Email Service App

Front-end web application for Email Service

How to run the application

Prerequisites

• NodeJS version 8.9.4 or higher
• GIT

Steps

1. Clone the project

git clone https://github.com/ramirezag/email-service-app
cd email-service-app

2. Install the dependencies

  npm install

3. Inside the project, create .env file and set API_BASE_URL

cat echo "API_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000/api" > .env // Replace API_BASE_URL value to the value of where you deployed the email-service-api

4. Serve with hot reload at localhost:8080

npm run dev

Other commands

• Build for production with minification. Verify first if API_BASE_URL in .env points to where Email Service API is deployed. Then execute the command below. This will generate dist folder. Use Serve or put the dist folder at the root of any server.

npm run build

• Run unit tests

npm run unit

For detailed explanation on how things work, checkout the guide and docs for vue-loader.

How to build a docker image and run a docker container

Prerequisites

• Docker CE
• GIT

Steps to build a docker image

1. Clone the project

git clone https://github.com/ramirezag/email-service-app
cd email-service-api

2. Build a docker image by executing - sudo docker build -t <repo_name>/email-service-app .

   Eg.

   sudo docker build -t ramirezag/email-service-app .

Steps to run a docker container

1. Run the container by executing - sudo docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -e API_BASE_URL=<api_url> --name email-service-app ramirezag/email-service-api. Where <api_url> is the base api url of running Email Service API. You can omit -e API_BASE_URL=<api_url> if Email Service API is running locally at port 3000.

   Eg.

   sudo docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -e API_BASE_URL=http://52.89.255.98:3000/api --name email-service-app ramirezag/email-service-app

   Note(s)

   I already built a docker image for this project. You can grab and run it by executing

   sudo docker pull ramirezag/email-service-app
   sudo docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -e API_BASE_URL=http://52.89.255.98:3000/api --name email-service-app ramirezag/email-service-app

TODO:

• Use chips in email representation
• Implement lazy loading (https://router.vuejs.org/en/advanced/lazy-loading.html)
• Use store pattern - see Vuex. Replace this.$parent calls
