The procedure outlined expects that you're setting up for testing or development. The DevOps team will be responsible for server setup and configuration required in a production environment.
Provided you use Linux/GNU and have git installed, the application can be started by cloning this repository on the command line using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/wigit-ng/webapp.git wigit-webappchanging working directory into the application directory:
cd wigit-webappThe backend is written in Go Programming Language and uses the Gin Web Framework. Server configurations will be carried out by the DevOps team in production prior to backend deployment. The following instructions apply to devolopment and testing. Documentation for the backend API is available on GitHub. Documentation on the back-end API has also been done using Swagger.
You only need docker installed.
Navigate to the backend directory from the root of the project:
cd backendRun the docker compose command:
docker compose up --build -dto create three required services, and start three required containers namely:
- wigit
- wigit-mysql
- wigit-redis
Run docker compose ps to see the containers running.
The wigit container runs the main app, and listens for connections on port
8080.
NB: You can edit this sample.env file based on your preferred backend configuration, and then rename it to
.envto allow docker compose use it instead of the defaults, if you wish.
You can now send requests to the backend API on port 8080. You can use cURL,
E.g but I like to use xh. Cleaner output and
easier syntax.
xh:
xh :8080/api/v1/productscURL:
curl http://localhost:8080/api/v1/productsYou will need to create a regular user account:
xh:
xh post :8080/api/v1/signup email='yours@email.com' password='password' \
repeat_password='password' first_name='John' last_name='Doe' \
address='No 10. Nothing Rd' phone=07038639012cURL:
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/v1/signup \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"email": "yours@email.com",
"password": "password",
"repeat_password": "password",
"first_name": "John",
"last_name": "Doe",
"address": "No 10. Nothing Rd",
"phone": "07038639012"
}'Then, update the role from customer to admin to enable you manage
products and services by starting up a shell in the wigit-mysql container:
docker exec -it wigit-mysql bashGo into the database:
mysqlUpdate the newly created user role to admin:
UPDATE wigit.users SET role = 'admin' WHERE email = 'yours@email.com'; exit;Exit the wigit-mysql terminal by typing exit.
The above actions now gives the user permission to perform admin duties, like managing products and services.
JWT is used for authentication. A sample request to add a new product looks like:
xh:
xh post :8080/api/v1/admin/products -A bearer -a token_returned_on_signup \
name='Ghanaian wig' description='A custom made wig for ghana' stock:=10 price:=300 \
image_url='https://images.pexels.com/photos/973406/pexels-photo-973406.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&w=1260&h=750&dpr=1' \
category='straight'cURL:
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/v1/admin/products \
-H "Authorization: Bearer token_returned_on_signup" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"name": "Ghanaian wig",
"description": "A custom made wig for Ghana",
"stock": 10,
"price": 300,
"image_url": "https://images.pexels.com/photos/973406/pexels-photo-973406.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&w=1260&h=750&dpr=1",
"category": "straight"
}'The docker environment is setup to persist the data between runs, or even if a
new container is spun, as volumes are mounted in the wigit-docker-data
directory for the database and logs.

For the frontend, the initial steps are carried out on the already configured frontend server in production, or anywhere for testing and devolopment purposes. The frontend depends on a deployed backend whose hostname is used in the source code.
Next, change directory into the frontend directory which is where the frontend source code resides and is the root of the frontend built with Next.js.
cd frontendinstall all dependencies needed with:
npm installIn production, the Frontend is built using npm build, and then the static
files are duly deployed on the server. For testing purposes, the devolopment
server will do. Start it by running:
npm run devVisit http://localhost:3000 on your browser to interact with the application.
The fullstack application can be interacted with from the browser by visiting the deployed application at the webapp.
