You can also use the Dev Containers extension for VS Code to work locally using a ready-to-use dev environment.

Project details

This project is structured as monorepo and makes use of NPM Workspaces. It's organized as follows:

.devcontainer/    # Dev container configuration
.github/          # GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline
packages/         # The different parts of our app
|- server/        # The Express server, hosting the API and the website
+- client/        # The website client
package.json      # NPM workspace configuration

How to build the project

npm run build

This command will build the client and server packages.

How to setup deployment

./setup.sh

This command will ask you to log in into Azure and GitHub, then set up the AZURE_CREDENTIALS repository secrets for deployment.

How to run locally

npm install
npm run dev

The application will then be available at http://localhost:4200.

Important note: you need to set the environment variables COSMOS_ENDPOINT and COSMOS_KEY to a valid Azure Cosmos DB instance for the server to work. You can use the Try Cosmos website to get one for testing without the need to deploy one yourself (choose Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL).
