-
Frontend: React.js
-
Design: Material UI
Frontend Folder Structure
The generated application has the following frontend folder structure:
src
folder which contains your working files that will be used later to create the build. the src folder contains folders as:-
actions
- the instructions the user issue to the redux to either write or fetch data from the store; -
components
- this module consists of a collection of UI components of your project; -
context
- contains all your context files; -
images
- contains all images used in your project ; -
pages
- this module contains the general components for CRUD:-
CRUD/Users
folder, which includesform
,helpers
,page
,tables
folders; -
dashboard

error
folder; -
login
folder; -
reset
folder; -
starter
folder; -
user
folder; -
verify
folder.
-
-
reducer
- contains functions that take actions from the application, perform an action and return a new state based on the action passed into it.
public
- is the web-accessible root of the site. Basically whatever is in that folder can be opened from the browser address bar. The server won't provide user access to files outside the public. -
-
Backend: NodeJS
Backend Folder Structure
The generated application has the following backend folder structure:
src
folder which contains your working files that will be used later to create the build. The src folder contains folders as:-
auth
- config the library for authentication and authorization; -
db
- contains such folders as:-
api
- documentation that is automatically generated by jsdoc or other tools; -
migrations
- is a skeleton of the database or all the actions that users do with the database; -
models
- what will represent the database for the backend; -
seeders
- the entity that creates the data for the database.
-
-
routes
- this folder would contain all the routes that you have created using Express Router and what they do would be exported from a Controller file; -
services
- contains such folders asemails
andnotifications
.

Database: mySQL
Please change current folder:
cd backend
MacOS:
- Download MySQL database server: (https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/)
- Install the package.
- Afterwards, in the terminal move to the next directory:
cd backend/src/db/db.config.js
- Change development.password to that you set for the root on MySQL installation process.
Windows:
- Download MySQL database server from the following link: (http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/installer/).
- Install the package and select Server Machine as the configuration type.
Ubuntu:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install mysql-server
yarn db:create
yarn start
Please change current folder:
cd frontend
This will install both run-time project dependencies and developer tools listed in package.json file.
Runs the app in the development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser. Whenever you modify any of the source files inside the /src
folder,
the module bundler (Webpack) will recompile the
app on the fly and refresh all the connected browsers.
Builds the app for production to the build folder. It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.
The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes. Your app is ready to be deployed!
The project contains the docker folder and the Dockerfile
.
The Dockerfile
is used to Deploy the project to Google Cloud.
The docker folder contains a couple of helper scripts:
-
docker-compose.yml
(all our services: web, backend, db are described here) -
start-backend.sh
(starts backend, but only after the database) -
wait-for-it.sh
(imported from https://github.com/vishnubob/wait-for-it)To avoid breaking the application, we recommend you don't edit the following files: everything that includes the docker folder and
Dokerfile
.
-
Install docker compose (https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)
-
Move to
docker
folder. All next steps should be done from this folder.cd docker
-
Make executables from
wait-for-it.sh
andstart-backend.sh
:chmod +x start-backend.sh && chmod +x wait-for-it.sh
-
Download dependend projects for services.
-
Review the docker-compose.yml file. Make sure that all services have Dockerfiles. Only db service doesn't require a Dockerfile.
-
Make sure you have needed ports (see them in
ports
) available on your local machine. -
Start services:
7.1. With an empty database
rm -rf data && docker-compose up
7.2. With a stored (from previus runs) database data
docker-compose up
-
Check http://localhost:3000
-
Stop services:
9.1. Just press
Ctr+C
-
connection refused
There could be many reasons, but the most common are:
-
The port is not open on the destination machine.
-
The port is open on the destination machine, but its backlog of pending connections is full.
-
A firewall between the client and server is blocking access (also check local firewalls).
After checking for firewalls and that the port is open, use telnet to connect to the IP/port to test connectivity. This removes any potential issues from your application.
MacOS:
If you suspect that your SSH service might be down, you can run this command to find out:
sudo service ssh status
If the command line returns a status of down, then you’ve likely found the reason behind your connectivity error.
Ubuntu:
Sometimes a connection refused error can also indicate that there is an IP address conflict on your network. You can search for possible IP conflicts by running:
arp-scan -I eth0 -l | grep <ipaddress>
arp-scan -I eth0 -l | grep <ipaddress>
and
arping <ipaddress>
-
yarn db:create
creates database with the assembled tables (on MacOS with Postgres database)The workaround - put the next commands to your Postgres database terminal:
DROP SCHEMA public CASCADE;
CREATE SCHEMA public;
GRANT ALL ON SCHEMA public TO postgres;
GRANT ALL ON SCHEMA public TO public;
Afterwards, continue to start your project in the backend directory by running:
yarn start
