Bob's Computer Repair Shop

This repository hosts the capstone project for the Web-450 Mastering the MEAN Stack Bootcamp. Bob's Computer Repair Shop is a comprehensive solution designed to streamline the management of computer repair services. Developed using the full MEAN stack, this application offers a robust and scalable platform for handling customer requests, managing repair tickets, and tracking service repairs.

Technologies Used

• MongoDB: A document-based NoSQL database used for storing all application data.
• Express.js: The backend framework running alongside Node.js to handle server-side logic.
• Angular: A powerful front-end framework used for building a dynamic and responsive user interface. This project was generated with Angular CLI version 16.1.6.
• Node.js: The runtime environment for executing JavaScript code server-side, ensuring a fast and scalable application.
• Bootstrap: Utilized for styling and creating a responsive design, ensuring that our application is accessible and user-friendly across all devices.
• RESTful APIs: To ensure seamless communication between the frontend and backend, enabling a smooth and efficient user experience.

Getting Started

To get the application running locally on your machine, follow these steps:

Prerequisites

Ensure you have Node.js, Angular CLI, and MongoDB installed on your machine for full functionality.

Installation

1. Clone the repository to your local machine.
2. Run npm install to install all required dependencies.
3. Ensure MongoDB is running on your local environment.

Running the Application

• Starting the Backend Server: Navigate to the root directory of the project and run node server/app.js to start the Express server on the default port.
• Starting the Full Application: In the root directory, you can also use npm start which is configured to start both the backend server and the Angular development server, making the full application accessible at http://localhost:4200/.

The application will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.

Development

Code Scaffolding

Run ng generate component component-name to generate a new component. You can also use ng generate directive|pipe|service|class|guard|interface|enum|module.

Build

Run ng build to build the project. The build artifacts will be stored in the dist/ directory.

Testing

• Unit Tests: Run ng test to execute unit tests via Karma.
• End-to-End Tests: Run ng e2e to execute end-to-end tests via a platform of your choice.
