Nook (Look-inna-Book) Online Bookstore

An online bookstore built with Node.js and PostgresSQL

Prerequisites

  1. Latest versions of Node.js and npm must be installed
  2. Postgres must be installed
  3. Optional: have pgAdmin installed to make database setup easier.

How to

For all steps involving node and npm described below, ensure to cd into the project directory

Install Dependencies

  1. Run npm install

Initialize Database

  1. Create a database for the project. This can be done through pgAdmin.
  2. In the sql/ddl-dml directory, run the provided DDL.sql file on the created database
  3. Once the tables have been created, run the provided all_inserts.sql file to insert the mock data
  4. Once that is done, navigate to the sql/triggers directory, and run the all_triggers.sql file to create the required triggers for the database that takes care of keeping the stock up-to-date (reducing on order and automatically reordering once reaching a given threshold)
    4.1. Alternatively, you can first run stock_on_order_proc.sql and then run auto_reorder.sql

Connect Database to Application

  1. Once the database has been initialized, create a file by the name of .env
  2. In the file, write the database information in the following format by replacing the <...> with the appropriate information:
PGUSER = "<postgres-username>"
PGHOST = "localhost"
DATABASE = "<db-name>"
PASSWORD = "<postgres-user-password>"
PGPORT = <port the database is running on>

Run Server

Ensure that the database has been initialized before running server.

Run server without auto-restart on changes to .js files

  1. Run npm start or npm run start
    1.1. Optionally, you may also choose to run node app.js

Run server with auto-restart on changes to .js

  1. Run npm run devstart

View application

  1. Once the server is running, navigate to http://localhost:3000/ on the browser of choice to view the different pages

Logging in as Owner

You can login as an owner by entering [email protected] as the email and youshallnotpass as the password

Logging in as Customer

There are many possible customer logins with the mock data insert. One possible login is email: [email protected] with password: amy70
