n<img src=\"http://www.opencloudconf.com/images/openshift_logo.png\" width=\"200\">\n**NOTE** *These instructions might be out of date due to changes in OpenShift. Heroku is currently a good free alternative.  If you the new process, please feel free to help us update this page*\n\n-   First, install this Ruby gem: `sudo gem install rhc` :gem:\n-   Run `rhc login` and enter your OpenShift credentials\n-   From your app directory run `rhc app create MyApp nodejs-0.10`\n-   **Note:** _MyApp_ is the name of your app (no spaces)\n-   Once that is done, you will be provided with **URL**, **SSH** and **Git\n    Remote** links\n-   Visit provided **URL**, and you should see the _Welcome to your Node.js\n    application on OpenShift_ page\n-   Copy and paste **Git Remote** into\n    `git remote add openshift YOUR_GIT_REMOTE`\n-   Before you push your app, you need to do a few modifications to your code\n\nAdd these two lines to `app.js`, just place them anywhere before `app.listen()`:\n\n```js\nvar IP_ADDRESS = process.env.OPENSHIFT_NODEJS_IP || \"127.0.0.1\";\nvar PORT = process.env.OPENSHIFT_NODEJS_PORT || 8080;\n```\n\nThen change `app.listen()` to:\n\n```js\napp.listen(PORT, IP_ADDRESS, () => {\n    console.log(\n        `Express server listening on port ${PORT} in ${app.settings.env} mode`\n    );\n});\n```\n\nAdd this to `package.json`, after _name_ and _version_. This is necessary\nbecause, by default, OpenShift looks for `server.js` file. And by specifying\n`supervisor app.js` it will automatically restart the server when node.js\nprocess crashes.\n\n```js\n\"main\": \"app.js\",\n\"scripts\": {\n  \"start\": \"supervisor app.js\"\n},\n```\n\n-   Finally, you can now push your code to OpenShift by running\n    `git push -f openshift master`\n-   **Note:** The first time you run this command, you have to pass `-f` (force)\n    flag because OpenShift creates a dummy server with the welcome page when you\n    create a new Node.js app. Passing `-f` flag will override everything with\n    your _Hackathon Starter_ project repository. **Do not** run `git pull` as it\n    will create unnecessary merge conflicts.\n-   And you are done!\n\n---\n\n### Azure\n\n<img src=\"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/ff/Windows_Azure_logo.png\" width=\"200\">\n**NOTE** *Beyond the initial 12 month trial of Azure, the platform does not seem to offer a free tier for hosting NodeJS apps.  If you are looking for a free tier service to host your app, Heroku might be a better choice at this point*\n\n-   Login to [Windows Azure Management Portal](https://manage.windowsazure.com/)\n-   Click the **+ NEW** button on the bottom left of the portal\n-   Click **COMPUTE**, then **WEB APP**, then **QUICK CREATE**\n-   Enter a name for **URL** and select the datacenter **REGION** for your web\n    site\n-   Click on **CREATE WEB APP** button\n-   Once the web site status changes to _Running_, click on the name of the web\n    site to access the Dashboard\n-   At the bottom right of the Quickstart page, select **Set up a deployment\n    from source control**\n-   Select **Local Git repository** from the list, and then click the arrow\n-   To enable Git publishing, Azure will ask you to create a user name and\n    password\n-   Once the Git repository is ready, you will be presented with a **GIT URL**\n-   Inside your _Hackathon Starter_ directory, run\n    `git remote add azure [Azure Git URL]`\n-   To push your changes run `git push azure master`\n-   **Note:** _You will be prompted for the password you created earlier_\n-   On **Deployments** tab of your Windows Azure Web App, you will see the\n    deployment history\n\n---\n\n## IBM Bluemix Cloud Platform\n\n**NOTE** _At this point it appears that Bluemix's free tier to host NodeJS apps\nis limited to 30 days.

you have attended any hackathons in the past, then you know how much time it\ntakes to get a project started: decide on what to build, pick a programming\nlanguage, pick a web framework, pick a CSS framework. A while later, you might\nhave an initial project up on GitHub and only then can other team members start\ncontributing. Or how about doing something as simple as _Sign in with Facebook_\nauthentication? You can spend hours on it if you are not familiar with how OAuth\n2.0 works.\n\nWhen I started this project, my primary focus was on **simplicity** and **ease\nof use**. I also tried to make it as **generic** and **reusable** as possible to\ncover most use cases of hackathon web apps, without being too specific. In the\nworst case, you can use this as a learning guide for your projects, if for\nexample you are only interested in **Sign in with Google** authentication and\nnothing else.\n\n### Testimonials\n\n> [**“Nice!

Alternatively, here is\nanother great tutorial for complete beginners -\n[Getting Started With Node.js, Express, MongoDB](http://cwbuecheler.com/web/tutorials/2013/node-express-mongo/).\n\n## Getting Started\n\nThe easiest way to get started is to clone the repository:\n\n```bash\n# Get the latest snapshot\ngit clone https://github.com/sahat/hackathon-starter.git myproject\n\n# Change directory\ncd myproject\n\n# Install NPM dependencies\nnpm install\n\n# Then simply start your app\nnode app.js\n```\n\n**Warning:** If you want to use some API that need https to work (for example\nPinterest or facebook), you will need to download [ngrok](https://ngrok.com/).\nYou must start ngrok after starting the project.\n\n```bash\n# start ngrok to intercept the data exchanged on port 8080\n./ngrok http 8080\n```\n\nNext, you must use the https URL defined by ngrok, for example,\n`https://hackaton.ngrok.io`\n\n**Note:** I highly recommend installing\n[Nodemon](https://github.com/remy/nodemon). It watches for any changes in your\nnode.js app and automatically restarts the server. Once installed, instead of\n`node app.js` use `nodemon app.js`. It will save you a lot of time in the long\nrun, because you won't need to manually restart the server each time you make a\nsmall change in code. To install, run `sudo npm install -g nodemon`.\n\n## Obtaining API Keys\n\nTo use any of the included APIs or OAuth authentication methods, you will need\nto obtain appropriate credentials: Client ID, Client Secret, API Key, or\nUsername & Password. You will need to go through each provider to generate new\ncredentials.\n\n<img src=\"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ad/RecaptchaLogo.svg/200px-RecaptchaLogo.svg.png\" width=\"200\">\n\n-   Visit\n    <a href=\"https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin\" target=\"_blank\">Google\n    reCAPTCHA Admin Console</a>\n-   Enter your application's name as the **Label**\n-   Chose **reCAPTCHA v2**, **\"I'm not a robot\" Checkbox**\n-   Enter _localhost_ as the domain. You can have other domains added in\n    addition to _localhost_\n-   Accept the terms and submit the form\n-   Copy the _Site Key_ and the _Secret key_ into `.env`. These keys will be\n    accessible under Settings, reCAPTCHA keys drop down if you need them again\n    later.\n\n<hr>\n\n<img src=\"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2f/Google_2015_logo.svg/1000px-Google_2015_logo.svg.png\" width=\"200\">\n\n-   Visit\n    <a href=\"https://cloud.google.com/console/project\" target=\"_blank\">Google\n    Cloud Console</a>\n-   Click on the **Create Project** button\n-   Enter _Project Name_, then click on **Create** button\n-   Then click on _APIs & auth_ in the sidebar and select _API_ tab\n-   Click on **Google+ API** under _Social APIs_, then click **Enable API**\n-   Click on **Google Drive API** under _G Suite_, then click **Enable API**\n-   Click on **Google Sheets API** under _G Suite_, then click **Enable API**\n-   Next, under _APIs & auth_ in the sidebar click on _Credentials_ tab\n-   Click on **Create new Client ID** button\n-   Select _Web Application_ and click on **Configure Consent Screen**\n-   Fill out the required fields then click on **Save**\n-   In the _Create Client ID_ modal dialog:\n-   **Application Type**: Web Application\n-   **Authorized Javascript origins**: http://localhost:8080\n-   **Authorized redirect URI**: http://localhost:8080/auth/google/callback\n-   Click on **Create Client ID** button\n-   Copy and paste _Client ID_ and _Client secret_ keys into `.env`\n\n**Note:** When you ready to deploy to production don't forget to add your new\nURL to _Authorized Javascript origins_ and _Authorized redirect URI_, e.g.\n`http://my-awesome-app.herokuapp.com` and\n`http://my-awesome-app.herokuapp.com/auth/google/callback` respectively.

