Setting up the development environment

Frontend

The frontend is bootstrapped using Create React App. To start the frontend development server you need to install yarn.

See the different installation instructions for your distribution below.

Debian / Debian-based systems -

sudo apt-get install yarn

Arch / Arch-based systems -

sudo pacman -S yarn

The next step is to start the development server, to do that run the following steps

cd frontend
yarn
yarn start

If all goes well, the server should be running at localhost:3000.

Backend

The backend is generated using Typescript Express Genertor. To start the development server, install yarn as described above.

The backend uses MongoDB to store the data. You need to configure it to use your local installation of MongoDB or a cluster in running MongoDB Atlas.

To do this, make a copy of backend/src/config.json.sample to backend/src/config.json and update the DB_URL field with the URL of your MongoDB instance.

After doing this you can start the development server using

cd backend
yarn
yarn start:dev
