Installation

Running the stack

$ docker-compose up

Accessing the stack from a browser

The starter stack works with a load balancer that binds to ports 80 and 443. It currently serves the domain http://stack.localhost. In order to reach the frontend through the stack, you need to edit your hosts file (usually under /etc/hosts in UNIX environments and C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts in Windows) and add the following line:

127.0.0.1 stack.localhost

Now if you visit http://stack.localhost, you will be greeted with the frontend starter project.

Changing the local domain

If you wish to use a domain name other than http://stack.localhost, simply set the environment variable DOMAIN to any domain you want.

$ DOMAIN=another-domain.localhost docker-compose up

You then also need to update your hosts file accordingly.

Debugging

You can debug the backend while it's running in VSCode. Instead of running docker-compose up, run the following command:

$ docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.debug.yml up

This starts the backend service in the debug mode, so you can use the built-in debug task Attach to backend to debug your backend service.

Running tests

Running backend tests

$ cd backend
$ npm i
$ npm test

Running frontend tests

$ cd frontend
$ npm i
$ npm test:unit
$ npm test:e2e

Linting

Run npm install on the root folder and it will set up a pre-commit hook to lint the staged files. You will also have two lint commands, npm lint and npm lint-staged that you can run on the root folder.

These commands run the individual lint and lint-staged scripts in both the frontend and the backend folders, and they will respect individual configurations of these folders.