when you\n    need to run multiple asynchronous tasks, and then render a page, but only\n    when all tasks are completed. For example, you might want to scrape three\n    different websites for some data and render the results in a template after\n    all three websites have been scraped.\n-   Need to find a specific object inside an Array? Use\n    [\\_.find](http://lodash.com/docs#find) function from Lodash. For example,\n    this is how you would retrieve a Twitter token from database:\n    `var token = _.find(req.user.tokens, { kind: 'twitter' });`, where 1st\n    parameter is an array, and a 2nd parameter is an object to search for.\n\n## FAQ\n\n### Why do I get `403 Error: Forbidden` when submitting a form?\n\nYou need to add the following hidden input element to your form. This has been\nadded in the\n[pull request #40](https://github.com/sahat/hackathon-starter/pull/40) as part\nof the CSRF protection.\n\n```\ninput(type='hidden', name='_csrf', value=_csrf)\n```\n\n**Note:** It is now possible to whitelist certain URLs. In other words you can\nspecify a list of routes that should bypass CSRF verification check.\n\n**Note 2:** To whitelist dynamic URLs use regular expression tests inside the\nCSRF middleware to see if `req.originalUrl` matches your desired pattern.\n\n### I am getting MongoDB Connection Error, how do I fix it?\n\nThat's a custom error message defined in `app.js` to indicate that there was a\nproblem connecting to MongoDB:\n\n```js\nmongoose.connection.on(\"error\", (err) => {\n    console.error(err);\n    console.log(\n        \"%s MongoDB connection error. Please make sure MongoDB is running.\",\n        chalk.red(\"✗\")\n    );\n    process.exit();\n});\n```\n\nYou need to have a MongoDB server running before launching `app.js`. You can\ndownload MongoDB [here](https://www.mongodb.com/download-center/community), or\ninstall it via a package manager.\n<img src=\"http://dc942d419843af05523b-ff74ae13537a01be6cfec5927837dcfe.r14.cf1.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/windows-8-50x50.jpg\" height=\"17\">\nWindows users, read\n[Install MongoDB on Windows](https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-windows/).\n\n**Tip:** If you are always connected to the internet, you could just use\n[MongoDB Atlas](https://www.mongodb.com/cloud/atlas) or\n[Compose](https://www.compose.io/) instead of downloading and installing MongoDB\nlocally. You will only need to update database credentials in `.env` file.\n\n### I get an error when I deploy my app, why?\n\nChances are you haven't changed the _Database URI_ in `.env`. If `MONGODB` is\nset to `localhost`, it will only work on your machine as long as MongoDB is\nrunning. When you deploy to Heroku, OpenShift or some other provider, you will\nnot have MongoDB running on `localhost`. You need to create an account with\n[MongoDB Atlas](https://www.mongodb.com/cloud/atlas) or\n[Compose](https://www.compose.io/), then create a free tier database. See\n[Deployment](#deployment) for more information on how to setup an account and a\nnew database step-by-step with MongoDB Atlas.\n\n### Why Pug (Jade) instead of Handlebars?\n\nWhen I first started this project I didn't have any experience with Handlebars.\nSince then I have worked on Ember.js apps and got myself familiar with the\nHandlebars syntax. While it is true Handlebars is easier, because it looks like\ngood old HTML, I have no regrets picking Jade over Handlebars. First off, it's\nthe default template engine in Express, so someone who has built Express apps in\nthe past already knows it. Secondly, I find `extends` and `block` to be\nindispensable, which as far as I know, Handlebars does not have out of the box.\nAnd lastly, subjectively speaking, Jade looks much cleaner and shorter than\nHandlebars, or any non-HAML style for that matter.\n\n### Why do you have all routes defined in app.js?\n\nFor the sake of simplicity. While there might be a better approach, such as\npassing `app` context to each controller as outlined in this\n[blog](http://timstermatic.github.io/blog/2013/08/17/a-simple-mvc-framework-with-node-and-express/),\nI find such style to be confusing for beginners. It took me a long time to grasp\nthe concept of `exports` and `module.exports`, let alone having a global `app`\nreference in other files. That to me is backward thinking. The `app.js` is the\n\"heart of the app\", it should be the one referencing models, routes,\ncontrollers, etc. When working solo on small projects, I prefer to have\neverything inside `app.js` as is the case with\n[this](<(https://github.com/sahat/ember-sass-express-starter/blob/master/app.js)>)\nREST API server.\n\n### How do I switch SendGrid for another email delivery service, like Mailgun or SparkPost?\n\nInside the `nodemailer.createTransport` method arguments, change the service\nfrom `'Sendgrid'` to some other email service. Also, be sure to update both\nusername and password below that. See the\n[list of all supported services](https://github.com/nodemailer/nodemailer-wellknown#supported-services)\nby Nodemailer.\n\n## How It Works (mini guides)\n\nThis section is intended for giving you a detailed explanation of how a\nparticular functionality works. Maybe you are just curious about how it works,\nor perhaps you are lost and confused while reading the code, I hope it provides\nsome guidance to you.\n\n### Custom HTML and CSS Design 101\n\n[HTML5 UP](http://html5up.net/) has many beautiful templates that you can\ndownload for free.\n\nWhen you download the ZIP file, it will come with _index.html_, _images_, _css_\nand _js_ folders. So, how do you integrate it with Hackathon Starter? Hackathon\nStarter uses Bootstrap CSS framework, but these templates do not. Trying to use\nboth CSS files at the same time will likely result in undesired effects.\n\n**Note:** Using the custom templates approach, you should understand that you\ncannot reuse any of the views I have created: layout, home page, api browser,\nlogin, signup, account management, contact. Those views were built using\nBootstrap grid and styles. You will have to manually update the grid using a\ndifferent syntax provided in the template. **Having said that, you can mix and\nmatch if you want to do so: Use Bootstrap for main app interface, and a custom\ntemplate for a landing page.**\n\nLet's start from the beginning. For this example I will use\n[Escape Velocity](http://html5up.net/escape-velocity/) template:\n![Alt](http://html5up.net/uploads/images/escape-velocity.jpg)\n\n**Note:** For the sake of simplicity I will only consider `index.html`, and skip\n`left-sidebar.html`, `no-sidebar.html`, `right-sidebar.html`.\n\nMove all JavaScript files from `html5up-escape-velocity/js` to `public/js`. Then\nmove all CSS files from `html5up-escape-velocity/css` to `public/css`. And\nfinally, move all images from `html5up-escape-velocity/images` to\n`public/images`. You could move it to the existing **img** folder, but that\nwould require manually changing every `img` reference. Grab the contents of\n`index.html` and paste it into [HTML To Pug](https://html-to-pug.com/).\n\n**Note:** Do not forget to update all the CSS and JS paths accordingly.\n\nCreate a new file `escape-velocity.pug` and paste the Pug markup in `views`\nfolder. Whenever you see the code `res.render('account/login')` - that means it\nwill search for `views/account/login.pug` file.\n\nLet's see how it looks. Create a new controller **escapeVelocity** inside\n`controllers/home.js`:\n\n```js\nexports.escapeVelocity = (req, res) => {\n    res.render(\"escape-velocity\", {\n        title: \"Landing Page\",\n    });\n};\n```\n\nAnd then create a route in `app.js`. I placed it right after the index\ncontroller:\n\n```js\napp.get(\"/escape-velocity\", homeController.escapeVelocity);\n```\n\nRestart the server (if you are not using **nodemon**); then you should see the\nnew template at\n[http://localhost:8080/escape-velocity](http://localhost:8080/escape-velocity).\n\nI will stop right here, but if you would like to use this template as more than\njust a single page, take a look at how these Pug templates work: `layout.pug` -\nbase template, `index.pug` - home page, `partials/header.pug` - Bootstrap\nnavbar, `partials/footer.pug` - sticky footer. You will have to manually break\nit apart into smaller pieces. Figure out which part of the template you want to\nkeep the same on all pages - that's your new `layout.pug`. Then, each page that\nchanges, be it `index.pug`, `about.pug`, `contact.pug` will be embedded in your\nnew `layout.pug` via `block content`. Use existing templates as a reference.\n\nThis is a rather lengthy process, and templates you get from elsewhere might\nhave yet another grid system. That's why I chose _Bootstrap_ for the Hackathon\nStarter. Many people are already familiar with _Bootstrap_, plus it's easy to\nget started with it if you have never used _Bootstrap_. You can also buy many\nbeautifully designed _Bootstrap_ themes at\n[Themeforest](http://themeforest.net/), and use them as a drop-in replacement\nfor Hackathon Starter. However, if you would like to go with a completely custom\nHTML/CSS design, this should help you to get started!\n\n<hr>\n\n### How do flash messages work in this project?\n\nFlash messages allow you to display a message at the end of the request and\naccess it on next request and only next request. For instance, on a failed login\nattempt, you would display an alert with some error message, but as soon as you\nrefresh that page or visit a different page and come back to the login page,\nthat error message will be gone. It is only displayed once. This project uses\n_express-flash_ module for flash messages. And that module is built on top of\n_connect-flash_, which is what I used in this project initially. With\n_express-flash_ you don't have to explicitly send a flash message to every view\ninside `res.render()`. All flash messages are available in your views via\n`messages` object by default, thanks to _express-flash_.\n\nFlash messages have a two-step process. You use\n`req.flash('errors', { msg: 'Error messages goes here' }` to create a flash\nmessage in your controllers, and then display them in your views:\n\n```pug\nif messages.errors\n  .alert.alert-danger.fade.in\n    for error in messages.errors\n      div= error.msg\n```\n\nIn the first step, `'errors'` is the name of a flash message, which should match\nthe name of the property on `messages` object in your views. You place alert\nmessages inside `if message.errors` because you don't want to show them flash\nmessages are present. The reason why you pass an error like\n`{ msg: 'Error message goes here' }` instead of just a string -\n`'Error message goes here'`, is for the sake of consistency. To clarify that,\n_express-validator_ module which is used for validating and sanitizing user's\ninput, returns all errors as an array of objects, where each object has a `msg`\nproperty with a message why an error has occurred. Here is a more general\nexample of what express-validator returns when there are errors present:\n\n```js\n[\n    { param: \"name\", msg: \"Name is required\", value: \"<received input>\" },\n    {\n        param: \"email\",\n        msg: \"A valid email is required\",\n        value: \"<received input>\",\n    },\n];\n```\n\nTo keep consistent with that style, you should pass all flash messages as\n`{ msg: 'My flash message' }` instead of a string. Otherwise, you will see an\nalert box without an error message. That is because in **partials/flash.pug**\ntemplate it will try to output `error.msg` (i.e. `\"My flash message\".msg`), in\nother words, it will try to call a `msg` method on a _String_ object, which will\nreturn _undefined_. Everything I just mentioned about errors, also applies to\n\"info\" and \"success\" flash messages, and you could even create a new one\nyourself, such as:\n\n**Data Usage Controller (Example)**\n\n```\nreq.flash('warning', { msg: 'You have exceeded 90% of your data usage' });\n```\n\n**User Account Page (Example)**\n\n```pug\nif messages.warning\n  .alert.alert-warning.fade.in\n    for warning in messages.warning\n      div= warning.msg\n```\n\n`partials/flash.pug` is a partial template that contains how flash messages are\nformatted. Previously, flash messages were scattered throughout each view that\nused flash messages (contact, login, signup, profile), but now, thankfully it\nuses a _DRY_ approach.\n\nThe flash messages partial template is _included_ in the `layout.pug`, along\nwith footer and navigation.