Add Medication component should be linked to backend

[manaschubby]

Add Medication functionality to be implemented by connecting the main process using IPC communication. Either new medicine should be created or if pre-existing exists it should directly create a medication for the patient.

I'd love to help out with this project, if possible!

[manaschubby]

@TreLynnnn Thank you for reaching out! We would love to have you on board with MediLink Pro.

Clone the repo and start the app on your machine. Add a patient and then click on the patient in the Patient Table to open his/her individual page. You'll find that the Add Appointment and Add Diagnosis pop ups are functional, but Add Medication are not. We need to make that functional too. Using IPC Communication the data needs to be send to the main process and added into the database.

Do you want me to assign the issue to you?

[TreLynnnn]

Yes, please! Glad I can help.

[manaschubby]

When adding a new patient, clicking the “+” opens a new dashboard window but doesn’t allow the user to add the new patient info. Opens a new window each time. — Getting an error of Unhandled Promise rejection. This prevents me from viewing the patient table.

[manaschubby]

@TreLynnnn You are right. We are facing this issue because of our migration to HashRouter from BrowserRouter. I shall resolve this issue and update the branch. Till then in the main.js file, in the ipcMain.on("add-patient", (e, arg) => { function change the addPatientWindow.loadURL("http://localhost:3000/add-patient"); to addPatientWindow.loadURL("http://localhost:3000#/add-patient");. This should let you open the add-patient window properly.

[manaschubby]

Hi @TreLynnnn Please sync your fork, there are some changes regarding our migration from BrowserRouter to HashRouter. You'll be able to open the AddPatient window properly now

[manaschubby]

Was your issue resolved?

[TreLynnnn]

I've synced and the window now opens for user to input patient info, but once "add patient" is clicked it loads indefinitely. I'm getting a mongoose timeout error. I've added my own connection string with no luck. Here's my terminal.

[manaschubby]

Please duplicate the .env.example file and rename it to .env.

That will connect it to your local mongodb server. If you plan to use Atlas. Add the URI to the .env.

[TreLynnnn]

I did. Here's what I have.

[manaschubby]

Can you try finding whether Mongoose has been connected successfully? It should be logged somewhere near the start of the electron app in the terminal. Please let us know if you find it.

[manaschubby]

Also, I suggest add a /MediLinkPro at the end of your URI, so that your database is segregated properly.

[TreLynnnn]

Alright, I fixed the connection string and restarted the server. No error message about the db connection nor does it say it's been successfully connected. I only have this error...

--> (node:7998) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: MongooseError: Operation patients.find() buffering timed out after 10000ms [1] at Timeout. (/Users/fcp339/Projects/MediLink-Pro/node_modules/mongoose/lib/drivers/node-mongodb-native/collection.js:185:23) [1] at listOnTimeout (node:internal/timers:569:17) [1] at process.processTimers (node:internal/timers:512:7)

[manaschubby]

This is most likely due to a failed or problematic connection to MongoDB. Can you check whether collections were made in your Database? Also, check whether you have added your IP address in the Database Access section of MongoDB Atlas.

[manaschubby]

A message like this Connected to MongoDB Atlas should be displayed. You don't need to use Atlas. You can also use your Local Mongo for the same.

[TreLynnnn]

Okay I'll try that now

[manaschubby]

Were you successful?

[manaschubby]

Hi @TreLynnnn, if you are facing any issues please let us know!

[TreLynnnn]

Still working through it. I've already checked my cluster, updated the password and connection string. I got a failed to connect to DB message earlier, but fixed it. Still getting the same error from above. I'll work through it a bit more and see if I can make some progress. I'll update you all in a few hours. Thanks so much for your patience!

[TreLynnnn]

Finally got it fixed! 🤗 I can start working out the issue now.

[manaschubby]

That's awesome. I am glad you were able to resolve the problems. Do let us know if we can assist in any way.
