Full-stack web application

ihub is a reference project for modern full-stack web application built using TypeScript, React.js, Redux, Node.js, Express, and MongoDB.

Objectives

• Build highly decoupled web application components UI, API and Database/Persistence
• Each components should be scaled and released independently
• Introduce productive software development tools and techniques
• Introduce modern application deployment tools i.e. Kubernetes and Docker

The two major components

1. API RESTful API built with Node.js, Express, MongoDB, and TypeScript.
2. UI Single Page Application built with React.js, Redux and TypeScript.

Setup instruction

The recommended way to run the app is using docker compose.

1. Install docker: Docker

2. Run docker compose

   docker compose up --build

Some useful docker commands

docker compose up --build // to run all apps together based on docker-compose.yml file
docker remove 02136a267daa // remove a container

docker images // list images
docker rmi image_name -f // remove an image

// sync local working directory with container working directory
docker run -v $(pwd):/container-workdir -p host-port:container-port --name container-name  image-name

// Check image vulnerabilities
docker scout quickview
docker scout cves image_name:version