\n\n```pug\nbody\n    include partials/header\n\n    .container\n      include partials/flash\n      block content\n\n    include partials/footer\n```\n\nIf you have any further questions about flash messages, please feel free to open\nan issue, and I will update this mini-guide accordingly, or send a pull request\nif you would like to include something that I missed.\n\n<hr>\n\n### How do I create a new page?\n\nA more correct way to say this would be \"How do I create a new route?\" The main\nfile `app.js` contains all the routes. Each route has a callback function\nassociated with it. Sometimes you will see three or more arguments for a route.\nIn a case like that, the first argument is still a URL string, while middle\narguments are what's called middleware. Think of middleware as a door. If this\ndoor prevents you from continuing forward, you won't get to your callback\nfunction. One such example is a route that requires authentication.\n\n```js\napp.get(\"/account\", passportConfig.isAuthenticated, userController.getAccount);\n```\n\nIt always goes from left to right. A user visits `/account` page. Then\n`isAuthenticated` middleware checks if you are authenticated:\n\n```js\nexports.isAuthenticated = (req, res, next) => {\n    if (req.isAuthenticated()) {\n        return next();\n    }\n    res.redirect(\"/login\");\n};\n```\n\nIf you are authenticated, you let this visitor pass through your \"door\" by\ncalling `return next();`. It then proceeds to the next middleware until it\nreaches the last argument, which is a callback function that typically renders a\ntemplate on `GET` requests or redirects on `POST` requests. In this case, if you\nare authenticated, you will be redirected to the _Account Management_ page;\notherwise, you will be redirected to the _Login_ page.\n\n```js\nexports.getAccount = (req, res) => {\n    res.render(\"account/profile\", {\n        title: \"Account Management\",\n    });\n};\n```\n\nExpress.js has `app.get`, `app.post`, `app.put`, `app.delete`, but for the most\npart, you will only use the first two HTTP verbs, unless you are building a\nRESTful API. If you just want to display a page, then use `GET`, if you are\nsubmitting a form, sending a file then use `POST`.\n\nHere is a typical workflow for adding new routes to your application. Let's say\nwe are building a page that lists all books from the database.\n\n**Step 1.** Start by defining a route.\n\n```js\napp.get(\"/books\", bookController.getBooks);\n```\n\n---\n\n**Note:** As of Express 4.x you can define your routes like so:\n\n```js\napp.route(\"/books\")\n    .get(bookController.getBooks)\n    .post(bookController.createBooks)\n    .put(bookController.updateBooks)\n    .delete(bookController.deleteBooks);\n```\n\nAnd here is how a route would look if it required an _authentication_ and an\n_authorization_ middleware:\n\n```js\napp.route(\"/api/twitter\")\n    .all(passportConfig.isAuthenticated)\n    .all(passportConfig.isAuthorized)\n    .get(apiController.getTwitter)\n    .post(apiController.postTwitter);\n```\n\nUse whichever style that makes sense to you. Either one is acceptable. I think\nthat chaining HTTP verbs on `app.route` is a very clean and elegant approach,\nbut on the other hand, I can no longer see all my routes at a glance when you\nhave one route per line.\n\n**Step 2.** Create a new schema and a model `Book.js` inside the _models_\ndirectory.\n\n```js\nconst mongoose = require(\"mongoose\");\n\nconst bookSchema = new mongoose.Schema({\n    name: String,\n});\n\nconst Book = mongoose.model(\"Book\", bookSchema);\nmodule.exports = Book;\n```\n\n**Step 3.** Create a new controller file called `book.js` inside the\n_controllers_ directory.\n\n```js\n/**\n * GET /books\n * List all books.\n */\nconst Book = require(\"../models/Book.js\");\n\nexports.getBooks = (req, res) => {\n    Book.find((err, docs) => {\n        res.render(\"books\", { books: docs });\n    });\n};\n```\n\n**Step 4.** Import that controller in `app.js`.\n\n```js\nconst bookController = require(\"./controllers/book\");\n```\n\n**Step 5.** Create `books.pug` template.\n\n```pug\nextends layout\n\nblock content\n  .page-header\n    h3 All Books\n\n  ul\n    for book in books\n      li= book.name\n```\n\nThat's it! I will say that you could have combined Step 1, 2, 3 as following:\n\n```js\napp.get(\"/books\", (req, res) => {\n    Book.find((err, docs) => {\n        res.render(\"books\", { books: docs });\n    });\n});\n```\n\nSure, it's simpler, but as soon as you pass 1000 lines of code in `app.js` it\nbecomes a little challenging to navigate the file. I mean, the whole point of\nthis boilerplate project was to separate concerns, so you could work with your\nteammates without running into _MERGE CONFLICTS_. Imagine you have four\ndevelopers working on a single `app.js`, I promise you it won't be fun resolving\nmerge conflicts all the time. If you are the only developer, then it's okay. But\nas I said, once it gets up to a certain LoC size, it becomes difficult to\nmaintain everything in a single file.\n\nThat's all there is to it. Express.js is super simple to use. Most of the time\nyou will be dealing with other APIs to do the real work:\n[Mongoose](http://mongoosejs.com/docs/guide.html) for querying database,\nsocket.io for sending and receiving messages over websockets, sending emails via\n[Nodemailer](http://nodemailer.com/), form validation using\n[express-validator](https://github.com/ctavan/express-validator) library,\nparsing websites using [Cheerio](https://github.com/cheeriojs/cheerio), etc.\n\n<hr>\n\n### How do I use Socket.io with Hackathon Starter?\n\n[Dan Stroot](https://github.com/dstroot) submitted an excellent\n[pull request](https://github.com/dstroot/hackathon-starter/commit/0a632def1ce8da446709d92812423d337c977d75)\nthat adds a real-time dashboard with socket.io. And as much as I'd like to add\nit to the project, I think it violates one of the main principles of the\nHackathon Starter:\n\n> When I started this project, my primary focus was on simplicity and ease of\n> use. I also tried to make it as generic and reusable as possible to cover most\n> use cases of hackathon web apps, **without being too specific**.\n\nWhen I need to use socket.io, I **really** need it, but most of the time - I\ndon't. But more importantly, websockets support is still experimental on most\nhosting providers. As of October 2013, Heroku supports websockets, but not until\nyou opt-in by running this command:\n\n```js\nheroku labs:enable websockets -a myapp\n```\n\nAnd what if you are deploying to OpenShift? They do support websockets, but it\nis currently in a preview state. So, for OpenShift you would need to change the\nsocket.io connect URI to the following:\n\n```js\nconst socket = io.connect(\"http://yoursite-namespace.rhcloud.com:8000\");\n```\n\nWait, why is it on port 8000? Who knows, and if I didn't run across this\n[blog post](http://velin-georgiev-blog.appspot.com/blog/set-up-nodejs-express-socketio-application-using-websockets-on-openshift-by-red-hat/)\nI wouldn't even know I had to use port 8000.\n\nI am really glad that Heroku and OpenShift at least have a websockets support,\nbecause many other PaaS providers still do not support it. Due to the\naforementioned issues with websockets, I cannot include socket.io as part of the\nHackathon Starter. _For now..._ If you need to use socket.io in your app, please\ncontinue reading.\n\nFirst, you need to install socket.io:\n\n```js\nnpm install socket.io\n```\n\nReplace `const app = express();` with the following code:\n\n```js\nconst app = express();\nconst server = require(\"http\").Server(app);\nconst io = require(\"socket.io\")(server);\n```\n\nI like to have the following code organization in `app.js` (from top to bottom):\nmodule dependencies, import controllers, import configs, connect to database,\nexpress configuration, routes, start the server, socket.io stuff. That way I\nalways know where to look for things.\n\nAdd the following code at the end of `app.js`:\n\n```js\nio.on(\"connection\", (socket) => {\n    socket.emit(\"greet\", { hello: \"Hey there browser!\" });\n    socket.on(\"respond\", (data) => {\n        console.log(data);\n    });\n    socket.on(\"disconnect\", () => {\n        console.log(\"Socket disconnected\");\n    });\n});\n```\n\nOne last thing left to change:\n\n```js\napp.listen(app.get('port'), () => {\n```\n\nto\n\n```js\nserver.listen(app.get('port'), () => {\n```\n\nAt this point, we are done with the back-end.\n\nYou now have a choice - to include your JavaScript code in Pug templates or have\nall your client-side JavaScript in a separate file - in `main.js`. I admit, when\nI first started with Node.js and JavaScript in general, I placed all JavaScript\ncode inside templates because I have access to template variables passed in from\nExpress right then and there. It's the easiest thing you can do, but also the\nleast efficient and harder to maintain. Since then I almost never include inline\nJavaScript inside templates anymore.\n\nBut it's also understandable if you want to take the easier road. Most of the\ntime you don't even care about performance during hackathons, you just want to\n[_\"get shit done\"_](https://www.startupvitamins.com/media/products/13/aaron_levie_poster_black.jpg)\nbefore the time runs out. Well, either way, use whichever approach makes more\nsense to you. At the end of the day, it's **what** you build that matters, not\n**how** you build it.\n\nIf you want to stick all your JavaScript inside templates, then in\n`layout.pug` - your main template file, add this to `head` block.\n\n```pug\nscript(src='/socket.io/socket.io.js')\nscript.\n    let socket = io.connect(window.location.href);\n    socket.on('greet', function (data) {\n      console.log(data);\n      socket.emit('respond', { message: 'Hey there, server!' });\n    });\n```\n\n**Note:** Notice the path of the `socket.io.js`, you don't actually have to have\n`socket.io.js` file anywhere in your project; it will be generated automatically\nat runtime.\n\nIf you want to have JavaScript code separate from templates, move that inline\nscript code into `main.js`, inside the `$(document).ready()` function:\n\n```js\n$(document).ready(function () {\n    // Place JavaScript code here...\n    let socket = io.connect(window.location.href);\n    socket.on(\"greet\", function (data) {\n        console.log(data);\n        socket.emit(\"respond\", { message: \"Hey there, server!\" });\n    });\n});\n```\n\nAnd we are done!\n\n## Cheatsheets\n\n### <img src=\"https://frontendmasters.com/assets/es6-logo.png\" height=\"34\" align=\"top\"> ES6 Cheatsheet\n\n#### Declarations\n\nDeclares a read-only named constant.\n\n```js\nconst name = \"yourName\";\n```\n\nDeclares a block scope local variable.\n\n```js\nlet index = 0;\n```\n\n#### Template Strings\n\nUsing the **\\`${}\\`** syntax, strings can embed expressions.\n\n```js\nconst name = \"Oggy\";\nconst age = 3;\n\nconsole.log(`My cat is named ${name} and is ${age} years old.`);\n```\n\n#### Modules\n\nTo import functions, objects or primitives exported from an external module.\nThese are the most common types of importing.\n\n```js\nconst name = require(\"module-name\");\n```\n\n```js\nconst { foo, bar } = require(\"module-name\");\n```\n\nTo export functions, objects or primitives from a given file or module.\n\n```js\nmodule.exports = { myFunction };\n```\n\n```js\nmodule.exports.name = \"yourName\";\n```\n\n```js\nmodule.exports = myFunctionOrClass;\n```\n\n#### Spread Operator\n\nThe spread operator allows an expression to be expanded in places where multiple\narguments (for function calls) or multiple elements (for array literals) are\nexpected.\n\n```js\nmyFunction(...iterableObject);\n```\n\n```jsx\n<ChildComponent {...this.props} />\n```\n\n#### Promises\n\nA Promise is used in asynchronous computations to represent an operation that\nhasn't completed yet, but is expected in the future.\n\n```js\nvar p = new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {});\n```\n\nThe `catch()` method returns a Promise and deals with rejected cases only.\n\n```js\np.catch(function (reason) {\n    /* handle rejection */\n});\n```\n\nThe `then()` method returns a Promise. It takes two arguments: callback for the\nsuccess & failure cases.\n\n```js\np.then(\n    function (value) {\n        /* handle fulfillment */\n    },\n    function (reason) {\n        /* handle rejection */\n    }\n);\n```\n\nThe `Promise.all(iterable)` method returns a promise that resolves when all of\nthe promises in the iterable argument have resolved or rejects with the reason\nof the first passed promise that rejects.