Part Two Welcome

In this lesson, we'll highlight all the features we intend to have for our home sharing application, TinyHouse.

The TinyHouse App

We'll spend a few minutes walking through the complete TinyHouse code for Part II of the course to gather context on some of the patterns we'll follow.

Walkthrough of TinyHouse Code

In this lesson, we'll continue from the previous lesson and spend more time discussing common patterns we'll employ as we build both the server and client projects of the TinyHouse application.

Code Patterns & Behavior

The structure of the course, the material available, and how best to go through the course in Part II.

How To Go Through The Course

Introduction

We begin working on building the TinyHouse application by first modifying the code from the end of Part I of the course to prepare us as we move forward.

Set-up For Part II

Set-up for Part 2

This is an introduction to the work we'll be doing in Module 2.0.

Module 2 Introduction

Routing is the process of navigating through a web application with the help of URLs. When a link in a webpage is clicked, the URL changes which then navigates a user to a new page. In this lesson, we'll learn about routing and explore the different routes we'll need for our TinyHouse application.

Server-side vs Client-Side Routing in a Web Application

React Router is a popular community-built library that provides a set of navigational components to help create routing within React applications. In this lesson, we'll use React Router to declare the main routes and the components that should be shown in these routes for our TinyHouse client application.

Build Web App Navigation With React Router and BrowserRouter

Routing in TinyHouse

This is an introduction to the work we'll be doing in Module 3.0.

Module 3 Introduction

In this lesson, we'll brainstorm the structure of our database and determine how many collections the database for our TinyHouse application will need.

How to Build MongoDB Database Collections in React

We continue from the previous lesson by declaring the shape of the data we expect to store in each of the collections of our database.

Build a MongoDB Document Schema: Examples and Best Practices

Having our database contain some mock data will allow our GraphQL queries and mutations to interact with data from the database. In this lesson, we'll create a scripts to help seed and clear the database of mock data, in development.

How to Build a Seed Function to Add Data to MongoDB

Setting up our Database

This is an introduction to the work we'll be doing in Module 4.0.

Module 4 Introduction

OAuth is an industry-standard authorization protocol that enables applications to obtain limited access to user accounts without giving away any passwords. In this lesson, we'll dive a little deeper explaining what OAuth is and how we intend to use it in our application to help users sign-in with their Google account.

How Does OAuth 2.0 Work? [with diagrams and examples]

In this lesson, we'll create the necessary OAuth credentials from the Google API Console that we'll need to use to set-up Google OAuth in our application.

How to Get Google Access Credentials for OAuth Authentication

We'll begin creating the GraphQL fields that we'll need to help us establish Google OAuth in our application.

The GraphQL Document Fields Needed for Google Sign-In

Before we update our GraphQL OAuth resolvers, we'll use Google's official Node.js library to help access and interact with Google APIs.

Using Google Auth and People API With React and GraphQL

We'll continue to update the GraphQL resolver functions we've prepared to allow users to log-in & log-out of our application.

Build GraphQL Authentication Resolvers for Google Auth

We'll now switch over to work in our React application and have it communicate with the server to allow a user to sign-in via Google OAuth.

How to Build a Custom Google Sign-In UI in React

Having the UI of the Login page built in our client, we'll investigate how we can make the query for Google Sign In's authentication URL when a user attempts to sign in.

How to Query Google Sign-In Authentication URL From a Client

A user is now able to successfully sign-in from the Login page. In this lesson, we'll spend some time creating the AppHeader component that will help allow users to navigate around our app.

How to Build a React Header With a React Log Out Mutation

This lesson is a summary of the work we've done in Module 4.0.

Module 4 Summary

This is an introduction to the work we'll be doing in Module 5.0.

Module 5 Introduction

A browser cookie is data that a server can send to a user's web browser where the browser can often send back to the server. With this lesson, we begin discussing how persistent login sessions can be made with cookies by going through a simple exercise with the Google search web application.

