The application implements a student class enrollment service consisting of several microservices including roster/login/signup/student dashboard/recommendation. The frontend is built with Angular, backend built with mongoDb, communicate between services built with gRPC. Finally we used Docker to build the applications.
Supported actions:
- create a student account
- search for the classes users are interested in by multiple ways (class number, class name, class field, etc.)
- get class recommendation based on students' preference
- enroll in a courses given the new added class is not at fully capacity and does not conflict with any existing ones
- check reviews/comments from previous stduents who took the class
./build-frontend.sh
This will build/deploy all the Angular components inside enrollment-app.
Run cd enrollment-app and ng serve --open will get the app up running. The default address you'll be directed to is https://localhost:4200/ and you can navigate from there.
docker-compose build
This will set up all the needed libraries with the correct version number for you. (phew, what a relief!)
docker-compose up
This will actually run the services. Now you can access the frontend with localhost:5000 and play with the backend services and mongoDb in Docker dashboard.
