本次澳洲作业是全栈开发相关的一个Webassignment
1. Overview (you must read this first)
In this assignment, you will develop a full-stack web application to complete the front-end prototype built from
assignment 1. You are to use the following stacks:
Front-end: ReactJS
Middle-layer: Node.js & Express.js with Sequelize ORM
Backend database: Cloud MySQL
You are not allowed to change technology stacks to suit your convenience, experience and/or knowledge. Using stacks
other than the ones mentioned above will FETCH A ZERO for the whole assignment.
The tasks are divided into four parts: PA (Pass), CR (Credit), DI (Distinction) & HD (High Distinction).
The DI & HD section tasks will require self-research, you will not get straight answers in the course
material. While we are happy to assist you on those tasks, most of the work and research must be
done by you. This is done on purpose to prepare for you future work and rigours of the IT industry.
If you find a specification open to interpretation, post a query identifying the specification in the corresponding discussion
board for assignment 2. Software development in real life does not come with a definitive roadmap and flowcharts
complete with instructions. More often than so, it is the job of the developer to clarify requirements from the client. For
the purpose of this assignment and course, the lecturer is considered as the client.
All of us have been affected by the unfortunate COVID-19 scenario and its aftermath. It is often hard to concentrate
and study; but as a student enrolled in this course, it is your responsibility to regularly attend lectorial, lab and
consultation session(s).
Bring your questions to online discussion board, consultation sessions
Watch the online recordings on a regular basis if you cannot attend the live sessions.
Do NOT start the work on assignment at the last minute.
Do NOT ask for last minute extensions, these a
re often rejected. Extensions can only be granted for personal
and medical reasons, provided you can supply some evidence.
3. Assessment details (READ THIS FIRST)
The senior student club committee has accepted the prototype of VC (Vibe Check) website and now recommends that
full stack version of website be developed. The committee recommends inclusion of extra features and constraints for
the VC website- a summary is presented here, you will find more details in Section 4: Tasks.
The extra features and constraints include-
3.1
The committee wants the developer to use a Cloud MySQL database for the backend purposes. All the user and any
other appropriate data for the website must be stored in the backend Cloud MySQL database
(rmit.australiaeast.cloudapp.azure.com). You have been emailed your username, password and access link to
phpMyAdmin- if you do not have these details, email Matthew Bolger at [email protected]
3.2
Two users cannot have the same username. Password must be stored in a hashed format in the database. Please do
not use MD5 as it is no longer considered secure by industry professionals
3.3
The full stack version of VC must be a multi-user website where users can follow and unfollow one or more other users.
Posting form must have an option for uploading photos.
3.4
User can now submit interactions on posts such as: like and dislike.
3.5
All user inputs must be sanitised to avoid XSS attacks.
3.6
VC website will have a separate admin portal for moderating posts and generating user statistics. Admin does not need
to login to access the portal ie no admin accounts exist. Admin dashboard is accessible via a separate Url to VC.
3.7
Codebase must be well-commented. Absense of sensible code commenting will lead to penalty of marks.
4. Tasks
Create a full-stack VC website with – ReactJS, Node.js, Express.js (with Sequelize ORM) & Cloud MySQL database.
Here is the architecture diagram for the website:
