USPolis-Admin

This is the main repo of the USPolis Admin application. It contains the two repositories for Backend and Frontend and sets the configurations for docker.

Running

The idea is to run both the backend and frontend on one docker container and the mongodb on another. For this, the docker compose is configured. Running the following command should do the trick

docker compose build && docker compose up

VSCode Usage

To use with vscode, you must first intall the extensions Remote Explorer and Docker.

After raising the containers, openning the Remote Explorer should reveal two docker containers of the compose we've done: one for the applications and another for the database

Click connecto to the database one and start coding!

Connecting to MongoDB

Connect to Container

To interact with your mongodb raised on docker compose, you must first connect to the container itself. To do this, you can use either the VSCode Remote Explorer and attach a VSCode instance to the container, or use your own docker command on terminal, like this:

docker exec -it uspolis-admin-mongodb-1 /bin/bash

Launch MongoSH

Now that we're connected, we must launch the mongosh, the cli program to interact with the running database. However, we must inform the credentials on the command, becouse our database is being created with user and password in our docker-compose file. For now, our credentials are user:pass, so the command is this one:

mongosh -u user -p pass

Once you-ve launched it, you can start using the mongosh commands, that you can find in MongoDB documentation. An example is the command to list databases:

show dbs
