models are shared across backend, frontend components and templates, and also used for queries in sample and production.

stores defines traits implemented by sample and production and dynamically dispatched by backend.

openapi consists of generated bindings for the v3 Waterloo OpenData API.

Dev Requirements

1. Rust
2. npm
3. Docker
4. perseus-cli

   cargo install perseus-cli

5. sqlx-cli

   cargo install sqlx-cli --no-default-features --features native-tls,postgres

Dev Setup

1. Clone the repository.

   git clone [email protected]:GauravTalreja/ebb.git
   cd ebb

2. Install npm dependencies. This is required each time package-lock.json changes. It is unlikely that it will change in the future as we are only using npm for DaisyUI.

   npm install

3. Copy env/sample.env or env/prod.env to the project root and rename it to .env. Add your API_KEY.

4. Run local Postgres containers for the sample and prod databases.

   docker compose up
   

5. Run ebb migrations. This is necessary because all sqlx macro queries are checked at compile time, and that requires access to a database with the correct schema. It is possible to build without this by removing DATABASE_URL from the .env file, in which case sqlx relies on the sqlx-data.json file. However, you probably want to connect to an actual database during development to test your changes.

   cd sample
   sqlx migrate run
   

   cd production
   sqlx migrate run
   

Development

Run a local Postgres container.

docker compose up

Check your changes as you make them.

perseus check -w

Build and view your changes in a browser as you make them.

perseus serve -w

If you want proper syntax highlighting and IDE features for anything annoted with the #[cfg(client)] macro, change "engine" to "client" in .cargo/config.toml. You'll need to change it back if you want it for engine code.

Read about other helpful commands in the Perseus documentation.

Deployment

Connect to the vm.

(if you're on campus/using the vpn)

ssh fedora@IP_ADDRESS

(otherwise use any computer connected to the campus network as a jump relay, the student cs servers are used here)

ssh -J [email protected] fedora@IP_ADDRESS

Run the deploy script

cd ebb
./deploy.sh