\n\n```js\nPromise.all([p1, p2, p3]).then(function (values) {\n    console.log(values);\n});\n```\n\n#### Arrow Functions\n\nArrow function expression. Shorter syntax & lexically binds the `this` value.\nArrow functions are anonymous.\n\n```js\n(singleParam) => {\n    statements;\n};\n```\n\n```js\n() => {\n    statements;\n};\n```\n\n```js\n(param1, param2) => expression;\n```\n\n```js\nconst arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];\nconst squares = arr.map((x) => x * x);\n```\n\n#### Classes\n\nThe class declaration creates a new class using prototype-based inheritance.\n\n```js\nclass Person {\n    constructor(name, age, gender) {\n        this.name = name;\n        this.age = age;\n        this.gender = gender;\n    }\n\n    incrementAge() {\n        this.age++;\n    }\n}\n```\n\n:gift: **Credits**:\n[DuckDuckGo](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=es6+cheatsheet&ia=cheatsheet&iax=1) and\n[@DrkSephy](https://github.com/DrkSephy/es6-cheatsheet).\n\n:top: <sub>[**back to top**](#table-of-contents)</sub>\n\n### <img src=\"http://i.stack.imgur.com/Mmww2.png\" height=\"34\" align=\"top\"> JavaScript Date Cheatsheet\n\n#### Unix Timestamp (seconds)\n\n```js\nMath.floor(Date.now() / 1000);\n```\n\n```MomentJS\nmoment().unix();\n```\n\n#### Add 30 minutes to a Date object\n\n```js\nvar now = new Date();\nnow.setMinutes(now.getMinutes() + 30);\n```\n\n```MomentJS\nmoment().add(30, 'minutes');\n```\n\n#### Date Formatting\n\n```js\n// DD-MM-YYYY\nvar now = new Date();\n\nvar DD = now.getDate();\nvar MM = now.getMonth() + 1;\nvar YYYY = now.getFullYear();\n\nif (DD < 10) {\n    DD = \"0\" + DD;\n}\n\nif (MM < 10) {\n    MM = \"0\" + MM;\n}\n\nconsole.log(MM + \"-\" + DD + \"-\" + YYYY); // 03-30-2016\n```\n\n```MomentJS\nconsole.log(moment(new Date(), 'MM-DD-YYYY'));\n```\n\n```js\n// hh:mm (12 hour time with am/pm)\nvar now = new Date();\nvar hours = now.getHours();\nvar minutes = now.getMinutes();\nvar amPm = hours >= 12 ? \"pm\" : \"am\";\n\nhours = hours % 12;\nhours = hours ? hours : 12;\nminutes = minutes < 10 ? \"0\" + minutes : minutes;\n\nconsole.log(hours + \":\" + minutes + \" \" + amPm); // 1:43 am\n```\n\n```MomentJS\nconsole.log(moment(new Date(), 'hh:mm A'));\n```\n\n#### Next week Date object\n\n```js\nvar today = new Date();\nvar nextWeek = new Date(today.getTime() + 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);\n```\n\n```MomentJS\nmoment().add(7, 'days');\n```\n\n#### Yesterday Date object\n\n```js\nvar today = new Date();\nvar yesterday = date.setDate(date.getDate() - 1);\n```\n\n```MomentJS\nmoment().add(-1, 'days');\n```\n\n:top: <sub>[**back to top**](#table-of-contents)</sub>\n\n### Mongoose Cheatsheet\n\n#### Find all users:\n\n```js\nUser.find((err, users) => {\n    console.log(users);\n});\n```\n\n#### Find a user by email:\n\n```js\nlet userEmail = \"example@gmail.com\";\nUser.findOne({ email: userEmail }, (err, user) => {\n    console.log(user);\n});\n```\n\n#### Find 5 most recent user accounts:\n\n```js\nUser.find()\n    .sort({ _id: -1 })\n    .limit(5)\n    .exec((err, users) => {\n        console.log(users);\n    });\n```\n\n#### Get the total count of a field from all documents:\n\nLet's suppose that each user has a `votes` field and you would like to count the\ntotal number of votes in your database across all users. One very inefficient\nway would be to loop through each document and manually accumulate the count. Or\nyou could use\n[MongoDB Aggregation Framework](https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/core/aggregation-introduction/)\ninstead:\n\n```js\nUser.aggregate(\n    { $group: { _id: null, total: { $sum: \"$votes\" } } },\n    (err, votesCount) => {\n        console.log(votesCount.total);\n    }\n);\n```\n\n:top: <sub>[**back to top**](#table-of-contents)</sub>\n\n## Docker\n\nYou will need docker and docker-compose installed to build the application.\n\n-   [Docker installation](https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/)\n\n-   [Common problems setting up docker](https://docs.docker.com/toolbox/faqs/troubleshoot/)\n\nAfter installing docker, start the application with the following commands :\n\n```\n# To build the project for the first time or when you add dependencies\ndocker-compose build web\n\n# To start the application (or to restart after making changes to the source code)\ndocker-compose up web\n\n```\n\nTo view the app, find your docker IP address + port 8080 ( this will typically\nbe http://localhost:8080/ ). To use a port other than 8080, you would need to\nmodify the port in app.js, Dockerfile, and docker-compose.yml.\n\n## Deployment\n\nOnce you are ready to deploy your app, you will need to create an account with a\ncloud platform to host it. These are not the only choices, but they are my top\npicks. From my experience, the easiest way to get started is with **Heroku**. It\nwill automatically restart your Node.js process when it crashes, has\nzero-downtime deployments and supports custom domains on free accounts.\nAdditionally, you can create an account with **MongoDB Atlas** and then pick one\nof the _4_ providers below. Again, there are plenty of other choices, and you\nare not limited to just the ones listed below.\n\n### Deployment to Heroku\n\n<img src=\"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a9/Heroku_logo.png\" width=\"200\">\n\n-   Download and install [Heroku Toolbelt](https://toolbelt.heroku.com/)\n-   In a terminal, run `heroku login` and enter your Heroku credentials\n-   From _your app_ directory run `heroku create`\n-   Use the command `heroku config:set KEY=val` to set the different environment\n    variables (KEY=val) for your application (i.e.\n    `heroku config:set BASE_URL=[heroku App Name].herokuapp.com` or\n    `heroku config:set MONGODB_URI=mongodb://dbuser:<password>@cluster0-shard-00-00-sdf32.mongodb.net:27017,cluster0-shard-00-01-sdf32.mongodb.net:27017/<dbname>?ssl=true&retryWrites=true&w=majority`\n    (see Hosted MongoDB Atlas below), etc.) Make sure to set the environment\n    variables for SENDGRID_USER, SENDGRID_PASSWORD, and any other API that you\n    are using as well.\n-   Lastly, do `git push heroku master`.\n\nPlease note that you may also use the\n[Herko Dashboard](https://dashboard.heroku.com) to set or modify the\nconfigurations for your application.\n\n---\n\n### Hosted MongoDB Atlas\n\n<img src=\"https://www.mongodb.com/assets/images/global/MongoDB_Logo_Dark.svg\" width=\"200\">\n\n-   Go to\n    [https://www.mongodb.com/cloud/atlas](https://www.mongodb.com/cloud/atlas)\n-   Click the green **Get started free** button\n-   Fill in your information then hit **Get started free**\n-   You will be redirected to Create New Cluster page.\n-   Select a **Cloud Provider and Region** (such as AWS and a free tier region)\n-   Select cluster Tier to **Free Shared Clusters**\n-   Give Cluster a name (default: Cluster0)\n-   Click on green **:zap:Create Cluster button**\n-   Now, to access your database you need to create a DB user. To create a new\n    MongoDB user, from the **Clusters view**, select the **Security tab**\n-   Under the **MongoDB Users** tab, click on **+Add New User**\n-   Fill in a username and password and give it either **Atlas Admin** User\n    Privilege\n-   Next, you will need to create an IP address whitelist and obtain the\n    connection URI. In the Clusters view, under the cluster details (i.e.\n    SANDBOX - Cluster0), click on the **CONNECT** button.\n-   Under section **(1) Check the IP Whitelist**, click on **ALLOW ACCESS FROM\n    ANYWHERE**. The form will add a field with `0.0.0.0/0`. Click **SAVE** to\n    save the `0.0.0.0/0` whitelist.\n-   Under section **(2) Choose a connection method**, click on **Connect Your\n    Application**\n-   In the new screen, select **Node.js** as Driver and version **2.2.12 or\n    later**. _*WARNING*_: Do not pick 3.0 or later since connect-mongo can't\n    handle mongodb+srv:// connection strings.\n-   Finally, copy the URI connection string and replace the URI in MONGODB_URI\n    of `.env.example` with this URI string. Make sure to replace the <PASSWORD>\n    with the db User password that you created under the Security tab.\n-   Note that after some of the steps in the Atlas UI, you may see a banner\n    stating `We are deploying your changes`. You will need to wait for the\n    deployment to finish before using the DB in your application.\n\n**Note:** As an alternative to MongoDB Atlas, there is also\n[Compose](https://www.compose.io/).\n\n---\n\n### OpenShift\n\n<img src=\"http://www.opencloudconf.com/images/openshift_logo.png\" width=\"200\">\n**NOTE** *These instructions might be out of date due to changes in OpenShift. Heroku is currently a good free alternative.  If you the new process, please feel free to help us update this page*\n\n-   First, install this Ruby gem: `sudo gem install rhc` :gem:\n-   Run `rhc login` and enter your OpenShift credentials\n-   From your app directory run `rhc app create MyApp nodejs-0.10`\n-   **Note:** _MyApp_ is the name of your app (no spaces)\n-   Once that is done, you will be provided with **URL**, **SSH** and **Git\n    Remote** links\n-   Visit provided **URL**, and you should see the _Welcome to your Node.js\n    application on OpenShift_ page\n-   Copy and paste **Git Remote** into\n    `git remote add openshift YOUR_GIT_REMOTE`\n-   Before you push your app, you need to do a few modifications to your code\n\nAdd these two lines to `app.js`, just place them anywhere before `app.listen()`:\n\n```js\nvar IP_ADDRESS = process.env.OPENSHIFT_NODEJS_IP || \"127.0.0.1\";\nvar PORT = process.env.OPENSHIFT_NODEJS_PORT || 8080;\n```\n\nThen change `app.listen()` to:\n\n```js\napp.listen(PORT, IP_ADDRESS, () => {\n    console.log(\n        `Express server listening on port ${PORT} in ${app.settings.env} mode`\n    );\n});\n```\n\nAdd this to `package.json`, after _name_ and _version_. This is necessary\nbecause, by default, OpenShift looks for `server.js` file. And by specifying\n`supervisor app.js` it will automatically restart the server when node.js\nprocess crashes.\n\n```js\n\"main\": \"app.js\",\n\"scripts\": {\n  \"start\": \"supervisor app.js\"\n},\n```\n\n-   Finally, you can now push your code to OpenShift by running\n    `git push -f openshift master`\n-   **Note:** The first time you run this command, you have to pass `-f` (force)\n    flag because OpenShift creates a dummy server with the welcome page when you\n    create a new Node.js app. Passing `-f` flag will override everything with\n    your _Hackathon Starter_ project repository. **Do not** run `git pull` as it\n    will create unnecessary merge conflicts.\n-   And you are done!\n\n---\n\n### Azure\n\n<img src=\"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/ff/Windows_Azure_logo.png\" width=\"200\">\n**NOTE** *Beyond the initial 12 month trial of Azure, the platform does not seem to offer a free tier for hosting NodeJS apps.  If you are looking for a free tier service to host your app, Heroku might be a better choice at this point*\n\n-   Login to [Windows Azure Management Portal](https://manage.windowsazure.com/)\n-   Click the **+ NEW** button on the bottom left of the portal\n-   Click **COMPUTE**, then **WEB APP**, then **QUICK CREATE**\n-   Enter a name for **URL** and select the datacenter **REGION** for your web\n    site\n-   Click on **CREATE WEB APP** button\n-   Once the web site status changes to _Running_, click on the name of the web\n    site to access the Dashboard\n-   At the bottom right of the Quickstart page, select **Set up a deployment\n    from source control**\n-   Select **Local Git repository** from the list, and then click the arrow\n-   To enable Git publishing, Azure will ask you to create a user name and\n    password\n-   Once the Git repository is ready, you will be presented with a **GIT URL**\n-   Inside your _Hackathon Starter_ directory, run\n    `git remote add azure [Azure Git URL]`\n-   To push your changes run `git push azure master`\n-   **Note:** _You will be prompted for the password you created earlier_\n-   On **Deployments** tab of your Windows Azure Web App, you will see the\n    deployment history\n\n---\n\n## IBM Bluemix Cloud Platform\n\n**NOTE** _At this point it appears that Bluemix's free tier to host NodeJS apps\nis limited to 30 days.

