CS 361 Ethical Eating web app by Zero Rows Returned
This is optional but I like testing locally with Docker, so you can do so too if you want. It's not required to develop, you can simply run a local SQL server and run the app with node app.js.
If you'd like to run the app locally, you can download Docker Desktop: https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop Then from the root folder in this repo, run:
docker-compose build
docker-compose up -d
The app has been configured with nodemon to hot-reload the app container whenever the source code changes. This way, you don't have to bring the container down and back up again when you make a change in the source code in order to see the behavior reflected. This makes development faster.
If you don't want this behavior, simply change the command: "npm run dev" line in docker-compose.yml to command: "npm start" and hot-reloading will no longer occur.
To stream logs:
docker-compose logs -f
To stop streaming logs: Control+C
To stop:
docker-compose down
To re-build, like when you change source code or similar, run docker-compose build again, and then
docker-compose up.
You can use the --force-recreate flag if changes don't seem to be sticking.
docker-compose up --force-recreate
You will be able to view the app locally at http://localhost:6377.
It can be useful for debugging to see what is in the database using mysql workbench, a free tool. If you would like to use the app with mysql workbench, first download the software. Then, make one small change to the docker-compose file to the db: ports: section, changing "3306" to "127.0.0.1:3306:3306" to expose the database on port 3306 on your localhost.
