Homebank 2 is the second, better written (though three years old and still poorly written) version of Homebank.
Unfortunately, I originally didn't set up a Git repository for this project, so there isn't any progress-tracking data available.
This repository contains both the server and client code.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| api | REST API routes for managing and retrieving data |
| auth | Authentication, permissions, and queries for authentication |
| config | Access keys for the database |
| crypto | Password and identification cryptographic utility functions |
| db | Database models and controllers |
| lib | Utility functions for the server |
The client is a typical Next.JS application, containing components used commonly between pages, pages allowing control of specific data, static files, in this case images, and CSS style sheets.
As my first attempt at a full-stack web application, Homebank 1 was a poorly designed and executed program.
12-year-old me had no problem with one 3000-line "index.js" controlling the whole application. It worked, but it was a mess to maintain. It also lacked type-checking and basic security features like query sanitization.
These shortcomings motivated 13-year-old me to create this version. I was still new to Node.JS, but I had some better ideas about file structure, database management, and how to set up a REST API. Though it doesn't always follow best practices, it's a significant improvement.
I've come a long way from the Homebank project, but I still like looking back from time to time on how I started seriously programming. Homebank remains of my favorites from this time period.
