Application to connect workers to clients who need home services

• This application was developed as a training for some new technologies I have been studying
• Its objective is to work as a platform on which workers can add their services if they work on specific areas, typically known as house services, such as Masonry, Electrics, Hydraulics and Painting;

To start the project:

• Run npm install to download all the dependencies required;
• Run npm start to start running the project;
• By default, the port used is 3333, so the URL should be http://localhost:3333

Technologies used:

• HTML and CSS for pages organization and styles;
• EJS for pages rendering and template creation;
• Node.js + Express for backend structure and dealing with HTTP requests from the client;
• SQLite and SQLite3 packages for Node.js in order to create and connect to the database;
• TypeScript as main backend language;

Features:

• One can create their account and receive a login code (for now, it is random and cannot be retrieved in case of lost or if the user forgets);
• Once a user account is created, it is possible to use their login and password to add a new Job to the platform, filling the form with the required information, such as title, description and contact;
• When the form is submitted, the information is stored in tyhe database and the inserted job is now visible on the main page as a card with all the information sent;
• It is also possible to use that login and password to view active jobs on the platform in order to delete them individually;

Future implementations:

• Add logic to retrieve user password and login in case of loss;
• Make possible to create a custom login id, so it is not randomly generated by the system;
• In the EJS files, delete some views that are alike and add its differences to a 'parts' folder, rendering these parts conditionally;
