• Download and install doker and docker-compose
• Download and install nodejs and make sure npm is in your binaries
• If using windows, install make: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/make.htm

For Web Application

This Section is for teams who have decided to make a website as their front end

• Always run make commands from the root directory of the boilerpalte

• All Source Code should be written in front-end-web

• First clone this repo to your desired location

• Run the setup command:

    make setup

• Then install al dependancies. If you add any new dependancy to the package.json in front-end-web run this command again:

    make install_web

• To build app and run all parts of the system run:(This will startup docker and create your db, your scala restful api, and your front-end server
• Scala: localhost:8080, WebApp: localhost:3000, Db: localhost:5432

    make dev_web

• Remove all images and docker containers from system:

    make down

• To start only the scala-api and not the front-end server:

    make start_scala

For Native Applications:

This Section is for teams who have decided to make a Native App as their front end

• Always run make commands from the root directory of the boilerpalte

• Install all dependancies first:

    make install_mobile

• To start both mobile dev server and scala-api:

    make dev_native

• To start only mobile dev server:

    make start_mobile_only

• To Stop scala-api:

    make stop_scala

• To start only the scala-api and not the front-end server:

    make start_scala

Other Information

• If you need to change port numbers, environment variables or anything else you can do that in the docker-compose.yml file
• There you will find all services that are ran in docker containers, what ports are exposed and the environment variables defined
• Please note that this docker-compose.yml file is built for development only
• You have to create another docker-compose with the appropiate settings for deployment

Recommended IDEs or text editor:

• You can use visual studio code with the Docker, scala and git extensions
• You can use any text editor and a terminal
• You can use IntelliJ for scala app

You can use both if you plan on doing both a native app and a website