you have attended any hackathons in the past, then you know how much time it\ntakes to get a project started: decide on what to build, pick a programming\nlanguage, pick a web framework, pick a CSS framework. A while later, you might\nhave an initial project up on GitHub and only then can other team members start\ncontributing. Or how about doing something as simple as _Sign in with Facebook_\nauthentication? You can spend hours on it if you are not familiar with how OAuth\n2.0 works.\n\nWhen I started this project, my primary focus was on **simplicity** and **ease\nof use**. I also tried to make it as **generic** and **reusable** as possible to\ncover most use cases of hackathon web apps, without being too specific. In the\nworst case, you can use this as a learning guide for your projects, if for\nexample you are only interested in **Sign in with Google** authentication and\nnothing else.\n\n### Testimonials\n\n> [**“Nice!

Alternatively, here is\nanother great tutorial for complete beginners -\n[Getting Started With Node.js, Express, MongoDB](http://cwbuecheler.com/web/tutorials/2013/node-express-mongo/).\n\n## Getting Started\n\nThe easiest way to get started is to clone the repository:\n\n```bash\n# Get the latest snapshot\ngit clone https://github.com/sahat/hackathon-starter.git myproject\n\n# Change directory\ncd myproject\n\n# Install NPM dependencies\nnpm install\n\n# Then simply start your app\nnode app.js\n```\n\n**Warning:** If you want to use some API that need https to work (for example\nPinterest or facebook), you will need to download [ngrok](https://ngrok.com/).\nYou must start ngrok after starting the project.\n\n```bash\n# start ngrok to intercept the data exchanged on port 8080\n./ngrok http 8080\n```\n\nNext, you must use the https URL defined by ngrok, for example,\n`https://hackaton.ngrok.io`\n\n**Note:** I highly recommend installing\n[Nodemon](https://github.com/remy/nodemon). It watches for any changes in your\nnode.js app and automatically restarts the server. Once installed, instead of\n`node app.js` use `nodemon app.js`. It will save you a lot of time in the long\nrun, because you won't need to manually restart the server each time you make a\nsmall change in code. To install, run `sudo npm install -g nodemon`.\n\n## Obtaining API Keys\n\nTo use any of the included APIs or OAuth authentication methods, you will need\nto obtain appropriate credentials: Client ID, Client Secret, API Key, or\nUsername & Password. You will need to go through each provider to generate new\ncredentials.\n\n<img src=\"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ad/RecaptchaLogo.svg/200px-RecaptchaLogo.svg.png\" width=\"200\">\n\n-   Visit\n    <a href=\"https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin\" target=\"_blank\">Google\n    reCAPTCHA Admin Console</a>\n-   Enter your application's name as the **Label**\n-   Chose **reCAPTCHA v2**, **\"I'm not a robot\" Checkbox**\n-   Enter _localhost_ as the domain. You can have other domains added in\n    addition to _localhost_\n-   Accept the terms and submit the form\n-   Copy the _Site Key_ and the _Secret key_ into `.env`. These keys will be\n    accessible under Settings, reCAPTCHA keys drop down if you need them again\n    later.\n\n<hr>\n\n<img src=\"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2f/Google_2015_logo.svg/1000px-Google_2015_logo.svg.png\" width=\"200\">\n\n-   Visit\n    <a href=\"https://cloud.google.com/console/project\" target=\"_blank\">Google\n    Cloud Console</a>\n-   Click on the **Create Project** button\n-   Enter _Project Name_, then click on **Create** button\n-   Then click on _APIs & auth_ in the sidebar and select _API_ tab\n-   Click on **Google+ API** under _Social APIs_, then click **Enable API**\n-   Click on **Google Drive API** under _G Suite_, then click **Enable API**\n-   Click on **Google Sheets API** under _G Suite_, then click **Enable API**\n-   Next, under _APIs & auth_ in the sidebar click on _Credentials_ tab\n-   Click on **Create new Client ID** button\n-   Select _Web Application_ and click on **Configure Consent Screen**\n-   Fill out the required fields then click on **Save**\n-   In the _Create Client ID_ modal dialog:\n-   **Application Type**: Web Application\n-   **Authorized Javascript origins**: http://localhost:8080\n-   **Authorized redirect URI**: http://localhost:8080/auth/google/callback\n-   Click on **Create Client ID** button\n-   Copy and paste _Client ID_ and _Client secret_ keys into `.env`\n\n**Note:** When you ready to deploy to production don't forget to add your new\nURL to _Authorized Javascript origins_ and _Authorized redirect URI_, e.g.\n`http://my-awesome-app.herokuapp.com` and\n`http://my-awesome-app.herokuapp.com/auth/google/callback` respectively.

when you\n    need to run multiple asynchronous tasks, and then render a page, but only\n    when all tasks are completed. For example, you might want to scrape three\n    different websites for some data and render the results in a template after\n    all three websites have been scraped.\n-   Need to find a specific object inside an Array? Use\n    [\\_.find](http://lodash.com/docs#find) function from Lodash. For example,\n    this is how you would retrieve a Twitter token from database:\n    `var token = _.find(req.user.tokens, { kind: 'twitter' });`, where 1st\n    parameter is an array, and a 2nd parameter is an object to search for.\n\n## FAQ\n\n### Why do I get `403 Error: Forbidden` when submitting a form?\n\nYou need to add the following hidden input element to your form. This has been\nadded in the\n[pull request #40](https://github.com/sahat/hackathon-starter/pull/40) as part\nof the CSRF protection.\n\n```\ninput(type='hidden', name='_csrf', value=_csrf)\n```\n\n**Note:** It is now possible to whitelist certain URLs. In other words you can\nspecify a list of routes that should bypass CSRF verification check.\n\n**Note 2:** To whitelist dynamic URLs use regular expression tests inside the\nCSRF middleware to see if `req.originalUrl` matches your desired pattern.\n\n### I am getting MongoDB Connection Error, how do I fix it?\n\nThat's a custom error message defined in `app.js` to indicate that there was a\nproblem connecting to MongoDB:\n\n```js\nmongoose.connection.on(\"error\", (err) => {\n    console.error(err);\n    console.log(\n        \"%s MongoDB connection error. Please make sure MongoDB is running.\",\n        chalk.red(\"✗\")\n    );\n    process.exit();\n});\n```\n\nYou need to have a MongoDB server running before launching `app.js`. You can\ndownload MongoDB [here](https://www.mongodb.com/download-center/community), or\ninstall it via a package manager.\n<img src=\"http://dc942d419843af05523b-ff74ae13537a01be6cfec5927837dcfe.r14.cf1.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/windows-8-50x50.jpg\" height=\"17\">\nWindows users, read\n[Install MongoDB on Windows](https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-windows/).\n\n**Tip:** If you are always connected to the internet, you could just use\n[MongoDB Atlas](https://www.mongodb.com/cloud/atlas) or\n[Compose](https://www.compose.io/) instead of downloading and installing MongoDB\nlocally. You will only need to update database credentials in `.env` file.\n\n### I get an error when I deploy my app, why?\n\nChances are you haven't changed the _Database URI_ in `.env`. If `MONGODB` is\nset to `localhost`, it will only work on your machine as long as MongoDB is\nrunning. When you deploy to Heroku, OpenShift or some other provider, you will\nnot have MongoDB running on `localhost`. You need to create an account with\n[MongoDB Atlas](https://www.mongodb.com/cloud/atlas) or\n[Compose](https://www.compose.io/), then create a free tier database. See\n[Deployment](#deployment) for more information on how to setup an account and a\nnew database step-by-step with MongoDB Atlas.\n\n### Why Pug (Jade) instead of Handlebars?\n\nWhen I first started this project I didn't have any experience with Handlebars.\nSince then I have worked on Ember.js apps and got myself familiar with the\nHandlebars syntax. While it is true Handlebars is easier, because it looks like\ngood old HTML, I have no regrets picking Jade over Handlebars. First off, it's\nthe default template engine in Express, so someone who has built Express apps in\nthe past already knows it. Secondly, I find `extends` and `block` to be\nindispensable, which as far as I know, Handlebars does not have out of the box.\nAnd lastly, subjectively speaking, Jade looks much cleaner and shorter than\nHandlebars, or any non-HAML style for that matter.\n\n### Why do you have all routes defined in app.js?\n\nFor the sake of simplicity. While there might be a better approach, such as\npassing `app` context to each controller as outlined in this\n[blog](http://timstermatic.github.io/blog/2013/08/17/a-simple-mvc-framework-with-node-and-express/),\nI find such style to be confusing for beginners. It took me a long time to grasp\nthe concept of `exports` and `module.exports`, let alone having a global `app`\nreference in other files. That to me is backward thinking. The `app.js` is the\n\"heart of the app\", it should be the one referencing models, routes,\ncontrollers, etc. When working solo on small projects, I prefer to have\neverything inside `app.js` as is the case with\n[this](<(https://github.com/sahat/ember-sass-express-starter/blob/master/app.js)>)\nREST API server.\n\n### How do I switch SendGrid for another email delivery service, like Mailgun or SparkPost?\n\nInside the `nodemailer.createTransport` method arguments, change the service\nfrom `'Sendgrid'` to some other email service. Also, be sure to update both\nusername and password below that. See the\n[list of all supported services](https://github.com/nodemailer/nodemailer-wellknown#supported-services)\nby Nodemailer.\n\n## How It Works (mini guides)\n\nThis section is intended for giving you a detailed explanation of how a\nparticular functionality works. Maybe you are just curious about how it works,\nor perhaps you are lost and confused while reading the code, I hope it provides\nsome guidance to you.\n\n### Custom HTML and CSS Design 101\n\n[HTML5 UP](http://html5up.net/) has many beautiful templates that you can\ndownload for free.\n\nWhen you download the ZIP file, it will come with _index.html_, _images_, _css_\nand _js_ folders. So, how do you integrate it with Hackathon Starter? Hackathon\nStarter uses Bootstrap CSS framework, but these templates do not. Trying to use\nboth CSS files at the same time will likely result in undesired effects.