NASA Space Mission Controll App

Description:

This project is a convenient manager for tracking space missions conducted under the auspices of NASA. The application utilizes the public API of SpaceX missions. Each user can create/delete their own mission, and information about it will be available in the "History" and "Upcoming" sections alongside SpaceX missions, according to the mission's status.

Features:

• Each user can view a list of missions conducted under SpaceX and NASA's auspices throughout history.
• Each user can create their own mission.
• Each user can delete both their own mission and a planned SpaceX mission.

Technologies:

• Express: a minimal and flexible Node.js web application framework that provides a robust set of features for web and mobile applications.
• MongoDB: a source-available, cross-platform, document-oriented database program.
• Mongoose: a JavaScript object-oriented programming library that creates a connection between MongoDB and the Node.js JavaScript runtime environment.
• pm2: a process manager for the JavaScript runtime Node.js.
• csv-parse: a parser converting CSV text input into arrays or objects.
• Jest: a widely-used testing framework for JavaScript and TypeScript applications, ensuring code reliability through unit and integration tests.
• Docker: a set of platform as a service products that use OS-level virtualization to deliver software in packages called containers.
• GitHub Actions: a continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) platform that allows to automate build, test, and deployment pipeline.
• React: a free and open-source front-end JavaScript library for building user interfaces based on components.
• Axios: a promise-based HTTP Client for Node.js and the browser.

Getting Started:

1. Clone the repository to your local machine.
2. Ensure that Node.js is installed.
3. Create a .env file in the server folder and fill it according to the example for connecting to Mongo Atlas:

PORT=your_port
MONGO_URL=your_mongo_atlas_url

4. Install all dependencies using the command npm install in the root of your project. This command includes subcommands for both the client and server sides of the application.
5. Start your project using the command npm run deploy. This command builds the client part of the project and places it in the public folder of the server part, then starts the server part of the project. Here's how the command looks in full:

npm run build --prefix client && npm start --prefix server

6. After that, you can launch the project locally at: localhost:8000 and add a new mission to the existing list.

Docker:

1. Ensure that the latest version of Docker is installed on your computer.
2. Run the command docker build -t your_image_tag_name . to create a Docker image with all dependencies of your project in Docker (e.g., docker build -t nasa-app .).
3. Run the command docker run -it -p host_port:docker_port your_image_tag_name to launch a Docker container based on the generated Docker image (e.g., docker run -it -p 8000:8000 nasa-app). Use the same port that you wrote in your .env file.

Testing:

To run automated tests, execute the following command:

npm test

This command, in turn, will run the following subcommands in the appropriate order:

• npm test --prefix server: runs tests for the server side
• npm test --prefix client: runs tests for the client side

Global deploy

Current application is deployed using AWS and ES2 and can be accessible via the following link: nasa-mission-app
