👏👏👏 This is an amazing tutorial, Michael!

Your step-by-step approach to building an event management application using Node.js and React on Redis is incredibly informative and well-explained, making it easier for developers to follow and build their own applications. 👍 Excellent work!

👀Recently, I came across an interesting article on Event Management in Salesforce that provides a custom solution to meet the event management needs in Salesforce. It's a helpful resource for those looking to streamline their event planning and management process. 🚀

ConnectionTimeoutError: Connection timeout

Generally when you get a connection timeout error, it's due to connection problem usually network related. It will be helpful if you could provide more context.

can you provide proper working code repository, because verify user email and hashed function was not working, promises were pending, debugged and re wrote it.

Michael Owolabi • Aug 8 '22

I'm not sure I understand what you mean.

Tikam Singh Alma • Aug 8 '22

Why I'm asking for working code repository because lot of things are not handled in blog, while coding and running there are lots of bugs like this:

[nodemon] starting node src/app.js
internal/process/esm_loader.js:74
internalBinding('errors').triggerUncaughtException(
^

[ErrorReply: ERR unknown command 'FT.DROPINDEX', with args beginning with: 'EventRepository:index' ]

Btw, what to add in authorization header?

is it "token" or "authorization" : "token from login"

token : "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJ1c2VyS2V5IjoidXNlcjphYmN"

authorization: "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJ1c2VyS2V5IjoidXNlcjphYmN"

{
"error": true,
"message": "Unauthorized user."
}

Bearer token e.g. Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJ1c2VyS2V5IjoidXNlcjp...

If you're testing via Postman just choose Bearer Token option in the Authorization header.

If curl: "Authorization: Bearer {token}"

hi Micheal,

why I get, this

{
    "error": false,
    "message": "Events retrieved successfylly",
    "data": {
        "allEvents": [],
        "totalEvents": 0,
        "totalPages": 0
    }
}

when hiting localhost:5000/api/v1/events

even though I have added events data.
