News Scraper with MongoDB, Mongoose ORM, Node, Express and Handlebars
This is a full stack news application which allows users to view and leave comments on the latest New York Times articles.
The user has the following options:
- View previously scraped articles.
- View saved articles.
- Scrape the New York Times for new articles.
While viewing previously scraped articles, the user has the option to delete the article from the database or save the article.
While viewing saved articles, the user has the option to delete the article from the saved list (not from the database) or add a note.
Each time the user scrapes the New York Times for articles, the application informs the user of how many new articles were scraped.
Please refer to the video below for details regarding how the app works.