How to Store Persistent Google Sign-In Sessions With Cookies

Before we dive into implementing persistent login sessions in our app, we'll touch on the different storage mechanisms of the web browser. In this lesson, we explore the differences between localStorage, sessionStorage, and cookies.

sessionStorage vs localStorage vs Cookies for Secure Storage

We'll utilize the `cookie-parser` package in our Node server to help parse a "viewer" cookie from HTTP requests sent from the client.

Using NPM cookie-parser to Read Cookies in React

Our server is now able to help set and clear the "viewer" cookie in our client when we sign-in with Google. In this lesson, we'll modify our client such that it will use the "viewer" cookie to automatically log a viewer in when the app first renders and the cookie is available.

How to Use a Viewer Cookie to Automatically Log In a User

We’ll take an additional step in this lesson to prevent Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks. We'll see how we can have the client pass a CSRF token with every request and where the server can use the token to verify the identity of the viewer making the request.

Prevent Cross-Site Request Forgery Attacks With X-CSRF Token

This lesson is a summary of the work we've done in Module 5.0.

Module 5 Summary

Persist Login Sessions with Cookies

This is an introduction to the work we'll be doing in Module 6.0.

Module 6 Introduction

In this module, we begin building the server and client implementation that will help allow us to retrieve and display information for users in our application. We'll begin by brainstorming the GraphQL fields we'll need to query user data.

Building a GraphQL Query to Fetch User Account Data Fields

In this lesson, we'll modify the User, Listing, and Booking GraphQL type definitions that are relevant to the user information we want to query from the database.

How to Modify GraphQL Type Definitions to Support TypeScript

With the GraphQL type definitions established for the root-level user query, in this lesson we'll modify the resolver function we have to help query for a certain user.

How to Build Paginating GraphQL Resolvers [with examples]

With our `user` query now prepared and available in our GraphQL API, we'll begin building the page shown in the `/user/:id` route of our client app.

How to Build a UserProfile Component With React and GraphQL

In this lesson, we'll continue to build the user page in our client application by looking to query and present a paginated list of listings and bookings for a certain user.

Building the User Page

This is an introduction to the work we'll be doing in Module 7.0.

Module 7 Introduction

In this module, we begin building the server and client implementation that will help allow us to retrieve and display information for listings in our application. We'll begin by brainstorming the GraphQL fields we'll need to query listing data.

Requesting a Single Set of GraphQL Fields

With the root-level `listing` field prepared in our GraphQL API, we'll construct the resolver function for this field to attempt to query for the appropriate listing from the "listings" collection in our database.

Building a GraphQL Resolver For Specific Fields

With our `listing` query now prepared and available in our GraphQL API, we'll begin building the page shown in the `/listing/:id` route of our client app.

How to Query for GraphQL Data With Limits and Filters

In this lesson, we'll continue to build the listing page in our client application by looking to prepare the `<ListingDetails />` and `<ListingBookings />` components.

Module 7 Summary

Building the Listing Page

This is an introduction to the work we'll be doing in Module 8.0.

Module 8 Introduction

In the homepage of our application, we hope to display a small list of the most premium listings available. In this module, we begin building the server and client implementation that will help allow us to retrieve and display listings information for the homepage of our application. We'll begin by brainstorming the GraphQL fields we'll need to query a list of listings from our API.

Listings GraphQL Fields

With the root-level `listings` field prepared in our GraphQL API, we'll construct the resolver function for this field to attempt to query for a list of listings from the "listings" collection in our database.

Building a GraphQL Resolver For Filtered and Sorted Results

The homepage of TinyHouse is to be to mostly presentational and aims to serve the purpose of telling the user what our app does as well as provide useful links to direct them elsewhere. In this lesson, we focus on building the presentational UI of the homepage.

Building a Card-Based Homepage Layout in React

Our homepage is mostly prepared except for displaying the most premium (i.e. highest price) listings. In this lesson, we'll look to make the query we'll need to retrieve the highest priced listings from our server and display that information on our homepage.

