A MERN application

Bookstore

Introduction

This is a very basic application that is built using the MERN stack.

Technologies used

• ReactJS
• ExpressJS
• Docker
• MongoDB
• ReduxJS

Steps to run

• Running the entire app in docker

  The docker-compose.yml sits at the root folder. To run it, use

  docker-compose up --build
  

• Running the backend in docker

  cd backend
  docker-compose up --build
  

• Running the frontend in docker

  cd frontend
  docker-compose up --build
  

• Running the backend for development

  • Install the latest version of NodeJS

  • First we need the database to be up and running. I have used docker for this purpose

    docker run --name mongodb -p 27017:27017 -e MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME=root -e MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD=root -d mongo
    

    Note that you might need to run it as sude if you are in Linux or MacOS

  • Change to the backend folder

    cd backend
    

  • Set the url of the database connection in ./src/index.ts as mongodb://root:[email protected]:27017

  • Install the dependencies

    npm install
    

  • Then for the server, we need to run 2 commands simultaneously

    npx tsc -w 
    npm start
    

• Running the frontend for development

  • Install the latest version of NodeJS

  • Change to the frontend folder

    cd frontend
    

  • Install the dependencies

    npm install
    

  • Then for the server, run

    npm run dev
