How to use it​

Being a full-stack product, the backend and the frontend should be compiled and started separately. Before starting to compile the product, make sure you have the following tools installed in the environment:

  • NodeJS - version 14.x or higher
  • GIT - used to clone tjhe sources from Github
  • Python3 - used in many tools

👉 Start the Frontend​

Step 1 - Once the project is downloaded, change the directory to react-ui. 

$ cd react-ui

Step 2 - Install dependencies via NPM or yarn

$ npm i
// OR
$ yarn

Step 3 - Start in development mode

$ npm run start 
// OR
$ yarn start

At this point, the app is available in the browser localhost:3000 (the default address).


👉 Start the Backend Server​

Step 1 - Change the directory to api-server-nodejs

$ cd api-server-nodejs

Step 2 - Install dependencies via NPM or yarn

$ npm i
// OR
$ yarn

Step 3 - Run the SQLite migration via TypeORM

$ npm run typeorm migration:run
// OR 
$ yarn typeorm migration:run

Step 4 - Start the API server (development mode)

$ npm run dev
// OR
$ yarn dev

The API server will start using the PORT specified in .env file (default 5000).