Sort GraphQL Data And Display Filtered Results in React

This lesson is a summary of the work we've done in Module 8.0.

Module 8 Summary

Building the Home Page

This is an introduction to the work we'll be doing in Module 9.0.

Module 9 Introduction

We've managed to create the capability for users to query for a list of listings that can be sorted based on listing price. In this module, we'll focus on the functionality that will allow our users to search for listings based on location. We'll begin the investigation for this by discussing the API we intend to use to help us - Google's Geocoding API.

Get Started With Google Geocoding API for Location Data

In this lesson, we'll address the gameplan we have in mind in how we want to conduct location-based searching in our app.

How to Implement Location Search With GraphQL and Google

In this lesson, we'll begin to write the code in our server project to help allow a user to search for listings in a certain location. To achieve this, we'll first modify the existing `listings` GraphQL query field to accept an optional `location` argument that when provided will return the listings that pertain only to that location.

Using the Google Maps Node.js Client With GraphQL

With our `listings` field in our GraphQL API prepared to accept a `location` argument, we'll begin to work on the client app to build the `/listings/:location?` page for where certain listings can be shown for specific locations.

Building a Location-Based Listings Search Page in React

At this point, we have a page displayed in the `/listings/location?` route that surfaces up to eight different listing cards for listings that exist in certain locations. In this lesson, we'll create the capability for a user to filter and paginate the information presented to them in the listings page.

Building Filters and Pagination in React [with examples]

In this lesson, we'll work on something slightly related to the `/listings/:location?` page and is a big factor of our app. We'll be working on the search input that we'll place in the app header that will allow users to search for listings in a location while within any part of our app.

Building a React Search Bar in the App Header

At this moment in time, we've introduced the capability to have our client application query for listing documents for different locations. In this lesson, we'll investigate and discuss indexes within MongoDB and see how can index location-based data from the "listings" collection in our database.

How to Index Location Search Results With MongoDB Indexes

This lesson is a summary of the work we've done in Module 9.0.

Module 9 Summary

Searching for listings with Google's Geocoding API

This is an introduction to the work we'll be doing in Module 10.0.

Module 10 Introduction

It's finally time we talk about payments! The business model of TinyHouse is an online marketplace where users can host and book listings. In this lesson, we'll learn about how we intend to have TinyHouse be a marketplace by using the third-party payment platform - Stripe.

Building a Payment Platform With Stripe and Stripe Connect

When a user in our application plans to host a listing, we'll need to ensure they've connected to their own Stripe account through our Stripe platform account. This is to leverage Stripe Connect's capability to pay the users who have listings in our app when a booking is made. In this lesson, we'll set up the credentials we'll need from Stripe and save them as environment variables for both our server and client projects.

How to Get Stripe Connect OAuth Credentials for Payments

We'll begin creating the GraphQL fields that we'll need to help us establish Stripe Connect OAuth in our application.

Building a GraphQL Schema for Stripe Connect Integration

We'll continue to update the GraphQL resolver functions we've prepared to allow users to connect & disconnect from Stripe in our application.

Integrating the Stripe NPM Library With React and GraphQL

We'll switch over to work in our React application and have it communicate with the server to allow a user to connect with their Stripe account on our platform.

Adding Connect with Stripe to a React App

We've managed to create the functionality to have a logged-in user in our app connect with Stripe. In this lesson, we'll look to visually indicate that the user is in the connected state and have an action responsible for allowing the user to disconnect from Stripe.

How to Disconnect and Remove a Client's Stripe Account

This lesson is a summary of the work we've done in Module 10.0.

Module 10 Summary

Connecting with Stripe

This is an introduction to the work we'll be doing in Module 11.0.

Module 11 Introduction

For users in our application to add listings (i.e. host listings) in the TinyHouse application, we'll need to create the functionality where users can upload and insert new listing data into our database. In this lesson, we'll establish the GraphQL fields in our API that will help achieve this.

