This application is built to run on a MongoDB Atlas database with a MongoDB Stitch application tunning atop it. To test the application both are available as afree tier.

Set up instructions:

• Create a MongoDB account if you don't have one yet under http://cloud.mongodb.com/

• Create a new MongoDB Atlas cluster

  • See also: http://docs.atlas.mongodb.com/getting-started

• Create an API key for your organization at https://cloud.mongodb.com/v2#/account/organizations

  • See also: https://docs.atlas.mongodb.com/configure-api-access/#programmatic-api-keys
  • The API key should have the project owner role for the project of the Stitch application, so that it has the neccessary permission to import a project

• Edit the JSON files in the directory stitch-app if you want to change the default database name or the cluster name.

• In a terminal window navigate to the project directory (i.e. the directory this file is contained in) and log in to stitch cli with the newly create API key ./stitch-clilogin --api-key=PUBLICKEY --private-api-key=long-hex-string-private-key

• Once you are successfully logged in you can import the app configuration into Stitch ./stitch-cli import --path /src/stitch-app --strategy=merge

• You can now create one ore more users in the stitch backend

• To make one of these users an admin of the application, copy his UID (... button in the users list in the Stitch backend) and edit the value for admin users.

  • Navigate to the Stitch application backend
  • Go to "Users"
  • Find the admin user you create and click the "..." button and select "Copy UID"
  • Navigate to "Values & Secrets" and click "..." for the value "adminUsers" to edit this value
  • Replace one of the strings in the JSON value with the just copied UID

• Now that the backend is set up you have to configure the frontend application by creating an env-file in the folder frontend/ overwriting the settings with your custom configuration: cp frontend/.env frontend/.env.production.local. Now edit the file and replace the app id (shown in Stitch backend), name of your MongoDB cluster and name of your MongoDB database

• If you don't host the application in the root directory of your server, add a homepage-entry in the package.json in the folder frontend/ with the root of your application, e.g. "homepage": "http://example.com/inventory",

• By calling ./yarn build the application can now be built and the contents of the build-folder copied to your server.
