SOEN Solutions

The system is implemented using an MVC architure with the 3 major components of MVC as follows:

• The model which is implemented using a PostgreSQL database.
• The controller (back-end) which is implemented as a Node.js application running with Express.js.
• The view (front-end) which is implemented as a React.js application.

The website is hosted on Heroku. The project is made to be compatible with docker-compose for local development. Simply install docker-compose and run the following command:

docker-compose up

The project may also be run locally through npm. To do so, you will need to start two different instances, one for the back-end API and one for the front-end application.

# API instance
cd api
npm install
npm run start-local

# Front-end instance
cd app
npm install
npm start

The Testing for both the front and back-end is implemented using Jest. The folder structure for the project is as follows:

• The app folder contains all of the files pertaining to the front-end. The source code for the React application is found in app/src.

• The front-end is split into several subfolders, for ease-of-use. The main views of the project will be found in app/src/views and app/src/components/managers.

• The api folder contains all of the files pertaining to the back-end API. The source code for the Node.js application is found in api/src.

• The main controller files are located in the api/src/routes folder.

• Any reusable code accross controllers is situated in the api/src/helpers and is access mainly in the various controllers.
