Bamazon Node App

Getting Started

Node Dependencies

After checking out the project, the developer should navigate to the root of the project then run the following command...

npm install

Doing this will pull down node dependencies specified in package.json. The following screenshot shows the ouput of running this command.

Local MySQL Setup

In order to run Bamazon locally, a developer needs to have a mysql database called "bamazon" on their machine. Also the developer will need to create a .env file which will be used by the dotenv node module to populate the database connection details (username, password, address, etc). The contents of this file are specified below.

.env File Contents

Bamazon will populate the mysql database connection details by reading a .env file (which the developer will need to create). The contents of the .env file should look similar to the following with the contents of the curly braces replaced with correct values:

DB_HOST=localhost
DB_SCHEMA=bamazon
DB_USER={some user}
DB_PASS={some password}

Importing Sample Data

To import sample data, run the following command within the root of the bamazon project and enter your mysql password when prompted.

mysql -u root -p < bamazon_schema.sql

Running Bamazon

The following steps assume that the developer has A) MySQL installed with data imported, B) run npm install and C) set up a .env file with connection details to a mysql database on which the developer has specified a user/pass combination with the correct access rights. See above for more details on this. Upon running bamazon, the user will see the following if they have set the project up correctly.

After the user enters the values the are being prompted for (see above screenshot) and hits enter, the table will refresh and update the quantities of the objects (in our example above, we bought three ASUS X555L Laptops). Thus we are presented with the following table:
