Hyperschedule v2

Hyperschedule is a fast course scheduler for the Claremont Colleges. Currently live at https://hyperschedule.io/.

Basic Dependencies

To run the code, you need to have at least one of these installed on your computer:

If you use Windows

Please install both yarn and node inside WSL2. Choose Debian Bullseyes if you aren't sure which distro to use, but other distros should be fine

If you use MacOS

  1. To run frontend properly, you need to disable your Airplay Receiver because there is a port conflict.
  2. The bash that came with your macOS is likely still on version 3.2 (if you aren't sure, run bash --version), which was released back in 2006. Please download a slightly more modern bash (as of Nov 2023, the latest version is 5.2.21).

Docker Compose Stack

Services:

  • Frontend (port 5000)
  • Backend (port 8080)
  • Database (mongoDB)
  • Web Server (nginx, port 80, only needed for SAML flow)

First time setup:

At project root, run yarn install. Then, run docker compose build. Lastly, run yarn docker then yarn docker-load-db to load test data.

After:

Every you restarted your computer or Docker desktop, you need to run yarn docker again to start the stack. Then go to http://localhost:5000 in your browser.

Git hooks

To avoid accidentally pushing broken code, you should link the pre-commit hook to automatically run tests before you commit things. No matter how your project is set up, it is recommended that you run these commands at project root

ln -s "../../hooks/pre-commit" .git/hooks/pre-commit
ln -s "../../hooks/post-merge" .git/hooks/post-merge
ln -s "../../hooks/post-checkout" .git/hooks/post-checkout

Manual Installations (No Docker)

Not a fan of Docker or dev containers? Good news, you don't have to use either. At project root, run yarn install to install all the JavaScript dependencies.

Then, you need to install You also need to install MongoDB and set it up according to your OS. Make sure its listening to port 27017 with username hyperschedule and password local_dev. Alternatively, you can set it up some other way and modify the MongoDB connection string in backend/.env.development. After you set it up, you can load the test data with this command (and modify the username and password if you used something different):

mongorestore \
    --username 'hyperschedule' \
    --password 'local_dev' \
    --authenticationDatabase 'admin' \
    --nsInclude 'hyperschedule.sections' \
    --archive \
    --gzip \
    < 'data/db_dump'

Then, install nginx on your computer. If you are not running Linux, you might have to compile nginx from the source. You can find the nginx configuration file and the self-signed certificate we use at the data/nginx folder.

Lastly, run yarn frontend and yarn backend in two different terminals to start everything.
