Sponsorship Hub is a web application that stores data from events such as festivals and gives brands interested in sponsoring those events the ability to search for the perfect fit using filters. Users may also create and edit events as desired with specific access that can be granted from the Admin. Sponsorship Hub stores collected data to reduce repetitive work for the researchers and connects brands with events quicker and easier.
To see the fully functional site, please visit: http://sponsorshiphub.herokuapp.com

Software required to install this application are as listed:
1.) Create a database named sponsorship_hub and run the queries from our database.sql
2.) The queries inside of database.sql file are set to create the necessary tables to populate the needed data for this application to run correctly. This project is built on Postgres, so you will need to make sure to have that installed. We recommend using Postico to run those queries as they were originally created there.
3.) Open your source code editor and run npm install
3.) Create a .env file and set up SERVER_SESSION_SECRET=superDuperSecretKey where superDuperSecretKey is your generated password. You can randomly generate a password here at password generator. If you don't do this step, create a secret with less than eight characters, you will get a warning. The secret value can be any random string of characters.
5.) To allow emails to be generated for the new user and the admin upon user registration, you will have to set up an API key for Sendgrid. Please set up an account with Sendgrid and follow these instructions. Once you have created your API KEY, inside the .env file set up SENDGRID_API_KEY=yourSendgridApiKey.
4.) Run npm run server in your terminal
5.) Run npm run client in your terminal which will open up a new browser with the application
To use this application feel free to use the following steps
1.) Click LOGIN/REGISTER at the top right of the page to create an account. Upon account creation, the admin must approve the new user from the Admin User List page for access rights as Brand to search events or Researcher to create, edit, and duplicate events.

4.) As a Researcher one can also Edit events by clicking on events and clicking Edit Event at the bottom right of the header of an event page, then fill the form as needed. If you would like to delete or duplicate an event, at the bottom of the edit page.
5.) With Admin access level, you have the abilities of the Brand and Researcher. You will also have an Admin button at the top right of the header. When clicked, you can grant access levels for your users and delete users.
