PeaceReport

PeaceReport is a platform for independent journalists to share unbiased news and stories about conflicts, aiming to promote understanding and peace.

Project Structure

• Client: Contains the Next.js frontend.
• Server: Contains the ASP.NET Core backend.

Frontend

The frontend is built using Next.js. Key packages include:

• Next.js: Framework for server-side rendering and static site generation.
• React: Library for building the user interface.
• Tailwind CSS: For styling the application.

You can find the complete list of dependencies in the Client/peace-report/package.json file.

Installation

To install the frontend dependencies, navigate to the Client directory and run:

npm install

Running the Frontend

To run the frontend development server, use:

npm run dev

Backend

The backend is built using C# and ASP.NET Core. Key requirements include:

• ASP.NET Core: Framework for building the web API.
• Entity Framework Core: For database interactions.

Installation

To install the backend dependencies, navigate to the Server/PeaceReportServer directory and run:

dotnet run

To connect to a NoSQL database, adjustments need to be made in the configuration files. In ASP.NET Core, this is typically done in the appsettings.json.

Example configuration for MongoDB:

{
///Other configurations
  "MongoDB": {
    "ConnectionString": "mongodb://username:Password@DB-Adress:Port/DB-Name",
    "DatabaseName": "DB-Name"
  }
}

Setting Up NoSQL Database Users

To set up a MongoDB database with read and write rights, follow these steps:

Create a new user with read and write permissions:

use admin
db.createUser({
  user: "peaceReportUser",
  pwd: "password123",
  roles: [
    { role: "readWrite", db: "peaceReportDb" }
  ]
})

Ensure the user has the necessary privileges: The user should have the readWrite role on the peaceReportDb database, granting them the ability to perform both read and write operations.
