Setup before running application

Before running the application for the first time, you need to do the steps documented in docs/oauth.md.

Otherwise, when you try to login for the first time, you will likely see an error such as:

Getting Started on localhost

• Open two separate terminal windows
• In the first window, start up the backend with:

  mvn spring-boot:run

• In the second window:

  cd frontend
  npm install  # only on first run or when dependencies change
  npm start

Then, the app should be available on http://localhost:8080

If it doesn't work at first, e.g. you have a blank page on http://localhost:8080, give it a minute and a few page refreshes. Sometimes it takes a moment for everything to settle in.

If you see the following on localhost, make sure that you also have the frontend code running in a separate window.

Failed to connect to the frontend server... On Dokku, be sure that PRODUCTION is defined.  On localhost, open a second terminal window, cd into frontend and type: npm install; npm start;

Accessing swagger

To access the swagger API endpoints, use:

• http://localhost:8080/swagger-ui/index.html

To run React Storybook

• cd into frontend

• use: npm run storybook

• This should put the storybook on http://localhost:6006

• Additional stories are added under frontend/src/stories

• For documentation on React Storybook, see: https://storybook.js.org/

SQL Database access

On localhost:

• The SQL database is an H2 database and the data is stored in a file under target
• Each time you do mvn clean the database is completely rebuilt from scratch
• You can access the database console via a special route, http://localhost:8080/h2-console
• For more info, see docs/h2-database.md

On Heroku:

• The SQL database is a postgres database provisioned automatically by Heroku
• You can reset it with heroku pg:reset --app app-name-goes-here
• More info and instructions for access the SQL prompt are at docs/postgres-database.md
