The server is written on ExpressJS, and should be a REST API. There won't be views served, but it's possible that assets, such as manifests, images, etc may still need to be served.

Responses should be in JSON format whenever possible.

• Model creation and maintenance: MongooseJS

• Auth using Google and JWT

• Image manipulation: Sharp

• Image Storage in AWS: AWS-SDK

• Form Multipart Handling: Multer

The project currently runs on Node 12.

Instructions can be found here: https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/node@12

brew

brew install node@18

# Note: After this, you may need to update your PATH. Keep an eye on the output of brew.
# Example Output:
# If you need to have node@12 first in your PATH, run:
#  echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/node@12/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc

We're using MongoDB.

To explore it, you can use the Robot 3T application:

https://robomongo.org/download

• ESLint
• npm
• npm Intellisense
• Prettier

# From within the server directory
npm install

Additionally, the project runs a local dockerfile to minimize the installation requirements and ensure cross system compatibility.

Create a local.json file inside the config folder:

{
    "oauth": {
        "google": {
            "client_id": "<google client id>",
            "client_secret": "<google client secret>",
            "callback_url": "http://localhost:3001/google/callback"
        }
    }
}

Credentials can be found in the Google App.

Scripts can be found in the package.json file

Normal startup

docker-compose up --build

Application then runs on http://localhost:3001 by default. The port can be changed overriding the local.json file, however, any client will also need to be updated.

To test that things are running correctly, navigate to your local oath link and after you select an account, you should see a log in your console that your account was created.
