Overview

Probabi-List-ic Purchases facilitates the organisation of the best past-time — shopping for cheapies made out of Chineseum

Technologies

The app is a single-page application that uses Angular for the front-end, NestJS for the back-end, and MySQL for the local database server

Setup

To clone and run this application, you'll need Git and Node.js installed on your computer (or just download it from the repo). From the command line:

# Clone this repository
$ git clone https://github.com/GabrielAndreiPreda/wishlist-app

# Install dependencies
$ npm install

Npm can be used to run the application with the following command that starts both the front-end and back-end at the same time

npm start

For debugging the front-end and back-end can be served separately

nx wish-list:serve
nx api:serve

The local MySQL database has to be on the default port (3306) and the username & password have to be both 'root' to work out of the box.

These settings can be changed in the NestJS app.module file (wishlist-app\apps\api\src\app.module.ts)

A starter database export can be found in the Optional Setup folder with a pre-made user (username:test & pass:123). Alternatively you may create a 'wishlist' schema and the tables will be created automatically on start-up
