Frontend

Running

To run the frontend you need to compile the code in sbt and then do some Javascript setup (which requires you have npm installed on your machine.)

First, the Scala side of things. From within sbt run

frontend / fastOptJS

Now the Javascript side. From a terminal, change into the frontend directory

cd frontend

Install Javascript dependencies

npm install

Start the web server running the frontend

npm start

Visit localhost:1234 and you should see the frontend.

Developing

Code is in src/main/{css,html,scala}

• We attempted to setup a database with a table to store book. We decided to run this all as tasks from sbt using

  • Docker to create the database
  • Flyway to populate the database

• Errors to resolve:

  • snorri": -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'
  • how do we specify flyway files location to Flyway.configure

• We spent a lot of time doing devops style work. Not very much programming.

• Set a target: We're going all into web development! Plus DBs.
• Choose libs for DB: postgresql / skunk, UI: Tyrian
• Set up testcontainers: add integration module, check if postgres image is up and running
• Wrote a test with ScalaTest.
• The testcontainers docs are out of date.
• Learned how to troubleshoot docker containers:
  • Looking at Docker desktop to see running containers.

• Get a book with a given id
  • Created getBookById route

• Use the updated version of krop with updates Noel demonstrated
• Get a book with a given id
