Shipping app

A simple shipping app to add parcels and list them.

This app consists of two apps - backend written on NodeJs + NestJs and frontend written on Angular.

How to run

Using docker compose

This app has docker compose support, so to run it, just execute

cd <project_root>
docker compose up --build

Locally

Open ./backend/src/app.module.ts and change host from database to localhost.

And then:

docker compose up database

cd <project_root>/backend
npm install
npm run start:dev

cd <project_root>/frontend
npm install
ng serve

Running

Then go to http://localhost:8080.

If by some reason you need API - it's running on http://localhost:3000.

Considerations

Before going to production they should be fixed.

• Logging is missed in both apps
• Error handling is very poor
• Only happy path works. If any of the fields are empty on parcel creation the user won't see why (console logs are visible only)
• Validation is done in absolutely wrong way
• Submit on Enter doesn't work
• Overall there are some things that I'd improve in frontend
• Unit tests are missing
• Configuration values and secrets are stored just in code - they should be moved to environment variables and read from there.
