Getted Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

Prerequesties

Please make sure you install node.js, Material UI, MUI-datatables in your local machines.

Installation

For Node.js, please visit the official website and download from there. All installation below via npm.

cd my-app
npm start

Installation for React Bootstrap and axios:

npm install react-bootstrap bootstrap
npm install axios

After finishing installation, you can pull the code from the master branch down to your local computers. (Assume you are currently inside the my-app directory)

git init
git add remote origin url
git pull origin master

Run Project

npm start

Runs the app in the development mode. Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.

The page will reload if you make edits. You will also see any lint errors in the console.

Azure Pipeline

Azure pipelines are set up such that testing and deployment can be done in a rapid fashion. This allows jobs to be execute concurrently.

Build Pipeline

The pipeline are run automatically when code changes are submit to the master and development branch in the source repository. When the pipelines are trigger build artefact. is build by the build agent

trigger:
      branches:
        include:
        - master
        - development
      paths:
        include:
          - my-app/*

        exclude:
        - README.md
        - azure-pipelines.yml
        - img/*

It is decided the trigger to ignore all documentation files when there is no changes to the core application.

- script: |
    cd $(rootDir)
    npm install
    npm run build
    cd ..
  displayName: 'npm install and build'

The artifact is build and archived at the end of trigger.

Release Pipeline

The Release pipeline are run automatically when new commit is made to the master branch. The new web application will be build and deployed using Microsoft Azure Services.
