Food Atlas Back End

This is repo for the back end of Food Atlas, a mini web app built with React that combines three of my greatest loves: travel, geography and food!

Info

This API was built using Laravel 8 and is hosted using AWS EC2. The API can be accessed at https://food-atlas.laikathespacedog.co.uk.

Local set up

To get set up with the project on your local machine I would recommend using using Vagrant. Once you've downloaded Vagrant, you can follow these instructions:

1. Run git clone git@github.com:LaikaTheSpaceDog/food-atlas-back-end.git <desired sub-directory>. The project files will be cloned to your local repo.
2. CD into the newly created project folder.
3. Run composer install to download the required dependencies locally.
4. Run vendor/bin/homestead make to copy relevant Homestead files into project directory.
5. Change the second line of Homestead.yaml so it just uses 512mb: memory: 512
6. Run cp .env.example .env to create a .env file
7. In your newly created .env file, make the following changes:

DB_DATABASE=homestead
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=secret

9. Run vagrant up to get Vagrant up and running.
10. Once Vagrant has finished loading, in your browser go to the below to view the UI:
    1. On Mac: http://homestead.test
    2. On Windows: http://localhost:8000
11. Run vagrant ssh to SSH into the running Vagrant machine.
12. Run cd code to enter the code directory.
13. Run artisan migrate to run all migrations.
