New version of Couchbase travel-sample web app

try-cb-frontend-v2

This is a sample application for getting started with Couchbase Server and our SDKs. The application runs a single page web UI for demonstrating SQL for Documents (N1QL), Sub-document requests and Full Text Search (FTS) querying capabilities. y It uses Couchbase Server together with a server backend using one of our SDKs, and Vue and Bootstrap on the front end.

The application is a flight planner that allows the user to search for and select a flight route (including the return flight) based on airports and dates. Airport selection is done dynamically using an autocomplete box bound to N1QL queries on the server side. After selecting a date, it then searches for applicable air flight routes from a previously populated database. An additional page allows users to search for Hotels using less structured keywords.

How to run

Quickstart: via backend

We recommend starting by checking out of one of the backends: each backend has a Docker script and full instructions to build the backend code, couchbase database, and the frontend.

The following backends are currently available, we intend to provide one for each SDK:

• Python
• Node.js
• Java
• Scala
• PHP
• .Net

Build with docker

Alternatively, if you're interested in modifying the frontend code, with Docker and docker-compose installed, simply.

docker-compose up
# now open http://localhost:8081/

NOTE: this will run the Python backend.

Update the frontend code

After modifying the frontend code, you could rebuild it in docker with:

docker-compose build frontend

This process is rather heavyweight, so you may prefer to run the frontend separately with node, as follows.

Running the front-end manually

# Build dependencies
npm install

# Run just the backend and database in one terminal
docker-compose up backend db

# Run the frontend server locally. This will auto-restart when you modify the code.
npm run serve
