About The Face Recognition App

This repo is the front end portion for the final project I completed from the ZTM Complete Web Developer Bootcamp (this link is an affiliate link).

Technologies Used

In order to complete the entire project, the following technologies and languages were used:

1. FRONT END (you are here):

   • HTML & CSS
   • JavaScript & React (see setup info for GitHub Pages here)
   • tachyons
   • tsparticles
   • hosted on GitHub pages

2. BACKEND SERVER:

   The code for this is in this repo - which was originally forked from Render's Node.js template. So while it says there are contributors ... None of those contributors were a part of this project.

   • Node.js & Express.js
   • bcrypt-nodejs - not currently maintained and should use alternative in the future (still works though)
   • cors
   • dotenv
   • knex for connection to postgreSQL database
   • Clarifai API (for facial recognition & info on where to put boxes)
   • hosted on Render

3. DATABASE:

   • postgreSQL
   • hosted on Render

Updating The Site

All code is located in the facerecognitionapp-ztm subfolder. From there, run the following:

npm run predeploy
npm run deploy

This will prep the front end code and push to the GitHub Pages branch.
