Drag Time

Abstract

Drag Time is an application to be used by performers and fans to find and create local drag events. Users can navigate to an event feed, favorite and RSVP to events, and create events. This was a group project completed in the final quarter of Turing's Software Development school.

Objectives

• Coordinate with a backend team to display drag events on a web page.
• Utilize React, Redux, and React Hooks to render content.
• Build tests to validate expected functionality.
• Create a sleek and friendly user interface.

Installation Instructions

3. In the root of the frontend directory, run:

  npm install
  npm start

4. In the root of the backend directory, run:
