Breakable Toy 2 - Flight Search

This is the repo for my Breakable Toy 2 project. The project is meant to be run using Docker, but for now it'll only be able to run traditionally.

Running the project

1. Clone this repository

Before doing anything else, you must clone this repository, which can be done by running the following command:

git clone [email protected]:saulprl-enc/flight-search.git

2. Installing dependencies.

The front-end app needs its dependencies to be installed before attempting to run any scripts. First, navigate to the front-end project using cd flight-search-app and then running:

npm install

As a side note, this project was created using Node.js v20.15.1.

3. Environment variables.

The front-end project needs an environment variable to connect to the back-end. You must create a file named .env.local with the following contents:

VITE_APP_API_URL=http://localhost:8080 # or the back-end's IP and port

4. Running the project.

Recommendation: prepare at least to terminals in order to execute each project separately. Otherwise, you can run one project, send it to the background (with Ctrl + Z), and execute the other one.

• Back-end.

First, navigate to the back-end's directory and then run the following commands:

cd backend
./gradlew :build
./gradlew :bootRun

This will install the necessary dependencies, compile the code, and ultimately run the project on port 8080.

• Front-end.

First, navigate to the front-end's directory and then run npm start or npm run start:

cd flight-search-app
npm run start # or npm start

The command line will notify you when the project's up and running on port 5173, and will give you the URL.
