To run the server, go to the backend directory and run:
node index.js
The server runs on localhost:3002
If error with missing package is encountered, install missing package in backend directory:
npm install
This should install all required packages for the Backend section.
In order to run the app, you need to host database server.
We ran the database using xampp.
After installing, you can start the server on linux using
sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start (replace the address with address, where you
saved xampp).
Next step is to create the database. You can go to
localhost/phpmyadmin page, where you can create it. The database
must be called trip_planner. If you want to change database connection
details, you can edit it in /backend/config/db.js. This is all you need to do
for setting up the database for now.
Before doing following step, you need to run the server (described in backend section).
I created a temporary API endpoint to create database tables and fill them with
basic data (/api/fill-tables), so you don't have to create them by your own
and fill them with the data. This is for testing only and should be removed
after the development. In order to use it, run following localhost:3002/api/fill-tables.
To find out more about API, check out README.md in backend folder
Make sure following packages are installed:
react-switch (https://github.com/markusenglund/react-switch)
react-slider (https://github.com/zillow/react-slider)
react-scripts (https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app)
react-router-dom (https://github.com/remix-run/react-router)
react-big-calendar (https://github.com/jquense/react-big-calendar)
js-cookie (https://github.com/js-cookie/js-cookie)
maplibre-gl (https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-gl-js)
moment (https://github.com/moment/moment)
If not, again use npm install to install them all-in-one into project's frontend directory.
To run the frontend, go to the frontend directory and run:
npm start
It should automatically open new window in the browser.
