• Nest.js for the backend (API)
• MongoDB as the main (and only) DB
• Jest + supertest for backend tests
• React (via CRA) for the frontend app
• Tailwind CSS for frontend styling

• Unix-like environment (MacOS, Linux, WSL). Windows is not supported
• node v14.x.y
• npm >= v7.x.y
• mongodb running locally

• It is highly recommended to seed the sample data by running npm run seed:users and npm run seed:cases from the backend folder

• Go to the backend folder and install dependencies (if you haven't already done so) with npm ci
• Create a .env file inside the backend folder (see .env.example as an example, or for the purposes of this project, rename it to .env)
• Customize any variables you need in .env
• Run mongodb on port 27017 (or set MONGODB_URI in .env to customize the connection string)
• Run npm start

• In another terminal, go to the frontend folder and install dependencies (if you haven't already done so) with npm ci
• Run npm start
• Use seed user credentials to log in (username: [email protected] and password: example)

• You can view the API docs on /api

• Run npm run build, you'll see the transpiled output in the dist directory (this works for both backend and frontend apps), you can then serve the output using your deployment configuration
• For the backend app, you can alternatively just run npm start to run in production mode
• For the backend app, you can also build a docker image using docker build .

• Run npm run test to run tests. npm run test:e2e for e2e tests (you need to have MongoDB running), and npm run test:cov to check code coverage
• You can find the collected coverage in the generated coverage directory

As previously mentioned, you must have a .env file in the backend folder with the following schema:

# App operating mode, set to 'production' to run in production mode
NODE_ENV=

# Port the application will listen on
PORT=

# Connection URI for the database
MONGODB_URI=

• Set up a logger and customize log levels
• Hash/salt passwords
• Add client tests
• UI improvements
• Health-check endpoint (useful when running in a containerized setup)
• CI config
• Development docker-compose config
• Pre-commit hooks (linting, type-checks)
