Projects Corner
A platform to ease the process of applying to the projects posted by the faculties on the campus.
The problem Projects Corner solves
Applying to projects on campus involves multiple visits to faculty cabin or in some cases google forms but there is no central system to manage this. Thus, to simplify the process Projects corner bridges the gap between faculty and students enabling online posting of projects and applications along with features such as opening/closing the project temporarily and selection/rejection of candidates.
Challenges I ran into
As this platform was to be integrated into a pre-existing system, the major challenge was resuing the existing login system which was MVC based and our Frontend was on react which consumed REST APIs. It was tackled using JWT token authentication wherein the token was generated on the MVC side and stored in the browser's local storage. This token was then validated for protected APIs on the backend.
