BracketBros is a programming discussion forum made for the ITPE3200 portfolio exam (project 2). It is inspired by classic BB Forums. The forum is made with .NET Core 6.0 and C# in the backend. The front-end is made with Nuxt.js, Vue.js, Typescript, Vuetify and Sass.
To see our commits you can visit our frontend repository: https://github.com/ole-kristian-rudjord/BracketBros-frontend

cd forum/frontend

npm install

npm run buildAfter this is done you can now start run the solution as you would normaly.
When starting the server you will should be sent to the index home page. If not navigate to http://localhost:3000/. Here you can click on the the different categories or tags to search posts containing them. The feed is an chronological feed with forum posts. You can then browse posts, see comments by going to each posts or search for specific posts. To interact with the site, you need to register a user. Register a username, email and password. The password must consist of at least 8 characters, one alphanumeric character, one lowercase and one uppercase letter (Own work, 2023).
You can also log into the account "Hackerman" with the password "Password123!"
When you have logged in you can create/edit posts, comment and like posts. You get a dashboard with overview of your post, comments and likes. In the upper right corner you have your profile panel. Here you can upload a profile picture and change your password (Own work, 2023).
For admin priviliges you can login with user «torkratte» and password «Password123!». For normal user access you can make a new user by registering.
We have an admin role which has access to an admin dashboard. Admins can delete all posts and comments, while a regular user can only delete and edits its own content. (Own work, 2023)