\n\n**Note:** Using the custom templates approach, you should understand that you\ncannot reuse any of the views I have created: layout, home page, api browser,\nlogin, signup, account management, contact. Those views were built using\nBootstrap grid and styles. You will have to manually update the grid using a\ndifferent syntax provided in the template. **Having said that, you can mix and\nmatch if you want to do so: Use Bootstrap for main app interface, and a custom\ntemplate for a landing page.**\n\nLet's start from the beginning. For this example I will use\n[Escape Velocity](http://html5up.net/escape-velocity/) template:\n![Alt](http://html5up.net/uploads/images/escape-velocity.jpg)\n\n**Note:** For the sake of simplicity I will only consider `index.html`, and skip\n`left-sidebar.html`, `no-sidebar.html`, `right-sidebar.html`.\n\nMove all JavaScript files from `html5up-escape-velocity/js` to `public/js`. Then\nmove all CSS files from `html5up-escape-velocity/css` to `public/css`. And\nfinally, move all images from `html5up-escape-velocity/images` to\n`public/images`. You could move it to the existing **img** folder, but that\nwould require manually changing every `img` reference. Grab the contents of\n`index.html` and paste it into [HTML To Pug](https://html-to-pug.com/).\n\n**Note:** Do not forget to update all the CSS and JS paths accordingly.\n\nCreate a new file `escape-velocity.pug` and paste the Pug markup in `views`\nfolder. Whenever you see the code `res.render('account/login')` - that means it\nwill search for `views/account/login.pug` file.\n\nLet's see how it looks. Create a new controller **escapeVelocity** inside\n`controllers/home.js`:\n\n```js\nexports.escapeVelocity = (req, res) => {\n    res.render(\"escape-velocity\", {\n        title: \"Landing Page\",\n    });\n};\n```\n\nAnd then create a route in `app.js`. I placed it right after the index\ncontroller:\n\n```js\napp.get(\"/escape-velocity\", homeController.escapeVelocity);\n```\n\nRestart the server (if you are not using **nodemon**); then you should see the\nnew template at\n[http://localhost:8080/escape-velocity](http://localhost:8080/escape-velocity).\n\nI will stop right here, but if you would like to use this template as more than\njust a single page, take a look at how these Pug templates work: `layout.pug` -\nbase template, `index.pug` - home page, `partials/header.pug` - Bootstrap\nnavbar, `partials/footer.pug` - sticky footer. You will have to manually break\nit apart into smaller pieces. Figure out which part of the template you want to\nkeep the same on all pages - that's your new `layout.pug`. Then, each page that\nchanges, be it `index.pug`, `about.pug`, `contact.pug` will be embedded in your\nnew `layout.pug` via `block content`. Use existing templates as a reference.\n\nThis is a rather lengthy process, and templates you get from elsewhere might\nhave yet another grid system. That's why I chose _Bootstrap_ for the Hackathon\nStarter. Many people are already familiar with _Bootstrap_, plus it's easy to\nget started with it if you have never used _Bootstrap_. You can also buy many\nbeautifully designed _Bootstrap_ themes at\n[Themeforest](http://themeforest.net/), and use them as a drop-in replacement\nfor Hackathon Starter. However, if you would like to go with a completely custom\nHTML/CSS design, this should help you to get started!\n\n<hr>\n\n### How do flash messages work in this project?\n\nFlash messages allow you to display a message at the end of the request and\naccess it on next request and only next request. For instance, on a failed login\nattempt, you would display an alert with some error message, but as soon as you\nrefresh that page or visit a different page and come back to the login page,\nthat error message will be gone. It is only displayed once. This project uses\n_express-flash_ module for flash messages. And that module is built on top of\n_connect-flash_, which is what I used in this project initially. With\n_express-flash_ you don't have to explicitly send a flash message to every view\ninside `res.render()`. All flash messages are available in your views via\n`messages` object by default, thanks to _express-flash_.\n\nFlash messages have a two-step process. You use\n`req.flash('errors', { msg: 'Error messages goes here' }` to create a flash\nmessage in your controllers, and then display them in your views:\n\n```pug\nif messages.errors\n  .alert.alert-danger.fade.in\n    for error in messages.errors\n      div= error.msg\n```\n\nIn the first step, `'errors'` is the name of a flash message, which should match\nthe name of the property on `messages` object in your views. You place alert\nmessages inside `if message.errors` because you don't want to show them flash\nmessages are present. The reason why you pass an error like\n`{ msg: 'Error message goes here' }` instead of just a string -\n`'Error message goes here'`, is for the sake of consistency. To clarify that,\n_express-validator_ module which is used for validating and sanitizing user's\ninput, returns all errors as an array of objects, where each object has a `msg`\nproperty with a message why an error has occurred. Here is a more general\nexample of what express-validator returns when there are errors present:\n\n```js\n[\n    { param: \"name\", msg: \"Name is required\", value: \"<received input>\" },\n    {\n        param: \"email\",\n        msg: \"A valid email is required\",\n        value: \"<received input>\",\n    },\n];\n```\n\nTo keep consistent with that style, you should pass all flash messages as\n`{ msg: 'My flash message' }` instead of a string. Otherwise, you will see an\nalert box without an error message. That is because in **partials/flash.pug**\ntemplate it will try to output `error.msg` (i.e. `\"My flash message\".msg`), in\nother words, it will try to call a `msg` method on a _String_ object, which will\nreturn _undefined_. Everything I just mentioned about errors, also applies to\n\"info\" and \"success\" flash messages, and you could even create a new one\nyourself, such as:\n\n**Data Usage Controller (Example)**\n\n```\nreq.flash('warning', { msg: 'You have exceeded 90% of your data usage' });\n```\n\n**User Account Page (Example)**\n\n```pug\nif messages.warning\n  .alert.alert-warning.fade.in\n    for warning in messages.warning\n      div= warning.msg\n```\n\n`partials/flash.pug` is a partial template that contains how flash messages are\nformatted. Previously, flash messages were scattered throughout each view that\nused flash messages (contact, login, signup, profile), but now, thankfully it\nuses a _DRY_ approach.\n\nThe flash messages partial template is _included_ in the `layout.pug`, along\nwith footer and navigation.\n\n```pug\nbody\n    include partials/header\n\n    .container\n      include partials/flash\n      block content\n\n    include partials/footer\n```\n\nIf you have any further questions about flash messages, please feel free to open\nan issue, and I will update this mini-guide accordingly, or send a pull request\nif you would like to include something that I missed.\n\n<hr>\n\n### How do I create a new page?\n\nA more correct way to say this would be \"How do I create a new route?\" The main\nfile `app.js` contains all the routes. Each route has a callback function\nassociated with it. Sometimes you will see three or more arguments for a route.\nIn a case like that, the first argument is still a URL string, while middle\narguments are what's called middleware. Think of middleware as a door. If this\ndoor prevents you from continuing forward, you won't get to your callback\nfunction. One such example is a route that requires authentication.\n\n```js\napp.get(\"/account\", passportConfig.isAuthenticated, userController.getAccount);\n```\n\nIt always goes from left to right. A user visits `/account` page. Then\n`isAuthenticated` middleware checks if you are authenticated:\n\n```js\nexports.isAuthenticated = (req, res, next) => {\n    if (req.isAuthenticated()) {\n        return next();\n    }\n    res.redirect(\"/login\");\n};\n```\n\nIf you are authenticated, you let this visitor pass through your \"door\" by\ncalling `return next();`. It then proceeds to the next middleware until it\nreaches the last argument, which is a callback function that typically renders a\ntemplate on `GET` requests or redirects on `POST` requests. In this case, if you\nare authenticated, you will be redirected to the _Account Management_ page;\notherwise, you will be redirected to the _Login_ page.\n\n```js\nexports.getAccount = (req, res) => {\n    res.render(\"account/profile\", {\n        title: \"Account Management\",\n    });\n};\n```\n\nExpress.js has `app.get`, `app.post`, `app.put`, `app.delete`, but for the most\npart, you will only use the first two HTTP verbs, unless you are building a\nRESTful API. If you just want to display a page, then use `GET`, if you are\nsubmitting a form, sending a file then use `POST`.\n\nHere is a typical workflow for adding new routes to your application. Let's say\nwe are building a page that lists all books from the database.\n\n**Step 1.** Start by defining a route.\n\n```js\napp.get(\"/books\", bookController.getBooks);\n```\n\n---\n\n**Note:** As of Express 4.x you can define your routes like so:\n\n```js\napp.route(\"/books\")\n    .get(bookController.getBooks)\n    .post(bookController.createBooks)\n    .put(bookController.updateBooks)\n    .delete(bookController.deleteBooks);\n```\n\nAnd here is how a route would look if it required an _authentication_ and an\n_authorization_ middleware:\n\n```js\napp.route(\"/api/twitter\")\n    .all(passportConfig.isAuthenticated)\n    .all(passportConfig.isAuthorized)\n    .get(apiController.getTwitter)\n    .post(apiController.postTwitter);\n```\n\nUse whichever style that makes sense to you. Either one is acceptable. I think\nthat chaining HTTP verbs on `app.route` is a very clean and elegant approach,\nbut on the other hand, I can no longer see all my routes at a glance when you\nhave one route per line.\n\n**Step 2.** Create a new schema and a model `Book.js` inside the _models_\ndirectory.\n\n```js\nconst mongoose = require(\"mongoose\");\n\nconst bookSchema = new mongoose.Schema({\n    name: String,\n});\n\nconst Book = mongoose.model(\"Book\", bookSchema);\nmodule.exports = Book;\n```\n\n**Step 3.** Create a new controller file called `book.js` inside the\n_controllers_ directory.\n\n```js\n/**\n * GET /books\n * List all books.