EECS Team Building App

Setting Up

yarn is the recommended js package manager for this project. After installing yarn on your machine, follow the steps below.
In your terminal, enter yarn to install all necessary dependencies addressed in package.json
If there is any new react or js library you want to add, just enter yarn add <package name>
To start running the frontend of the application, enter yarn start, and this should launch a new window in your browser at the address http://localhost:8887

We use flask for managing the server-side processing of the application. Currently the master web service is configured to run on http://127.0.0.1:5000. However, you can modify the main method inside server/app.py to start the service on a different host / port.
To start the service, simply run the server/app.py.
Please note that when you modified the host and port on the server side, you need also update the base url configuration in src/api/api.js so that any incoming requests from the React side are hitting the correct endpoints.

We use MongoDB for data storage. The database for this project comprises of a series of collections off 2 different databases (dev, and prod) of a Mongo Atlas Cluster. It is important to note that to avoid excessive setup networking calls through the Pymongo client, a wrapper singleton class inside server/database/routes.py has been added to provide access (and creation) of databases. If you want to access the database, please import the db singleton object from the file instead of creating new ones. If you want to create a new database off the collection, just add a new property to server/database/routes.py.
