Route Building Process

This triggers the route building based on the existing DeliveryGoods of today with a delivery Date of today. You may add optionally a specific date to the call. This creates routes with all Delivery Goods for the specified Date.

npm run routing [<date in format YYYY-MM-DD>]

Auction Finish Process

This triggers the finishing of the current running auction. It sets the deliveryState of each DeliveryGood of today's routes to "Waiting for Pickup" and the auctionOver variable of each route of today to "true". This method should be executed after the route builder.

You may add optionally add a specific date to the call. This is more for dev-tests

npm run finish [<date in format YYYY-MM-DD>]

Development environment start of the project

Development environment

npm run devstart

Testing environment

npm test

This will allow you to execute the scripts contained in src-test/model/testData.js. Those tests are currently set up to fill the database with test data during development.

It is not necessary nor recommended to use these scripts for testing in a production-like environment. The scripts are only for development purposes. You may fill the database by your own interactions with the application.