\n */\nconst Book = require(\"../models/Book.js\");\n\nexports.getBooks = (req, res) => {\n    Book.find((err, docs) => {\n        res.render(\"books\", { books: docs });\n    });\n};\n```\n\n**Step 4.** Import that controller in `app.js`.\n\n```js\nconst bookController = require(\"./controllers/book\");\n```\n\n**Step 5.** Create `books.pug` template.\n\n```pug\nextends layout\n\nblock content\n  .page-header\n    h3 All Books\n\n  ul\n    for book in books\n      li= book.name\n```\n\nThat's it! I will say that you could have combined Step 1, 2, 3 as following:\n\n```js\napp.get(\"/books\", (req, res) => {\n    Book.find((err, docs) => {\n        res.render(\"books\", { books: docs });\n    });\n});\n```\n\nSure, it's simpler, but as soon as you pass 1000 lines of code in `app.js` it\nbecomes a little challenging to navigate the file. I mean, the whole point of\nthis boilerplate project was to separate concerns, so you could work with your\nteammates without running into _MERGE CONFLICTS_. Imagine you have four\ndevelopers working on a single `app.js`, I promise you it won't be fun resolving\nmerge conflicts all the time. If you are the only developer, then it's okay. But\nas I said, once it gets up to a certain LoC size, it becomes difficult to\nmaintain everything in a single file.\n\nThat's all there is to it. Express.js is super simple to use. Most of the time\nyou will be dealing with other APIs to do the real work:\n[Mongoose](http://mongoosejs.com/docs/guide.html) for querying database,\nsocket.io for sending and receiving messages over websockets, sending emails via\n[Nodemailer](http://nodemailer.com/), form validation using\n[express-validator](https://github.com/ctavan/express-validator) library,\nparsing websites using [Cheerio](https://github.com/cheeriojs/cheerio), etc.\n\n<hr>\n\n### How do I use Socket.io with Hackathon Starter?\n\n[Dan Stroot](https://github.com/dstroot) submitted an excellent\n[pull request](https://github.com/dstroot/hackathon-starter/commit/0a632def1ce8da446709d92812423d337c977d75)\nthat adds a real-time dashboard with socket.io. And as much as I'd like to add\nit to the project, I think it violates one of the main principles of the\nHackathon Starter:\n\n> When I started this project, my primary focus was on simplicity and ease of\n> use. I also tried to make it as generic and reusable as possible to cover most\n> use cases of hackathon web apps, **without being too specific**.\n\nWhen I need to use socket.io, I **really** need it, but most of the time - I\ndon't. But more importantly, websockets support is still experimental on most\nhosting providers. As of October 2013, Heroku supports websockets, but not until\nyou opt-in by running this command:\n\n```js\nheroku labs:enable websockets -a myapp\n```\n\nAnd what if you are deploying to OpenShift? They do support websockets, but it\nis currently in a preview state. So, for OpenShift you would need to change the\nsocket.io connect URI to the following:\n\n```js\nconst socket = io.connect(\"http://yoursite-namespace.rhcloud.com:8000\");\n```\n\nWait, why is it on port 8000? Who knows, and if I didn't run across this\n[blog post](http://velin-georgiev-blog.appspot.com/blog/set-up-nodejs-express-socketio-application-using-websockets-on-openshift-by-red-hat/)\nI wouldn't even know I had to use port 8000.\n\nI am really glad that Heroku and OpenShift at least have a websockets support,\nbecause many other PaaS providers still do not support it. Due to the\naforementioned issues with websockets, I cannot include socket.io as part of the\nHackathon Starter. _For now..._ If you need to use socket.io in your app, please\ncontinue reading.\n\nFirst, you need to install socket.io:\n\n```js\nnpm install socket.io\n```\n\nReplace `const app = express();` with the following code:\n\n```js\nconst app = express();\nconst server = require(\"http\").Server(app);\nconst io = require(\"socket.io\")(server);\n```\n\nI like to have the following code organization in `app.js` (from top to bottom):\nmodule dependencies, import controllers, import configs, connect to database,\nexpress configuration, routes, start the server, socket.io stuff. That way I\nalways know where to look for things.\n\nAdd the following code at the end of `app.js`:\n\n```js\nio.on(\"connection\", (socket) => {\n    socket.emit(\"greet\", { hello: \"Hey there browser!\" });\n    socket.on(\"respond\", (data) => {\n        console.log(data);\n    });\n    socket.on(\"disconnect\", () => {\n        console.log(\"Socket disconnected\");\n    });\n});\n```\n\nOne last thing left to change:\n\n```js\napp.listen(app.get('port'), () => {\n```\n\nto\n\n```js\nserver.listen(app.get('port'), () => {\n```\n\nAt this point, we are done with the back-end.\n\nYou now have a choice - to include your JavaScript code in Pug templates or have\nall your client-side JavaScript in a separate file - in `main.js`. I admit, when\nI first started with Node.js and JavaScript in general, I placed all JavaScript\ncode inside templates because I have access to template variables passed in from\nExpress right then and there. It's the easiest thing you can do, but also the\nleast efficient and harder to maintain. Since then I almost never include inline\nJavaScript inside templates anymore.\n\nBut it's also understandable if you want to take the easier road. Most of the\ntime you don't even care about performance during hackathons, you just want to\n[_\"get shit done\"_](https://www.startupvitamins.com/media/products/13/aaron_levie_poster_black.jpg)\nbefore the time runs out. Well, either way, use whichever approach makes more\nsense to you. At the end of the day, it's **what** you build that matters, not\n**how** you build it.\n\nIf you want to stick all your JavaScript inside templates, then in\n`layout.pug` - your main template file, add this to `head` block.\n\n```pug\nscript(src='/socket.io/socket.io.js')\nscript.\n    let socket = io.connect(window.location.href);\n    socket.on('greet', function (data) {\n      console.log(data);\n      socket.emit('respond', { message: 'Hey there, server!' });\n    });\n```\n\n**Note:** Notice the path of the `socket.io.js`, you don't actually have to have\n`socket.io.js` file anywhere in your project; it will be generated automatically\nat runtime.\n\nIf you want to have JavaScript code separate from templates, move that inline\nscript code into `main.js`, inside the `$(document).ready()` function:\n\n```js\n$(document).ready(function () {\n    // Place JavaScript code here...\n    let socket = io.connect(window.location.href);\n    socket.on(\"greet\", function (data) {\n        console.log(data);\n        socket.emit(\"respond\", { message: \"Hey there, server!\" });\n    });\n});\n```\n\nAnd we are done!\n\n## Cheatsheets\n\n### <img src=\"https://frontendmasters.com/assets/es6-logo.png\" height=\"34\" align=\"top\"> ES6 Cheatsheet\n\n#### Declarations\n\nDeclares a read-only named constant.\n\n```js\nconst name = \"yourName\";\n```\n\nDeclares a block scope local variable.\n\n```js\nlet index = 0;\n```\n\n#### Template Strings\n\nUsing the **\\`${}\\`** syntax, strings can embed expressions.\n\n```js\nconst name = \"Oggy\";\nconst age = 3;\n\nconsole.log(`My cat is named ${name} and is ${age} years old.`);\n```\n\n#### Modules\n\nTo import functions, objects or primitives exported from an external module.\nThese are the most common types of importing.\n\n```js\nconst name = require(\"module-name\");\n```\n\n```js\nconst { foo, bar } = require(\"module-name\");\n```\n\nTo export functions, objects or primitives from a given file or module.\n\n```js\nmodule.exports = { myFunction };\n```\n\n```js\nmodule.exports.name = \"yourName\";\n```\n\n```js\nmodule.exports = myFunctionOrClass;\n```\n\n#### Spread Operator\n\nThe spread operator allows an expression to be expanded in places where multiple\narguments (for function calls) or multiple elements (for array literals) are\nexpected.\n\n```js\nmyFunction(...iterableObject);\n```\n\n```jsx\n<ChildComponent {...this.props} />\n```\n\n#### Promises\n\nA Promise is used in asynchronous computations to represent an operation that\nhasn't completed yet, but is expected in the future.\n\n```js\nvar p = new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {});\n```\n\nThe `catch()` method returns a Promise and deals with rejected cases only.\n\n```js\np.catch(function (reason) {\n    /* handle rejection */\n});\n```\n\nThe `then()` method returns a Promise. It takes two arguments: callback for the\nsuccess & failure cases.\n\n```js\np.then(\n    function (value) {\n        /* handle fulfillment */\n    },\n    function (reason) {\n        /* handle rejection */\n    }\n);\n```\n\nThe `Promise.all(iterable)` method returns a promise that resolves when all of\nthe promises in the iterable argument have resolved or rejects with the reason\nof the first passed promise that rejects.\n\n```js\nPromise.all([p1, p2, p3]).then(function (values) {\n    console.log(values);\n});\n```\n\n#### Arrow Functions\n\nArrow function expression. Shorter syntax & lexically binds the `this` value.\nArrow functions are anonymous.\n\n```js\n(singleParam) => {\n    statements;\n};\n```\n\n```js\n() => {\n    statements;\n};\n```\n\n```js\n(param1, param2) => expression;\n```\n\n```js\nconst arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];\nconst squares = arr.map((x) => x * x);\n```\n\n#### Classes\n\nThe class declaration creates a new class using prototype-based inheritance.\n\n```js\nclass Person {\n    constructor(name, age, gender) {\n        this.name = name;\n        this.age = age;\n        this.gender = gender;\n    }\n\n    incrementAge() {\n        this.age++;\n    }\n}\n```\n\n:gift: **Credits**:\n[DuckDuckGo](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=es6+cheatsheet&ia=cheatsheet&iax=1) and\n[@DrkSephy](https://github.com/DrkSephy/es6-cheatsheet).