Project Description

This project was made to simulate on how vending machine works. We have two application frontend and backend. Frontend is made with React & Redux saga. Meanwhile backend is made using Nodejs typescript framework Nestjs. See Live demo here.

Run application with docker

To run application with docker we have docker-compose.yml file in root of this project. This configuration is only for development purpose. Before running application be sure to checkout docker-compose.yml and review volumes attached in services.

In Mongodb service named db_mongo_service we have attached /data/db of host machine make sure its is accessible to docker otherwise feel free to attach your own custom directory.

In backend config I've added default configuration from docker-compose.yml for development so you don't need to change anything but if you made any changes on docker-compose.yml be sure to update backend configuration too.

1. Make sure docker and docker-compose is configured in your machine.
2. Run following command

   docker-compose build
   docker-compose up -d
   

Prerequisite without docker

To run it without using docker you need to have following installed:

1. Backend
   • You need to install npx command globally for seeders.

     npm install -g npx
     
     

   • You have to have mongodb up and running for database follow this link if you haven't.

Run backend project

1. Change directory to backend and install required packages:

   cd backend
   yarn i
   

2. Install dependencies

   yarn i
   

3. In backend there is config folder there are configuration related to application database and others. Be sure to change them according to your running environment.

4. Seed data for vending machine and its product:

   npx nestjs-command seed:vend
   npx nestjs-command seed:product
   

5. Now you can run you application. To run it in dev mode:

   yarn start:dev
   

6. To run your backend test in development mode:

   yarn test:watch
   

7. If everything goes well and you have set your backend default running port as 7777, you can visit your application through http://localhost:7777

8. To view swagger documentation visit http://localhost:7777/api

Run Frontend App

1. Change directory to frontend application:

   cd frontend
   

2. Install dependencies

   yarn i
   

3. Set up environment. Copy .env.example to create new .env file and add backend base url to env key. For Example:

   cp .env.example .env
   

   In .env file add:

       REACT_APP_API_BASE_URI=http://localhost:7777
   

4. Run your application:

   yarn start
   

5. If everything goes well, you can visit your application through http://localhost:3000