HostListing GraphQL Fields

We'll continue from what we've done in the previous lesson by having the `hostListing` resolver function we've created receive an input with new listing information which will then be added to the `"listings"` collection in our database.

Building a GraphQL Resolver to Receive New Listing Data

We'll now begin to work on the form on the client application where a user can create (i.e. host) a new listing. The form we'll build will essentially be the UI of the `/host` route of our application.

How to Build a Listing Form Interface in React and Stripe

The majority of the work we've needed to do for the form shown in the `/host` page was completed in the last lesson. In this lesson, we collect the values a user is to enter in the form and when the user decides to submit the form, we'll trigger the `hostListing` mutation we have in our API and pass the relevant input along.

Build a GraphQL Mutation to Store Listing Data and Uploads

This lesson is a summary of the work we've done in Module 11.0.

Module 11 Summary

Hosting new listings

This is an introduction to the work we'll be doing in Module 12.0.

Module 12 Introduction

In this lesson and module, we'll investigate to see if there's a better way of storing the newly created images for listings in our database. We'll discuss and investigate cloud-based image and video management services and see how we can use Cloudinary for our application.

Why Use Cloudinary to Host Images in the Cloud?

In this lesson, we'll pick up from what we've done in the previous lesson by modifying our server code to utilize Cloudinary to host listing images for our TinyHouse application.

How to Integrate Cloudinary With React and GraphQL

Cloudinary & Image Storage

This is an introduction to the work we'll be doing in Module 13.0.

Module 13 Introduction

For users to book a listing in our app, we'll need functionality to handle this as well as the capability to process transactions between the tenant and host. In this lesson, we'll establish the GraphQL fields in our API that will help achieve this.

CreateBooking GraphQL Fields

Before we begin to implement the `createBooking` mutation resolver, we'll first create the utility function that will facilitate a Stripe charge with the help of Stripe's API.

Build a Booking System With React, GraphQL, and Stripe API

In this lesson, we'll continue from the previous lesson and look to see how we can update the bookingsIndex of a listing document with the dates that have recently been booked by a tenant.

How to Store New Bookings and Resolve Overlapping Bookings

In this lesson, we'll begin to work on the client-side to facilitate the booking of a listing. We'll begin by first disabling any dates in the listing page datepickers that have been previously booked by other users.

How to Build a React Booking UI That Blocks Booked Dates

In this lesson, we'll look to prepare the confirmation modal that gets displayed to the user when the users requests to make a booking.

Build a Confirmation Dialog in React and Ant Design

We'll continue from what we've done in the previous lesson by looking to capture a user's credit or debit card information when a booking is to be made, with the help of the React Stripe Elements library.

How to Build a Stripe React Payment Form

In this lesson, we'll wrap-up what we've done in the last few lessons by now collecting all relevant information and triggering the `createBooking` mutation when a user is ready to confirm their booking.

This lesson is a summary of the work we've done in Module 13.0.

Module 13 Summary

Booking listings

This is an introduction to the work we'll be doing in Module 14.0.

Module 14 Introduction

We've finished building the application that we've wanted so we'll now focus on deployment. There's no use in having a great app if we can't deploy it for others to use! Before we dive into what form of deployment we're going to conduct, we'll talk about cloud computing and its importance when it comes to the world of deployment.

IaaS vs PaaS vs SaaS: An Intro to Cloud Computing

Heroku is a platform as a service (PaaS) that's been around since June 2007 and supports the deployment of several programming languages. In this lesson, we'll use Heroku to help deploy our TinyHouse application on to the cloud!

A Step-by-Step Guide to Deploying a React App to Heroku

For the last core lesson of the course, we'll take a walkthrough of our deployed app to ensure everything works as intended. By the end of this lesson, we'll also spend a little time quickly summarizing what we've done to have our application be deployed.
