CozyCanvas

Development

Setting up virtual environment and installing npm packages

1. $ python3 -m venv venv
2. $ source venv/bin/activate
3. $ pip install -r requirements.txt
4. $ cd frontend/
5. $ npm install

Virtual environment must be activated before starting Flask server (Step 2).

Start Docker, Flask, and React

1. In a new terminal: $ docker-compose up mongodb
2. In a new terminal, with venv activated: $ flask --app cozycanvas --debug run --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
3. In a new terminal, from the frontend/ directory: $ npm start:frontend
4. Navigate to 127.0.0.1:3000/

Alternatively, from the frontend/ directory, you may run $ npm start to start all three processes concurrently. Virtual environment must be activated beforehand. All terminal output will be in a single terminal. Output from different processes can be distinguished by their [#] prefix.

Docker stuff

• If you update docker-compose.yaml or Dockerfile, make sure you build again by running docker-compose build
