This is a modified version of the previous Assignment1 template.

The deploye version can be found at https://lab3-docker.herokuapp.com.

• Removed hardcodes of backend urls.
• Removed hardcodes of database, and replace the database with dummy static data.

• Enter the repo directory
• Create a virtual environment if you haven't done this before. Activate it.

# Windows
py -3 -m venv venv
venv\Scripts\activate

# For Mac and Linux, please check the link: https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/2.2.x/installation/

• Install dependencies (if you haven't done this before).

pip install -r requirements.txt

• Enter the Education_Pathways/ directory, run the backend

flask --app index --debug run

• Enter the Education_Pathways/frontend/ directory
• Make sure the baseURL is set as localhost:5000

# Education_Pathways/frontend/src/api.js
export default axios.create({
   baseURL: "http://localhost:5000/"
});

• Make sure the proxy link in package.json is set as "http://localhost:5000/"

// Part of Education_Pathways\frontend\package.json
"private": true,
"proxy": "http://localhost:5000/",

• Build and run the frontend:

npm run build
npm start

• Then you will see the application at localhost:3000

For detailed instructions on Docker, please refer to the documents for Lab3 on Quercus.

• Change the proxy link in package. Remember to change it back to "http://localhost:5000/"

// Part of Education_Pathways/frontend/package.json
"private": true,
"proxy": "http://host.docker.internal:5000/",

# Under the root directory
docker compose up --build

Please make sure everything works well before you run it with docker.

• Make sure the baseURL is set as [URL to your deployed project]

// Education_Pathways/frontend/src/api.js
export default axios.create({
   baseURL: "[URL to your deployed project]" -- baseURL for deployment
});

• Re-build the frontend to update the baseURL

# Under the frontend/ directory
npm run build

• Deploy your changes to heroku

git push heroku main
