Tech Stack

1. ExpressJs - a NodeJs framework
2. ReactJs - ReactJs is a component based JavaScript library for building user interfaces
3. MySql - MySQL is an open-source relational database management system (RDBMS)

There are three folders in the root directory

1. Backend - Where the API service is in place
2. Client - The frontend part using ReactJs & Redux(State Management package for ReaactJs)
3. Data - The mysql DB dump feeds 25-07-20.sql, import it to your database to get some dummy data and table structure.

Runing the services

Need two terminals(command interface) to run two different services one is API service and other is ReactJs App.

Runing API server

• cd backend/ : to go to the api service folder.

• cp .example.env .env : it will create a copy of .env file and your DB credentials to make it secure

  you will need to add below credentials :

  DB_PASSWORD=""

  DB_HOST=""

  DB_DATABASE=""

• npm install : to install all required packages.

• npm start OR nodemon : to run API service you will need to run this on different port as you are going to run two different services.

• PORT=8080 npm start OR PORT=8080 nodemon : to run with specific port. Running without specific port will run this on port 3000.

your API service is not up and runing

Running reactJs app

• cd client/ : to go to the client folder
• npm install : to install all required packages
• you will find constance.js file into /client/src directory and change API_BASE_URL as per your runing api service.
• npm start OR yarn start : to run client app. With specific port or it will run on 3000 port.

last command will automatically open browser with http://localhost:3000 (P.s. with specified port).
