A Simple Idea Vote Application

This project is a simple application that will help us solidify the knowledge we have learned so far in the two modules above. The application is a Meteor application with a React frontend application.

Application features and lessons learned

  • Create ideas functionality
  • Upvote functionality
  • Down vote functionality
  • Query ideas collection functionality
  • Learn about the $inc modifier
  • Learn about Meteor Methods and implement Meteor Methods
  • Learn how to remove packages from Meteor
  • Filter ideas based on the count of upvotes

Application description

The application will create ideas that are then upvoted or downvoted. A Mongo Collection called Ideas will be created to hold the stored data. The application will display the list of ideas stored inside the collection sorted according to their upvote.

We are already familiar with this default Meteor application skeleton app that shows a list of links. In the next component, we are going to delete some files while restructuring the application.

Happy coding!!!
