This is a simple visual implementation of John Conway's Game of Life. It's main focus is to learn following concepts during software application lifecycle:

• CI/CD integration using local GitLab server
• Monorepo project structure
• Websocket communication between client and server

This repository uses Yarn as a package manager. It includes the following packages/apps:

• frontend: a React app create using CRA
• backend: a Node.js app built with Express framework
• logger: a logger implementation using Winston, used by backend applications
• config: eslint configurations (includes eslint-config-airbnb and eslint-config-prettier)
• tsconfig: tsconfig.json's used throughout the monorepo

Each package/app is 100% TypeScript.

This turborepo has some additional tools:

• TypeScript for static type checking
• ESLint for code linting
• Prettier for code formatting
• Craco for configuring CRA without eject

This turborepo, apart from being hosted on GitHub, was developed using locally set up GitLab server, in order to make use of its vast CI/CD support for learning purposes. All services required for CI/CD and monitoring functionality are defined inside ci-cd/docker-compose.yml file, which contains:

• GitLab server - for storing repository locally
• GitLab runner - for running CI/CD pipeline and executing jobs specified in .gitlab-ci.yml file
• Portainer - for monitoring status of dockerized CI/CD stack
• SonarQube - for performing static code analysis automatically as a pipeline step
• PostgreSQL - for storing SonarQube related data

This repository is used in the npx create-turbo command, and selected when choosing which package manager you wish to use with your monorepo (Yarn).

To build all apps and packages, run the following command:

cd game-of-life-v2
yarn run build

To develop all apps and packages, run the following command:
