Disclaimer

A word of caution: We are in α (alpha), i.e. Ever® Platform™ is very much under development (work in progress, WIP).
Expect lots of changes and some 🐛 and please be nice! 😜

Technology Stack and Requirements

• TypeScript language (version >=2.9)
• Node.js (version >=10)
• Ionic (version 4) for Shopping Mobile App, Carrier Mobile App and Merchant Tablet App
• Shopping Website developed with Angular 7 using Angular Starter
• Admin Website developed with Angular version 7 using ngx-admin
• Headless Commerce framework (Backend APIs/Server) developed using Nest with heavy use of our own Pyro module. Supports GraphQL, REST and WS Real-Time APIs (WebSockets using Socket.io library)
• RxJS library used heavy in every part of the Platform
• InversifyJS used for Inversion Control / Dependency Injection in most parts of the Platform. On the Backend/API we also use DI provided by Nest
• MongoDB Database used with Mongoose ORM (supported MongoDB version >= 3.2; we recommend version >=4)
• We have ongoing effort (WIP) to add support for other databases using TypeORM and Prisma. Following additional DBs will be fully supported: MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, SQLite, MS SQL Server and Oracle.
• For production, we integrate and recommend to use PM2

Documentation

Please refer to our official Platform Documentation and to our Wiki (WIP).

For a quick overview of each project in the Platform (Server, Admin, Shops, etc.), you can search for README.md file in the root of the projects folders. For example, see ./backend/api/README.md for Server (Backend) related overview.

Getting Started

We follow Gitflow Workflow, so the develop branch may be in an unstable or even broken state during development. Please use releases or master branch instead of the develop branch in order to get more stable code.

Clone Repo

Clone the Ever Platform Git repo:

git clone -c core.symlinks=true --recursive https://github.com/ever-co/ever.git

Notes:

• if you want to use development branch (unstable, but latest development) clone using --branch develop
• it's necessary to enable Git symlinks because they used for shared modules (every project has symlinks to shared modules in the /shared folder)
• because of symlinks, you may need to clone from an elevated command prompt (on Windows)

If you use Git >= v2.14, it probably makes sense to setup following globally:

git config --global core.symlinks true
git config --global submodule.recurse true

Notes:

• to setup Symlinks & Submodules recurse locally only (for Ever repo), remove --global in the commands above
• for older Git versions see this
• at the moment we are not using Git sub-modules, but it may change in the future (we were using them, but decided to drop for now in favor of symlinks)

Yarn

Currently, we are using Yarn (instead of npm), so make sure you have latest Yarn version installed before running Ever Platform:

npm install -g yarn@latest

Quick installation

After git repo cloned, just run following command to install/bootstrap all dependencies:

yarn bootstrap

Above command install required packages in all Platform projects using Lerna.

Note: if above command fails for any reason, you can try to install required packages manually by running yarn inside every sub-folder with 'package.json' file

Lerna (manual installation)

We are using Lerna for mono-repo management. You need to run the following command from the working folder where you cloned Ever git repo, which install Lerna together with other packages:

yarn

You may instead install Lerna globally:

npm install lerna@latest -g

Now, after Lerna installed (locally or globally), you need to Bootstrap all dependencies manually:

yarn lerna bootstrap

The command above install all required packages for every sub-project of the Ever Platform.

MongoDB

Ever platform configured to use MongoDB by default and assume you have MongoDB service running and accepting connections on the default localhost:27017. Please see relevant section in our documentation.

Platform Configuration

See relevant section in our documentation.

Run Platform Projects

Finally, each project from Ever Platform could start by single command from this list:

• Run API server yarn run:server
• Run Admin Website yarn run:admin and open http://localhost:4200
• Run Shopping Mobile App yarn run:shopmobile and open http://localhost:4201
• Run Merchant Ionic Tablet App yarn run:merchant and open http://localhost:4202
• Run Carrier Mobile app yarn run:carrier and open http://localhost:4203
• Run Shopping Website yarn run:shopweb and open http://localhost:3000

Note 1: during development you can run server with yarn run:server:dev to enable watch on TS files changes

Note 2: on the first run, API Server (Backend) creates MongoDB local database ever_development with the following (default) Admin user

• email: admin@ever.co
• password: admin

You can use credentials above to login into Platform Admin App.

Metrics

According to cloc project, Ever Platform today has more than 120K lines of TypeScript, GraphQL, HTML / CSS and other code files. You can get more details in the relevant section of our documentation.
