gatewaysRest

a petproject to play with ExpressJS

Technology stack:

• Database: MongoDB
• Server: Node.js, Express, Mongoose
• Client: ReactJS, AntD

Start:

Prerequisites:

• MongoDB ver. 6.*
• Node.js 18.*

Create a new MongoDB. using mongo shell, connect to your data base and copy-paste script from https://github.com/MariiaNebesnova/gatewaysRest/blob/main/addTestData.js - to add test data.

To run server:

• clone this repo or download source code to your local machine
• add .env file according to .env.example
• run npm start from the root directory

To open client application open http://localhost:<YOUR_PORT>/ in your browser.

Server app already contains a builded client.

Notes:

• tests were added as an example. Because there's no any significant buisness logic to cover with test that will make more sence;
• according to Dependency inversion principle, it would be better to wrap antd imports with own components, but the result will be a huge amount of code that is an overkill for such a small app. Howewer, I've done it for mongoose in server application, because it doesn't look monstrous there;
• client application can be runned and debugged separately, using npm start script from gateway-client directory. but you still need to start server on 8080 port, or change proxy in gateways-client\package.json;
• AntD was used because it provides a complete UI components and allows to create a prototype without a row of .css. And it's not so heavy as MUI.
