Application Stack

This Web Application is developed with ReactJS frontend, Node.js backend and uses PostgreSQL database.

Usage

### Quick Start

• STEP 1: Running Server Side
  -> From the console (in the project directory), do cd ./bddbserver. The database and Node.js application can be started using docker-compose docker-compose up

This will start the Node.js application on port 8000 on the docker machine.

• STEP 2: Running Client Side
  -> From the console (in the project directory), do cd ./bddbclient. The reactJS frontend can be started using docker-compose docker-compose up

This will start the client side application on port 3000 on the docker machine.

For S3 stored image functionality you will need AWS credentials (access key/secret key) that have access to the S3 buckets referenced in the src/routes/files.js (and those buckets may need to be changed to a new name for your installation).
