DriveTransfer

This web app will allow Google Drive users to transfer file ownership in bulk.

Setting up for development

1. Install mongoDB
2. Establish a replica set
3. Clone this repo
4. Add the needed config.js to local_modules/shared.
5. Run npm install for request-server
6. Run npm install for task-server
7. Run npm install for client
8. Run the mongo server, ensuring it is accessible using the keys in config.js
9. Log in to Chrome as drivetransfer@edmonton.ca
10. Run npm run dev for both client and request-server
11. Open the application
12. Log in
13. Run npm run dev for the task-server

At this point, all servers should be working and the client should be building.

Optional: Link the shared local package to both the task server and the request server.

Client

The client is a very small web form that uses React. It has a web socket connection to the request-server and also issues some simple API calls to the request server. It has no method of communicating directly with the task server.

Request Server

The request server handles all direct interaction with clients. This includes authenticating users using OAuth 2. Most interactions result in some data being written to the Mongo database. A socket is maintained for each active user.

Task Server

The task server does most of the heavy lifting. File listing, file transfers, sending emails and deleting certain files are all done through this server.
