Daily Meeting - 03/23/2021
Selena started working with Reactjs.
	She has no base page yet and has not gotten a full port yet.
Ryan is looking into using react as well
React needs its own port to run
Runs on client side
Glitch allocates one port per project
Two glitch projects, one for frontend and one for backend and middleware.
We need one base html page to call all necessary components for the page.
React community contributes components
	Material UI is community made
Ryan is not sure what effect running two different servers will have on the project
Splitting will be easier to manage
Waking up the backend faster will make the frontend faster.
Maintaining sessions allow us to make things more streamlined.
	Sending requests every so often will help the
Lis looked into the spacing issue and multiple carousels and did not find much in the right directions
	Maybe using the premade assets will work better.
Selena showed React
React -> reformatting
For user auth
 we need to add a new field called "Salt" to the Customer table in the database; this is for when we generate hashed passwords


- develop middleware functionality that will create new Customer entries when given a username/email and a password. this can be split into parts:

  - logic that accepts a customer's input for a username and password

  - logic that first checks whether that particular customer already exists in the database

  - using a crypto library in javascript to generate a salt value to append to the password, and then generate a hash for the combined string

  - store the resulting details (username, hashed password, and salt value used) to the db

  - if time permits, do basic user authentication by having a customer log in and we will compare the password attempt to the hashed password in the db
Ryan and Mat will work with user auth
Nicole will work with the webpage. Selena is helping with translating with React
Ryan will help on frontend
By Friday we will have A good site and some elements of user authentication
