Vue Job Board
This project is a modern Job Board application built using the MEVN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, Vue.js, and Node.js). It demonstrates my ability to create a complete full-stack application while showcasing both technical and design skills.
A modern Full-Stack App showcasing clean design, and scalable development with the MEVN Stack
Vue.js • Vite • TailwindCSS • Node.js • Express • REST API • MongoDB • MEVN
Frontend Overview
The frontend of the application features a sleek and visually appealing design created with Vue 3 and styled using TailwindCSS. Through this project, I gained practical experience with Vue.js and developed a strong appreciation for its component-based architecture, which ensures clear separation of concerns and organized, maintainable code.
Some key frontend features include:
Routing: Implemented URL routing with Vue Router for a seamless navigation experience.
Props Management: Effectively managed data flow between components using props.
UI Enhancements: Integrated polished features such as:
Vue Toastification for elegant, non-intrusive notifications.
PulseLoader for a visually appealing loading indicator.
Backend Development
On the backend, I transitioned from local JSON data to a fully functional REST API using Node.js and Express. The API interacts with a remote MongoDB database to handle job postings dynamically. Key highlights include:
Successfully exporting and storing data to MongoDB.
Fetching data with Axios for smooth integration with the frontend.
Hosting the backend on Render.com, ensuring API accessibility.
Deployment
The app is fully deployed and accessible:
Frontend: Deployed on Vercel for quick and reliable delivery.
Backend: Hosted on Render.com, with an automatic sleep mode to optimize resource usage. As a result, the data may take up to a minute to load if the backend service is idle.
Takeaways
This project was a valuable learning experience, solidifying my foundational knowledge of Vue.js and the MEVN stack. It allowed me to explore the practical benefits of Vue's component-based approach, which I now highly admire for its clarity and efficiency.
The project also provided hands-on experience with modern development practices such as RESTful API design, URL routing, state management, and deployment workflows. I'm proud of how this project showcases my ability to create professional, full-stack applications.
Feel free to explore the deployed application to experience its functionality firsthand!
