Task 1: Basic Banking System Using React.js, Node.js and PostgreSQL

For the first task of the Graduate Rotational Internship Program (GRIP) by The Sparks Foundation, we are tasked with creating a basic banking system using React.js for the frontend, Node.js for the backend, and PostgreSQL for the database.

React.js is a popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces, Node.js is a runtime environment for executing JavaScript code outside of a browser, and PostgreSQL is a powerful open-source relational database management system.

The goal of this project is to create a simple yet functional banking system that allows users to view their account balance, transfer funds between accounts, and view transaction history.

By using these technologies, we can create a modern and responsive web application that provides a seamless user experience while also utilizing industry-standard tools and best practices for building web applications.

Key Features of the Basic Banking System

• User authentication and authorization
• View account balance
• Transfer funds between accounts
• View transaction history

Implementation Steps

1. Create a backend server using Node.js to handle user authentication and account-related operations.
2. Integrate PostgreSQL database to store user account details and transaction history.
3. Build a frontend application using React.js to provide an intuitive user interface for interacting with the banking system.
4. Deploy the application to a hosting platform for public access and testing.

Conclusion

Task 1 of the GRIP program provides a great opportunity to strengthen our skills in full-stack web development by utilizing modern technologies such as React.js, Node.js, and PostgreSQL. By completing this task, we will gain valuable experience in building real-world applications and understanding the complexities of financial systems.

We are looking forward to creating a functional and user-friendly banking system and are excited to learn and grow throughout this process.
