Notes App With NEVM Stack

A simple, challenge-driven project for recording text-based notes utilizing the NEVM Stack. This application serves as a practical exercise to explore the capabilities of Vue.js and enhance Node.js backend skills.

🛠️ Technologies Used

This project is built using the NEVM Stack (Node, Express.js, Vue.js and Mongodb) components, along with modern web technologies

🚀 Getting Started

Follow these steps to get the application up and running on your local machine using Docker.

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following installed:

• Docker
• Docker Compose

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/ernestoyoofi/notes-app.nevmstack.git
   cd notes-app.nevmstack

2. Build the Docker image:

   This command tags the built image for easy management.

   docker build -t ernestoyoofi/notes-app.nevmstack .

   Or using image on Docker Hub

   docker pull ernestoyoofi/notes-app.nevmstack:latest
   

3. Configure Environment:

   Open the docker-compose.yml file and adjust any necessary environment variables for the NEVM connection (e.g., API keys, port mappings, etc.).

   nano docker-compose.yml 
   # Or your preferred text editor

   version: "3.8"
   services:
     database:
       image: mongodb/mongodb-community-server:8.2-ubi9
       container_name: notes-app-nevmstack-mongodb
       restart: always
       environment:
         - "MONGODB_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME=notes-appnevimstack" # PLEASE CHANGE
         - "MONGODB_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD=notes-appnevimstack" # PLEASE CHANGE
       volumes:
         - notes-app-nevmstack-mongodb:/data/db
       networks:
         - notes-app-nevmstack
   
     app:
       image: ernestoyoofi/notes-app.nevmstack:latest
       restart: always
       ports:
         # Exposes Port
         - 3002:80
       environment:
         # Database (FOLLOWING STACK)
         - "MONGODB_URI=mongodb://notes-appnevimstack:notes-appnevimstack@database:27017/nevmstack-notes-app?authSource=admin" # PLEASE CHANGE
         # Server (REQUIRE)
         - "JSONWEBTOKEN_SECRET_KEY=TOKENTOKENTOKEN!!!" # PLEASE CHANGE
         # Google OAuth (REQUIRED)

   volumes:
     notes-app-nevmstack-mongodb:
   
   networks:
     notes-app-nevmstack:

4. Run the application with Docker Compose:

   The -d flag runs the containers in detached (background) mode.

   docker compose up -d

5. Access the application:

   Open your web browser and navigate to the specified URL (usually http://localhost:[PORT], check your docker-compose.yml for the port).

🎯 Project Goals

This project was developed primarily as a personal challenge and a learning opportunity to:

• Deeply understand and integrate with the NEVM Stack.
• Improve proficiency in building single-page applications with Vue.js.
• Refine backend development skills using Node.js/Express.
