PFACS Backend with mongodata

Setting up and running the backend

First type in
npm install

to install all the dependency.
To run the react back-end then, type in
npm start

The default port this server running on is 3001. The front-end react app will use proxy to transfer the web service request to port 3000 to port 3001

Be aware

This backend is only intended to be a playground for a specific file called mongo_data.js. Other routers won't work because I deleted the credential requirement. Since the mongo_data will call access to some data in mongo, to unleash the full power of mongo_data, run a mongo instance, with flag --replSet rs0, this will be useful for listening to the data change.

mongo_data.js

This file contains couple ways to show how to work with front-end and backend

• First, it contains a socket manager. The socket manager manages the socket for IO for the live data update.
• Second, couple web service API is used to test how to send data from the mongo_data to the front-end through web service.