\n\n:top: <sub>[**back to top**](#table-of-contents)</sub>\n\n### <img src=\"http://i.stack.imgur.com/Mmww2.png\" height=\"34\" align=\"top\"> JavaScript Date Cheatsheet\n\n#### Unix Timestamp (seconds)\n\n```js\nMath.floor(Date.now() / 1000);\n```\n\n```MomentJS\nmoment().unix();\n```\n\n#### Add 30 minutes to a Date object\n\n```js\nvar now = new Date();\nnow.setMinutes(now.getMinutes() + 30);\n```\n\n```MomentJS\nmoment().add(30, 'minutes');\n```\n\n#### Date Formatting\n\n```js\n// DD-MM-YYYY\nvar now = new Date();\n\nvar DD = now.getDate();\nvar MM = now.getMonth() + 1;\nvar YYYY = now.getFullYear();\n\nif (DD < 10) {\n    DD = \"0\" + DD;\n}\n\nif (MM < 10) {\n    MM = \"0\" + MM;\n}\n\nconsole.log(MM + \"-\" + DD + \"-\" + YYYY); // 03-30-2016\n```\n\n```MomentJS\nconsole.log(moment(new Date(), 'MM-DD-YYYY'));\n```\n\n```js\n// hh:mm (12 hour time with am/pm)\nvar now = new Date();\nvar hours = now.getHours();\nvar minutes = now.getMinutes();\nvar amPm = hours >= 12 ? \"pm\" : \"am\";\n\nhours = hours % 12;\nhours = hours ? hours : 12;\nminutes = minutes < 10 ? \"0\" + minutes : minutes;\n\nconsole.log(hours + \":\" + minutes + \" \" + amPm); // 1:43 am\n```\n\n```MomentJS\nconsole.log(moment(new Date(), 'hh:mm A'));\n```\n\n#### Next week Date object\n\n```js\nvar today = new Date();\nvar nextWeek = new Date(today.getTime() + 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);\n```\n\n```MomentJS\nmoment().add(7, 'days');\n```\n\n#### Yesterday Date object\n\n```js\nvar today = new Date();\nvar yesterday = date.setDate(date.getDate() - 1);\n```\n\n```MomentJS\nmoment().add(-1, 'days');\n```\n\n:top: <sub>[**back to top**](#table-of-contents)</sub>\n\n### Mongoose Cheatsheet\n\n#### Find all users:\n\n```js\nUser.find((err, users) => {\n    console.log(users);\n});\n```\n\n#### Find a user by email:\n\n```js\nlet userEmail = \"example@gmail.com\";\nUser.findOne({ email: userEmail }, (err, user) => {\n    console.log(user);\n});\n```\n\n#### Find 5 most recent user accounts:\n\n```js\nUser.find()\n    .sort({ _id: -1 })\n    .limit(5)\n    .exec((err, users) => {\n        console.log(users);\n    });\n```\n\n#### Get the total count of a field from all documents:\n\nLet's suppose that each user has a `votes` field and you would like to count the\ntotal number of votes in your database across all users. One very inefficient\nway would be to loop through each document and manually accumulate the count. Or\nyou could use\n[MongoDB Aggregation Framework](https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/core/aggregation-introduction/)\ninstead:\n\n```js\nUser.aggregate(\n    { $group: { _id: null, total: { $sum: \"$votes\" } } },\n    (err, votesCount) => {\n        console.log(votesCount.total);\n    }\n);\n```\n\n:top: <sub>[**back to top**](#table-of-contents)</sub>\n\n## Docker\n\nYou will need docker and docker-compose installed to build the application.\n\n-   [Docker installation](https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/)\n\n-   [Common problems setting up docker](https://docs.docker.com/toolbox/faqs/troubleshoot/)\n\nAfter installing docker, start the application with the following commands :\n\n```\n# To build the project for the first time or when you add dependencies\ndocker-compose build web\n\n# To start the application (or to restart after making changes to the source code)\ndocker-compose up web\n\n```\n\nTo view the app, find your docker IP address + port 8080 ( this will typically\nbe http://localhost:8080/ ). To use a port other than 8080, you would need to\nmodify the port in app.js, Dockerfile, and docker-compose.yml.\n\n## Deployment\n\nOnce you are ready to deploy your app, you will need to create an account with a\ncloud platform to host it. These are not the only choices, but they are my top\npicks. From my experience, the easiest way to get started is with **Heroku**. It\nwill automatically restart your Node.js process when it crashes, has\nzero-downtime deployments and supports custom domains on free accounts.\nAdditionally, you can create an account with **MongoDB Atlas** and then pick one\nof the _4_ providers below. Again, there are plenty of other choices, and you\nare not limited to just the ones listed below.\n\n### Deployment to Heroku\n\n<img src=\"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a9/Heroku_logo.png\" width=\"200\">\n\n-   Download and install [Heroku Toolbelt](https://toolbelt.heroku.com/)\n-   In a terminal, run `heroku login` and enter your Heroku credentials\n-   From _your app_ directory run `heroku create`\n-   Use the command `heroku config:set KEY=val` to set the different environment\n    variables (KEY=val) for your application (i.e.\n    `heroku config:set BASE_URL=[heroku App Name].herokuapp.com` or\n    `heroku config:set MONGODB_URI=mongodb://dbuser:<password>@cluster0-shard-00-00-sdf32.mongodb.net:27017,cluster0-shard-00-01-sdf32.mongodb.net:27017/<dbname>?ssl=true&retryWrites=true&w=majority`\n    (see Hosted MongoDB Atlas below), etc.) Make sure to set the environment\n    variables for SENDGRID_USER, SENDGRID_PASSWORD, and any other API that you\n    are using as well.\n-   Lastly, do `git push heroku master`.\n\nPlease note that you may also use the\n[Herko Dashboard](https://dashboard.heroku.com) to set or modify the\nconfigurations for your application.\n\n---\n\n### Hosted MongoDB Atlas\n\n<img src=\"https://www.mongodb.com/assets/images/global/MongoDB_Logo_Dark.svg\" width=\"200\">\n\n-   Go to\n    [https://www.mongodb.com/cloud/atlas](https://www.mongodb.com/cloud/atlas)\n-   Click the green **Get started free** button\n-   Fill in your information then hit **Get started free**\n-   You will be redirected to Create New Cluster page.\n-   Select a **Cloud Provider and Region** (such as AWS and a free tier region)\n-   Select cluster Tier to **Free Shared Clusters**\n-   Give Cluster a name (default: Cluster0)\n-   Click on green **:zap:Create Cluster button**\n-   Now, to access your database you need to create a DB user. To create a new\n    MongoDB user, from the **Clusters view**, select the **Security tab**\n-   Under the **MongoDB Users** tab, click on **+Add New User**\n-   Fill in a username and password and give it either **Atlas Admin** User\n    Privilege\n-   Next, you will need to create an IP address whitelist and obtain the\n    connection URI. In the Clusters view, under the cluster details (i.e.\n    SANDBOX - Cluster0), click on the **CONNECT** button.\n-   Under section **(1) Check the IP Whitelist**, click on **ALLOW ACCESS FROM\n    ANYWHERE**. The form will add a field with `0.0.0.0/0`. Click **SAVE** to\n    save the `0.0.0.0/0` whitelist.\n-   Under section **(2) Choose a connection method**, click on **Connect Your\n    Application**\n-   In the new screen, select **Node.js** as Driver and version **2.2.12 or\n    later**. _*WARNING*_: Do not pick 3.0 or later since connect-mongo can't\n    handle mongodb+srv:// connection strings.\n-   Finally, copy the URI connection string and replace the URI in MONGODB_URI\n    of `.env.example` with this URI string. Make sure to replace the <PASSWORD>\n    with the db User password that you created under the Security tab.\n-   Note that after some of the steps in the Atlas UI, you may see a banner\n    stating `We are deploying your changes`. You will need to wait for the\n    deployment to finish before using the DB in your application.\n\n**Note:** As an alternative to MongoDB Atlas, there is also\n[Compose](https://www.compose.io/).\n\n---\n\n### OpenShift\n\n<img src=\"http://www.opencloudconf.com/images/openshift_logo.png\" width=\"200\">\n**NOTE** *These instructions might be out of date due to changes in OpenShift. Heroku is currently a good free alternative.  If you the new process, please feel free to help us update this page*\n\n-   First, install this Ruby gem: `sudo gem install rhc` :gem:\n-   Run `rhc login` and enter your OpenShift credentials\n-   From your app directory run `rhc app create MyApp nodejs-0.10`\n-   **Note:** _MyApp_ is the name of your app (no spaces)\n-   Once that is done, you will be provided with **URL**, **SSH** and **Git\n    Remote** links\n-   Visit provided **URL**, and you should see the _Welcome to your Node.js\n    application on OpenShift_ page\n-   Copy and paste **Git Remote** into\n    `git remote add openshift YOUR_GIT_REMOTE`\n-   Before you push your app, you need to do a few modifications to your code\n\nAdd these two lines to `app.js`, just place them anywhere before `app.listen()`:\n\n```js\nvar IP_ADDRESS = process.env.OPENSHIFT_NODEJS_IP || \"127.0.0.1\";\nvar PORT = process.env.OPENSHIFT_NODEJS_PORT || 8080;\n```\n\nThen change `app.listen()` to:\n\n```js\napp.listen(PORT, IP_ADDRESS, () => {\n    console.log(\n        `Express server listening on port ${PORT} in ${app.settings.env} mode`\n    );\n});\n```\n\nAdd this to `package.json`, after _name_ and _version_. This is necessary\nbecause, by default, OpenShift looks for `server.js` file. And by specifying\n`supervisor app.js` it will automatically restart the server when node.js\nprocess crashes.\n\n```js\n\"main\": \"app.js\",\n\"scripts\": {\n  \"start\": \"supervisor app.js\"\n},\n```\n\n-   Finally, you can now push your code to OpenShift by running\n    `git push -f openshift master`\n-   **Note:** The first time you run this command, you have to pass `-f` (force)\n    flag because OpenShift creates a dummy server with the welcome page when you\n    create a new Node.js app. Passing `-f` flag will override everything with\n    your _Hackathon Starter_ project repository. **Do not** run `git pull` as it\n    will create unnecessary merge conflicts.\n-   And you are done!\n\n---\n\n### Azure\n\n<img src=\"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/ff/Windows_Azure_logo.png\" width=\"200\">\n**NOTE** *Beyond the initial 12 month trial of Azure, the platform does not seem to offer a free tier for hosting NodeJS apps.  If you are looking for a free tier service to host your app, Heroku might be a better choice at this point*\n\n-   Login to [Windows Azure Management Portal](https://manage.windowsazure.com/)\n-   Click the **+ NEW** button on the bottom left of the portal\n-   Click **COMPUTE**, then **WEB APP**, then **QUICK CREATE**\n-   Enter a name for **URL** and select the datacenter **REGION** for your web\n    site\n-   Click on **CREATE WEB APP** button\n-   Once the web site status changes to _Running_, click on the name of the web\n    site to access the Dashboard\n-   At the bottom right of the Quickstart page, select **Set up a deployment\n    from source control**\n-   Select **Local Git repository** from the list, and then click the arrow\n-   To enable Git publishing, Azure will ask you to create a user name and\n    password\n-   Once the Git repository is ready, you will be presented with a **GIT URL**\n-   Inside your _Hackathon Starter_ directory, run\n    `git remote add azure [Azure Git URL]`\n-   To push your changes run `git push azure master`\n-   **Note:** _You will be prompted for the password you created earlier_\n-   On **Deployments** tab of your Windows Azure Web App, you will see the\n    deployment history\n\n---\n\n## IBM Bluemix Cloud Platform\n\n**NOTE** _At this point it appears that Bluemix's free tier to host NodeJS apps\nis limited to 30 days.
