PERN Stack TODO App

The front end in React is based off https://github.com/mdn/todo-react, which is just a React front-end that uses only mock data. Fetch API calls were added to connect it to a back-end
The back end is an Express server in Node.js which uses the Sequelize ORM to connect to the postgres database.
- Note - Migration and Seed data files are supplied for the sequelize-cli, but are not yet configured to work in Docker

How to run locally:

To fork the project to your personal Github, click the Fork button located at the top right of the project, then git clone <repo> from the forked repository.

Link the local repository just created with the original you forked from
- If new content is added to this repository, you can pull the new changes, but the remote 'origin' points to your forked version
- Add another remote and call it 'upstream':
  - git remote add upstream https://github.com/PhillipWitkin/PERN-todo-demo
To fetch or pull changes, we tell git to look at the Github upstream remote (pointing here) instead of the origin remote (which points to your fork):
- For git to try and merge changes, we use git pull <remote> <branch>:
  - git pull upstream main
- In case there of a merge conflict, we can update all remote branches, but save merging for later using git fetch :
  - git fetch upstream

From the project root folder, run
- docker-compose up
- This will build our Docker images, and start each service running in a seperate Docker container
Four containerized services are specfied in the docker-compose.yaml file:
- todo-db - running our instance of postgres
- pgadmin - running pgAdmin, a postgres workbench tool which monitors todo-db
- todo-api - running the Express API backend server
- todo-ui - runnng the Node server for React contents
The database will be automatially created with a Tasks table defined, and data seeded
The services will now be running in Docker, but can be reached via browser as if it were running natively
- The client-facing UI can be reached by browser on localhost port 3000 - http://localhost:3000/
- The API will be served on localhost port 8082 - http://127.0.0.1:8082/api/tasks
- pgAdmin will run in a browser pointing at localhost port 8080, and redirect to http://localhost:8080/login?next=%2F for credentials
  - As set in docker-compose.yaml, username is set to [email protected]
  - Password is set to 'docker'
