• Navigate to the BeMyGuest folder in the command line
• Use the command dotnet restore
• Run the same command in the CovidApi folder

• Navigate to the BeMyGuest folder in the command line
• Use the command dotnet build to compile
• Run the same command in the CovidApi folder

Create a connection string to connect the database to the web application.

1. Create one file in the CovidAPI folder and one file in the BeMyGuest folder, with both files called appsettings.json
2. Add the code below to each file:

{
    "Logging": {
        "LogLevel": {
          "Default": "Warning"
        }
      },
      "AllowedHosts": "*",
    "ConnectionStrings": {
        "DefaultConnection": "Server=localhost;Port=3306;database=be_my_guest;uid=root;pwd=YourPassword;"
    }
}

• Put in your MySQL password in pwd=YourPassword. Change the server, port, and uid if necessary.

1. Navigate to CovidApi directory in terminal
2. Use the command dotnet ef database update to generate the database on your local machine through Entity Framework Core
3. Navigate to BeMyGuest directory in terminal
4. Repeat step 2

1. Write any new code you wish to add to the database. Use the command dotnet build to check for any compiling errors. If no errors, proceed to step 2

3. Use the command dotnet ef database update to update the database

• Implementing OAuth for user login.
• Integrate social media connections.
• There was a number of design-related features and little design flaws that we wanted to incorporate/fix, but did not have time to get through everything.
• The design logo wasn't as integrated into the app theme as much as we would have liked, and in a perfect world, would've had some Javascript incorporated to animate a "fly in" of the logo, etc.
• We wanted to create small icons or badges for some of the SocialQ's to be displayed in-app and when looking at a guest list or a guest's details.
• Including some visual representations of the guests in attendance (graphs, charts, etc) for viewing their host and other guests' important SocialQ's in mobile and desktop applications would be ideal.
• Additionally, we would have liked to incorporate JWT Token authorization for the API/UI.
• Being able to generate a specific event ID by a host creating an event that would then get sent to potential guests through an auto-generated email. This was a much loftier goal than could be accomplished with just four days, but with more time, would be essential to streamlined user experience.
• We would like to have all the views fully functional, as some of them currently are hard-coded or not as set up as we would like.
