Setup and Running

• Prerequisites
  • Node
  • MySQL (or Postgres / Sqlite / MSSQL)
• Clone repo git clone git@github.com:atulmy/crate.git crate
• Switch to code directory cd code
• Configurations
  • Modify /api/src/config/database.json for database credentials
  • Modify /api/.env for PORT (optional)
  • Modify /web/.env for PORT / API URL (optional)
  • Modify /mobile/src/setup/config.json for API URL (tip: use ifconfig to get your local IP address)
  • Add your local IP address in: code/mobile/android/app/src/debug/res/xml/react_native_config.xml for Cleartext Traffic (API level 28+). Read more here.
• Setup
  • API: Install packages and database setup (migrations and seed) cd api and npm run setup
  • Webapp: Install packages cd web and npm install
  • Mobile: Install packages cd mobile and npm install
• Development
  • Run API cd api and npm start, browse GraphiQL at http://localhost:8000/
  • Run Webapp cd web and npm start, browse webapp at http://localhost:3000/
  • Run Mobile cd mobile and npm start, browse mobile on either emulator or using Expo on your mobile phone
• Production
  • Run API cd api and npm run start:prod, creates an optimized build in build directory and runs the server
  • Run Webapp cd web and npm run start:prod, creates an optimized build in build directory and runs the server

Multi-package automation

• New developers are advised to run through the above ‘setup and running’ process before reading further.
• Optional multi-package automation for faster setup and easier dev environment initiation.
• No need to cd to sub-folders unless working with mobile or running a production build.
• Once Node, MySQL, repo clone and configuration are setup correctly
  • Switch to code directory cd code
  • Setup
    • Setup API, Webapp and Mobile with a single command npm run setup
  • Development
    • Run API and Webapp npm start, browse GraphiQL at http://localhost:8000/ and Webapp at http://localhost:8000/
    • Run API alone npm start:api, browse GraphiQL at http://localhost:8000/
    • Run Webapp alone npm start:web, browse webapp at http://localhost:3000/

Why open source a project and not a boilerplate or framework?

• While building a new project with Node, you can basically start scratch, adding libraries and tools as you go on building it further.
• Comparing with any other languague, you usually start with a framework, for example, Laravel (PHP), Django (Python) or Ruby on Rails (Ruby) which includes a ton of features and codebase which you never end up using.
• I’ve personally found, learning by going through a good project codebase step by step while building your own project helps in ease of understanding and remembering
