Exoplanet project

About the project

We are working with a data provided by NASA from Kepler telescope, which discovered many planets in the Universe and we filtered and found out habitable ones and that's not all. We are planning to complete launch missions to discover those planets together in a very beautiful scientefic friendly web app 😊.

Architecture

A couple of words about the architecture which a bit differs. The app has 2 parts client and server which are controlled by their package.json files, but we have one more package.json which is the same for both of them and serves both of them. Yes we are serving them from one file and in addition we build our client side inside of server to serve it with express under the same port on localhost.

Stack

• Frontend
  • React.js
  • arwes (for sceintecfic UI)
• Backend
  • Node.js
  • Express.js
  • morgan (for logging)

Versions

• node v18.18.0 LTS (23.09.2023)
• npm v9.8.1

They are the same for both client and server.

Installation

Make sure you are running all commands in the root directory

• first run

npm install

• then run following for development

npm run watch #this will serve client on port 3000 and server on 8000

* For serving all the app on the same 8000 port as a production build served by express run

npm run deploy #this will serve both client and server on 8000 port
