About the project

The project is split into two parts; one for the api and one for the client.

Client

The client side of the project is made using Next.js (React) and simply sends requests to the API to show it nicely to the user.

The client side is currently hosted on Vercel.

API

The API/server side of the project is made using Express.js as the webframework to gather data from the stores. The stores does not have public API's and therefore you would have to reverse engineer their sites in order to add new stores.

The data from the stores are stored in a MongoDB database.

Clone and setup yourself

1. Clone the project git clone https://github.com/BE-CH/tilbudstracker
2. Run yarn install in both api folder and client folder.
3. Setup a MongoDB database.
4. Create a .env file in both api and client folder. See the description below to see what the .env files should contain.
5. Run yarn startDev or yarn startProd to concurrently run both the client server and the API in either developer mode or production.

.env

The API .env should contain;

NODE_ENV
ALGOLIA_API_KEY_REMA (from Rema endpoints)
ALGOLIA_APP_ID_REMA (from Rema endpoints)
ALGOLIA_API_KEY_FOETEX (from Føtex endpoints)
ALGOLIA_APP_ID_FOETEX (from Føtex endpoints)
CONNECTION_STRING (MongoDB)

The CLIENT .env should contain;

NODE_ENV
