This repository serves as the codebase for the admin dashboard to manage hirefeed accounts.
The server and client are separated into different projects and components within a single repository. This separation of concerns allows better agility and freedom in making bleeding edge changes which would otherwise require strong coupling between the two projects.
Consider this: traditional MEAN stacks would build the Node.js and Angular.js together as a streamlined single entity of a Gulp or Grunt file. That architecture inherently couples the two projects.
This project's architecture thus provides
Server and client projects are separated into the following:
server/- A Node.js based REST APIclient/- A React-Redux frontend based on Facebook's create-react-app generator.
@TODO Ideally there would be a package.json in the root project's directory that will use concurrently to being up both services in server/ and client/, but until then:
Run the client project:
cd client/
npm start
Run the server project as follows to seed the database with default users so you can login to the webapp, and set it to run on port 4000 because webpack-dev-server is already taking up port 3000 for the client project:
cd server/
MONGO_SEED=true PORT=4000 npm start
