Note for TAs:

Modify order link broke at the last minute, but the code is there @: frontend/src/Components/PendingOrders/ModifyEmployeeOrder.tsx.

dronut group 7

In order to get ready to write productive code, complete the following steps during Sprint 0:

Deployed backend Domain: https://dronutsgroup7backend.uk.r.appspot.com/

Deployed frontend Domain: https://dronutgroup7frontend.ue.r.appspot.com/

Back-End Setup

Run a mongodb instance

mongoimport --db test --collection donut --type json --file src/data/donuts.json --jsonArray
mongoimport --db test --collection orders --type json --file src/data/orders.json --jsonArray
npx tsc
node src/index.js

Front - End Setup

npm install
npm i --save react-select
npm start

Repository Setup

  1. Create a new team and GitHub repository for your project using GitHub classroom. Your associated cmu email should show up in a listing and you can link your GitHub account. Subsequent members should choose to join an existing team using the same link. You may want to name your repository something like foobarbaz, which will end up as dronuts-2019-foobarbaz, aka your $respository_name.

We're ok with you keeping your project public, but you can make it private if you so desire. Don't forget to add .gitignore and `License** files!

  1. In addition, you should setup any tools needed for collaboration, issue tracking and project managment; Slack, Jira, GitHub Issues, ZenHub, Trello, whatever it is your team would like to use.

If you're new to Git and GitHub, we highly recommend reading and running through these two links:

Github Actions

  1. Enable github actions. To do this, these steps can be followed.

Initialize NodeJS/NPM

  1. If you haven't already, install NodeJS and NPM on your computer.

  2. Initialize your repository for NPM by running npm init. This will generate a package.json file in your repository.

Choose a Web Framework and Install It

Within the NodeJS runtime, there a many frameworks for creating server applications. For the purposes of this assignment, there are two options you should consider:

  • Option 1: Express
    The Express Framework is a general-purpose web development framework with widespread adoption.

  • Option 2: Loopback
    The Loopback Framework is a purpose-built REST API framework, with a smaller user base.

As a deliverable of sprint 0, you will be asked to compare these frameworks. You should familiarize yourself with both projects in order to justify your decision. Once the decision is made, install it in your groups repository.

QA/Helpful Tools

  1. You should install a linter for your repository, to help manage code style. We highly recommend eslint or tslint if you decide to use typescript.

To go a little further, we can use eslint-watch to automatically lint while we're programming:

Success Condition:

$ npm run lint (## which is calling esw -w src test)
> ✓ Clean (10:12:27 AM)
  1. Because NodeJS projects have many dependencies, it is massively beneficial to use a tool to detect dependency updates and alert you as to potential vulnerabilities. Normally, we would recommend using a SaaS tool like GreenKeeper or requires.io. However, if you're repository is private, these tools require payment. If that's the case, you should install npm-check.

    Success Condition:

    $ npm-check
    > ❤️  Your modules look amazing. Keep up the great work. ❤️
    
  2. You should setup a test framework within your application to help with later test-driven development. We'd suggest Jest (especially for React development). Another option is to go with the Mocha framework along with Chai. Once installed, write a single test, which doesn't actually test anything (besides that your tests run).

    Success Condition:

    $ npm run test
    > PASS test/routes.test.js
    > GET /
    > ✓ should render properly (853ms)
    > GET /list
    > ✓ should render properly with valid parameters (48ms)
    > ✓ should error without a valid parameter (29ms)
    > GET /404
    > ✓ should return 404 for non-existent URLs (61ms)
    > ...
    
  3. Verify that the above tools and targets can be executed by Github Actions.

  4. Document the above tools in your README. Also update this boilerplate once it's no longer needed.

Docker

  1. Although Docker should already be configured (see Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml) as necessary, you may need to install the Docker Daemon on your machine to properly complete the assignment. Read the get-started guide for downloading Docker locally. If you're on a Linux OS, starting here would be more helpful. MAKE sure you do not install docker via snap. Snap's version of docker is outdated

Deployment

  1. You should have received an email about signing-up/accepting a assignment/lab from Microsoft, related to the class and registering with azure. Let us know if you haven't. We recommend using the Azure Cli to access your account info.

  2. Using your Azure credentials, follow these instructions to manually setup a Virtual Machine suitable for running Docker with the following considerations:

  • Instead of myvm use your project team name as your Docker Machine name.
  • Use "Standard_A1_v2" as the plan name / VM size.
  • Before running docker-create (creating your VM), make sure to additionally add the flag/option --azure-resource-group cmu-17-356 when running the command.
  • The full command you'll run should look something like this:
    docker-machine create -d azure \
    --azure-subscription-id $sub \
    --azure-ssh-user azureuser \
    --azure-open-port 80 \
    --azure-resource-group cmu-17-356 \
    --azure-size "Standard_A1_v2" \
    $repository_name
  • stop before the step "run a container".
  • Copy the IP address of your VM and your $repository_name (i.e. project/machine-name) into your Github Actions .yml
  • If you've set that ENV var, Run cp -r "$DOCKER_CERT_PATH" ./azureto copy your deployment certificates into your repository. Otherwise, you can run cp -r ~/.docker/machine/machines/$repository_name/* ./azure

This should enable automatic deployment via Github Actions!
