(I am now *mirroring* to github from my private gitea, because mircrosoft is evil.)

# MERN-template

A website template using the MERN stack. It is geared towards Persistent Browser Based Games (think neopets), but is flexible enough for a number of different uses.

The primary technology involved is:

* React
* Nodejs
* MariaDB (with Sequelize)
* Docker (with docker compose)

This template is designed to support the development of persistent browser based games (PBBGs), but it, and it's component microservices, can be used elsewhere.

This template is released under the zlib license (see LICENSE).

See the [github wiki](https://github.com/krgamestudios/MERN-template/wiki) for full documentation.

# Microservices

There are external components to this template referred to as "microservices". These can be omitted entirely by simply removing the React components that access them. These are also available via [docker hub](https://hub.docker.com/u/krgamestudios).

* News Server: https://github.com/krgamestudios/news-server
* Auth Server: https://github.com/krgamestudios/auth-server
* Chat Server: https://github.com/krgamestudios/chat-server

# Setup Deployment

A clean install is this easy:

```
git clone https://github.com/krgamestudios/MERN-template.git
cd MERN-template
node configure-script.js
docker compose up --build
```

# Setup Development

To set up this template in development mode:

1. Ensure mariadb is running in your development environment
2. Run `mariadb tools/create_database.sql` as the root user
3. Run `npm install`
4. Run `cp .envdev .env` and enter your details into the `.env` file
5. Execute `npm run dev`
6. Navigate to `http://localhost:3001` in your web browser
7. Repeat this process for each microservice (linked above)
