My Thai Star

develop:

This repository is an iCSD Capgemini initiative that hosts an application reference called My Thai Star. This application is about the management of a restaurant.

Technologies

This project is intended to be an example for the usage of new technologies in web development. Here is a list of all technologies involved:

• Angular

Client-side developed using the latest version of this framework: Angular 6.

• Java

Server-side developed using the 2.3 version of oasp4j.

• NodeJS

Server-side developed using the basics of the Express framework. Progressively updated to use oasp4fn.

• .NET

Server-side developed using the dotnet framework.

• Swagger

Used this technology to define contracts between client-side(s) and server-side(s). So necessary when every back-end of the project (.NET, NodeJS and Java) is prepared to match with the Angular client exactly in the same way, being transparent to the user.

• Production Line

Tool used for Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery. Inside of this Jenkins and SonarQube are used. Also used Docker for the deployment in an external server.

• GraphQL

GraphQL is a query language for your API, and a server-side runtime for executing queries by using a type system defined for data.

Deployment

This application can be easily deployed using Docker and docker-compose.

$ docker-compose up

As both Angular and Java Dockerfile(s) are using multi-stage build, apps are being built in their development environments (node for Angular and maven for Java) and then deployed in nginx and tomcat respectively.

3 Docker containers will be created:

CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                      COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                                        NAMES

The usage of the reverse-proxy only uses 1 port of the Docker host (where this is deployed), the 8080. All internal communication of containers is done using docker alias of services.
