Deploy Awesome

This application creates an index of the largest collection of cool internet resources called awesome. It exposes querying functionality via REST API.

💜 Some tech used

  • flexsearch - Next-Generation full text search library for Browser and Node.js
  • bull - Premium Queue package for handling distributed jobs and messages in NodeJS
  • typeorm - ORM for TypeScript and JavaScript

📦️ Run with docker

  1. Clone this repository

    Move to your desired directory and run the following git command.

    git clone https://github.com/bartolomej/awesomesearch

  2. Download and install docker desktop.

  3. Create cloudinary account for image storage

  4. Generate Github access token (optional)

  5. Configure environment variables

    Create .env file in ./server directory, containing all required environmental variables defined in ./server/.env.example template.

  6. Build and run docker containers

    Simply run docker-compose up to run all services required for the app to work (redis, mysql, web and worker processes).

  7. Start client applications

    You can then finally start the app in development mode with the following commands:

    • website: cd website && yarn start
    • dashboard: cd dashboard && yarn start

⚙️ Run manually

You can run this app on your local machine as well, but you will need to set up a few things first:

  1. Clone this repository

    Move to your desired directory and run the following git command.

    git clone https://github.com/bartolomej/awesomesearch

  2. Install and run Redis server

    This is needed for job queue functionality. Install from here.

  3. Create cloudinary account for image storage

  4. Generate Github access token (optional)

  5. Setup environmental variables

    Here we will define private credentials for our app to use. This follows 12 factor app methodology. Required environmental variables are listed in .env.example file.

  6. Install dependencies

    In your project root run sh install.sh to install required dependencies.

  7. Start applications

    You can then finally start the app in development mode with the following commands:

    • server: cd server && yarn start:dev
    • website: cd website && yarn start
    • dashboard: cd dashboard && yarn start

🔨 Testing

  • Unit & integration tests

    These tests validate that isolated and connected modules of code work well. Run with yarn run test.

  • Performance tests

    These test real life performance of our application by simulating what normal users would do. To run these you will need to install artillery tool and then run yarn run test:load:staging.
