PDF Generator Project

This is a simple project for converting static HTML and web links into PDF files. Under the hood it utilises go for backend services, Vue.js for frontend services, and Headless Chromium for the HTML-to-PDF process. This repository contains the main parts (directories): frontend (user interface), api (backend that the frontend will be communicating), and daemon (for processing long-running background jobs).

Quick Start

To run this project we need to have golang and nodejs (yarn 1) installed.

Backend

Under the rood directory of the project run the following commands:

1. go build -o ./api/app ./api
2. go build -o ./daemon/app ./daemon
3. docker network create torrens
4. docker compose up -d
5. Check docker ps to ensure that five containers are up and running (app, daemon, db, chromiun, smtp)
6. docker exec -it db sh and run mysql -u $MYSQL_USER -p"$MYSQL_PASSWORD" -D $MYSQL_DATABASE < /opt/db.sql inside the container
7. Check that http://localhost:8080/v1/user/balance returns message not authorized

Frontend

Under the rood directory of the project run the following commands:

1. cd frontend
2. yarn install
3. yarn serve
4. Navigate to http://localhost:8081 to ensure that frontend is working
5. Navigate to http://localhost:8025 to receive an email upon registration

Shutdown

1. Terminate yarn serve by pressing `Ctrl+C
2. Under the rood directory of the project run docker-compose down
