To open this web app, do the following steps:

Step 1: Pull ALL files
Step 2: Go to frontend and backend respectively and execute npm install respectively (just in case)
Step 3: Execute npm run build in frontend
Step 4: Execute npm start in backend
Step 5: Go to localhost:4000 and check!

Deploy in AWS instance with port 80

Step 1: Have your AWS instance

Step 2: Git clone the project

Step 3: install pm2 package globally

    npm install pm2 -g

Step 4: Redirect port 80 to port 3000 command because there is admin permission denied for using port under 1000 (reference link: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16573668/best-practices-when-running-node-js-with-port-80-ubuntu-linode)

    sudo iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3000

Step 5: in Frontend folder run pm2 command

    pm2 start npm -- start

Step 6: Backend same as Frontend

    pm2 start server.js

Everything is ok now! check with your public IP address.

• Username (unique + required) - String of 4~20 chars
• Pwd (required) - String of 4~20 chars, hashed
• Admin (required) - Boolean
• Favourite (array of location._id) - Array Location:
• Location Name (unique + required) - String
• Location lat (unique + required) - String
• Location long (unique + required) - String
• User Comment (array of {User._id, comment: string}) - Array APIs to be used:
• data.gov.hk (as per requirement)
• Google Maps Platforms to be used: For our frontend framework, we will be adopting ReactJS to develop our User Interface. Our main reason for choosing ReactJS is because we believe that we can implement SPA easily with ReactJS. Furthermore, we might also include Bootstrap library for stylistic purposes. As for our backend framework, per requirement, we will be using NodeJS as the backbone of our server. However, for our Database, we will be using MongoDB as our database due to the fact that we are more familiar at implementing noSQL into our server than MySQL and other relational database.

P.S

All data is grabbed from https://www.weatherapi.com/

You need to create an account to get the API key from that.
