Pre-assignment for Reaktor Summer 2021

Demos: frontend warehouse.luukuton.fi & backend ware-api.luukuton.fi

Backend has to be set up first! Otherwise the frontend won't build as it's server-side-rendered.

Backend

A really simple local backend to make more sense of the Bad API. Made with Ruby.

The default port of the backend can be changed in backend.rb by changing line: set :port, 4755,

Installation & Usage

1. cd backend
2. Install dependencies bundle install
3. Start with: ruby backend.rb

Running backend the first time can take up to 1-2 minutes depending on the connection and the amount of Bad API's built-in intentional failures.

Dependencies

• Ruby 3.0+ (should work with Ruby 2.x as well)
• Other web servers such as Puma work as well (default Webrick)

Frontend

A server-side-rendered frontend made with Next.js.

The default backend URL can be changed in .env.local.

Installation & Usage

1. cd frontend
2. Install dependencies: npm install --force
3. Start with: npm run build & npm run start or just npm run dev for the development mode

Dependencies

• nodejs v14.16.0+ (LTS)
• npm latest (tested with 7.4.2)

Something to improve

• Improve or change VirtualScroller to something faster
• More precise internal caching!
