appy is a full featured boilerplate web app designed as an end to end solution for mvp development. The frontend is built on Vue.js and utilizes the AdminLTE UI template. The backend implements a hapi server (via rest-hapi) with a MongoDB datastore.

Requirements

Just Docker

OR

You need Node.js installed (>=12.14.1) and you'll need MongoDB installed and running.

Getting Started

Download from GitHub:

$ git clone https://github.com/JKHeadley/appy.git
$ cd appy

Using Docker

NOTE: Docker commands might take some time on the first build. After the first build they should be relatively quick.

Rename backend/.env-docker-sample to backend/.env-docker and update any secrets or keys as needed (this is not required, but at minimum providing a valid IPSTACK_ACCESS_KEY will allow for proper dashboard data). Never commit .env-docker to your repo

Also, update values in backend/config/index.js as needed.

Seed the db with data (only required once):

$ sh seed_data.sh

Once seeding is done, run the app:

$ sh run_app.sh

Point your browser to http://localhost:3000/ to view the app, http://localhost:8080/ to view the swagger API docs, or click on one of the test accounts below to login:

NOTE: Password for all seed users is root.

Without Docker

Install dependencies:

Backend

$ cd backend
$ npm install

Frontend

Backend Configuration

Rename .env-sample to .env and update any secrets or keys as needed (this is not required, but at minimum providing a valid IPSTACK_ACCESS_KEY will allow for proper dashboard data). Never commit .env to your repo

Also, update values in backend/config/index.js as needed.

First time setup

WARNING: This will clear all data in the MongoDB database defined in restHapiConfig.mongo.URI (default mongodb://localhost/appy).

To seed your database with some data, run:

$ npm run seed

NOTE: The password for all seed users is root.
