We need to get the Backend running first and then the Frontend so that Next JS can connect to the Graph QL endpoint on the backend. Each 📁 in the master branch is a separate node deployment in itself. (backend and frontend)
Open .env_sample in backend and fill it with your own details. For that you'll need to create an account in Mongo DB, Cloudinary (for storing product photos) and Stripe. Then rename .env_sample to .env.
Also fill in your Stripe public key in frontend/.env.local
1.Comment out the shown highlighted code in backend/schemas/Role.ts
2.Run the below commands in root folder of backend and frontend
npm install
npm run build
npm run start3.Visit http://localhost:3000/
You'll prompted to create an initial account , this is going to be the administrator account.
After logging in, go the Roles tab and create a new Role
called 'Admin' and check all the boxes. Assign the Admin
Role to yourself.
4.Now uncomment the previously commented code and restart the backend server
5.Now visit http://localhost:7777/ which is the frontend Next JS deployment.
Create clubs from Admin account, then assign the Convener role to any user from the member dashboard . The convener can add products and dispatch requests made by any regular member user. Leave reviews, rank bestsellers, other cool stuff like caching, etc taken care of!
