Welcome to my demo for the take home challenge! It uses docker & docker-compose to make your life for setting it up extremely easy. These are the only dependencies you need for this project.
Head over to one of these links (mac link or windows link) to grab a copy of docker if you don't have these utilities already.
Depending on your OS you may have to install compose seperately, if that's the case head here.
Postgres, Django, GraphQL, Apollo, & React make for an efficient development environment and scalable production environment, plus Bootstrap for styling.
Volume mounts are setup in the development environment by docker-compose to provide auto-refresh on save in React & Django.
Also routing is done in the NGINX router to accomplish the websocket connection for React.
If you assumed this project was setup using a bootstrapping tool you're correct, I built the tool:
- Synth was made for creating containerized web apps quickly with modular components.
Currently you can input any date, date verification is needed on input to make sure it is a span of less than 24 hours && not negative etc.
Also UAM is not implemented to keep things simple. The user is hard coded to a uid of 1 via the UidContext component (provider in App component). This would be changed to a uidToken (JRT) in production likely, or coupled with a token.
Clone the project
git clone https://github.com/BennettDixon/sleep_tracker_full_stack;
cd sleep_tracker_full_stack;
Run the container network, this will build them the first time so be patient while images are downloaded and containers are built
docker-compose up
This will spin containers up, but you will see an error printed to the screen telling you ROLE postgres_user DOES NOT EXIST. Do not fret, follow these steps, this is intended. We need to setup the table and database for the backend to populate with testdata.
Locate the postgres container id using
docker ps
You can either use the name of the container or the id of the container to substitute in the next portion. The name should be something like tellus_takehome_postgres_1 and is under the NAMES column, the id is under CONTAINER ID and is a random alpha-numeric hash.
Execute the following, substituting your postgres container id or container name. This will setup a user and database in your postgres container. You only need to do this once unless you delete the docker-compose volume mount or the postgres data on your local machine.
docker exec <postgres-container-id/name> psql -U postgres -f /app/pgsetup.sql
Once the role is created the backend will load the test data into postgres after performing the migrations; this is all you need to do!
The React view is located at localhost:8800
Visit the GraphQL endpoint localhost:8800/graphql/v1/ and play with GraphQL Queries if you wish!
Feel free to add objects to the /nginx_router/backend/testdata.json file for further testing! They will be loaded in each time you boot the containers.
You can also dynamically load data the same way you executed the postgres setup due to volume mounting. Find the id or name of the backend container, likely something like tellus_takehome_backend_1.
Then run the following:
docker exec <backend-container-id/name> python manage.py loaddata testdata.json
docker-compose down
