The HUB Fullstack Website

Dependencies

For the whole project you need:

• NodeJS
• Yarn

Project Structure

.
└── packages
    ├── api
    │   └── src
    │       ├── controllers
    │       ├── models

        └── src

Essentially the API package is the backend of the website which uses ExpressJS and MongoDB and is written in Typescript. The Web package includes the frontend of the website which utilizes ReactJS and is also written in Typescript.

Setup

To install all dependencies, simply run yarn in the root directory of the project. For the API package, you need to have a .env file containing the needed environmental variables for the backend to work. (Needs to be located in packages/api/src)

---

Useful Yarn commands

NOTE: These are package specific commands, so for example, cd into the packages/api directory to run the API specific commands.

API Package

For linting or autimatically formatting your code according to the style guide, you can use yarn lint and yarn format respectively. To run a dev environment, you can use yarn start:dev.

Web Package

Same as the API, yarn lint and yarn lint --fix are available. You also have access to yarn start and yarn test which should be pretty self-explanatory.

Setting up your editor

VS Code

For convenience, you should get the following extensions.

• ESLint (dbaeumer.vscode-eslint)
• EditorConfig for VS Code (editorconfig.editorconfig)
• Prettier ESLint (rvest.vs-code-prettier-eslint)

You can also get some packages for ES6 snippets or anything else you need.
