FaceDetector

A small full stack web app that uses an api to detect faces in images submitted.

The front-end was built using React, while the backend was built using Express. it uses Bcrypt to encrypt passwords, Knex.js for querying the PostgreSQL database, and Redis & JWT to handle user sessions.

PS. this was one of my first projects, so the code quality isn't that great.

Live Demo : https://demo-face-detector.herokuapp.com/

To use this project you need to:
1- provide your own .env file containing :
      a- CLARIFAI_KEY (you need to create a clarifai account, used to handle face-detection requests to the clarifai api)
      b- JWT_SECRET = (to sign the JWT)
2- have docker installed
3- to run in development cd into the project and run "docker-compose up --build", this will create the docker containers (app, postgres, redis), and then run the app in dev mode (Server on port 5000, Client on port 3000).
*to run in production check the docker-compose as well as the Dockerfile provided in the main folder.
