swell-devtest

A full-stack application using NestJS with Prisma and React with Material UI.

This project was generated using Nx.

TL;DR

1. Fork this repository on GitHub
2. Run npm install
3. Run npm run setup
4. Run npm start
5. Browse to http://localhost:4200

Introduction

This project is a simple web app for full-stack developer candidates.

The project was generated using Nx to provide a modern integrated dev experience.

The app doesn't do much (yet)... that part is up to the applicant.

Project Structure

The project is a simple Nx workspace with two applications, located in the apps directory. For simplicity, we chose not to place code in libraries (libs directory), but if you are familiar with Nx, you are more than welcome to refactor the code to use libraries. There is also a db directory which contains a sample SQLite database seeded with some data, and a prisma directory which contains the Prisma schema file.

Getting Started

To get you started you can simply fork the swell-devtest repository, clone it locally, and install the dependencies.

Install Node

This project requires Node for building and running the application.

We recommend using Node Version Manager (nvm) to manage your Node installations. If you don't already have nvm installed, you can install it by following the instructions for your platform:

• macOS/Linux
• Windows

Once you have nvm installed, you can install Node v18 by running the following command:

nvm install 18.0.0
nvm use 18.0.0

Install Dependencies

Run the following command to install the project dependencies:

npm install

Create the Database

This project uses a simple SQLite database. A seeded database is include in the repository at <projectRoot>/db/swell-sample.db. Before running the application, you will need to copy this file to <projectRoot>/db/swell.db by running the following command:

npm run setup

Running the Application

The project contains both backend (reviews-api) and front end (reviews-client) applications. To start both applications, run the following command:

npm start

This will start the backend API server on port 3333 and the front end application on port 4200. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.

The applications can also be run independently by running the following commands:

# Start the backend API server
npm run serve reviews-api

# Start the front end application
npm run serve reviews-client

Backend Proxy

For convenience, the front end application is configured to proxy API requests to the backend API server. When making requests to the API, you can use the relative path /api.

Running Unit Tests

Tests are run using Jest. Tests for each application can be run independently by running the following commands:

# Run unit tests for the backend API server
npm run test reviews-api

# Run unit tests for the front end application
npm run test reviews-client

Running Tests in Watch Mode

To run the tests in watch mode, run the following command:

# Run unit tests for the backend API server in watch mode
npm run test reviews-api -- --watch

# Run unit tests for the front end application in watch mode
npm run test reviews-client -- --watch

Code Coverage

To generate code coverage reports, run the following command:

# Generate code coverage reports for the backend API server
npm run test reviews-api -- --coverage

# Generate code coverage reports for the front end application
npm run test reviews-client -- --coverage

Coverage will be reported in the console after the tests run, and a detailed HTML report will be generated in the coverage directory.

Test Affected Code

You can also run tests for all projects that have been affected by a change by running the following command:

npm run affected test

Code Scaffolding

This project uses Nx to provide a modern integrated dev experience. Nx includes a number of code generators that can be used to generate libraries, modules, controllers, services, components, etc.
