Road Trip Planner Application with React
Project-2 – Road Trip Planner
Description
This application is designed to help users plan trips and store all of their plans in one location. When you open the application, you’ll be prompted to either sign up or login, and then you’ll be able to input details for any trips you have, as well as their associated dates.

- Type out “git clone” followed by the copied link from Step 2 and press Enter.
- Open the file using VS Code.
- In the “.env” file, make sure that the DB_Name is listed as ‘planner_db’.
- Enter in your username and password into the .env file where indicated.

- Type in “mysql -u root -p”, press Enter, enter in your password when prompted, then press Enter again.
- Type in “source db/schema.sql” and press Enter.
- Type “quit” in the terminal to exit out of mySQL.

Future Improvements
In the future, we’d like to add an existing application that can add restaurants and their locations with information about their websites for easier access through our app. We’d also like to have our app be able to give directions, similar to Google Maps.
