## :books: General info

* Cable pulling database idea inspired by time spent pulling electrical cables on an LNG plant in Northern Norway for Statoil. It is required to complete a cable database with details of cable, cable drum, amount of cable pulled and installed etc.
* Axios used to send/receive data from the MongoDB backend
* Backend node.js code separated into routes file with a Mongoose model Cable schema.
* Latest Mongoose v6 connection config. used (as of oct. 2021) with no deprecation warnings. Note an old config. will stop any Mongoose-based app from working.
* [Vue 4 RouteRecordRaw](https://next.router.vuejs.org/api/#routerecordraw) route record provided by user

* [rimraf](https://www.npmjs.com/package/rimraf) the UNIX command rm -rf for node.

## :floppy_disk: Setup

**Dev Backend:**

* `cd server` to change directory
* `npm i` to install dependencies
* add MongoDB access
* Run `npm run dev` to run node.js server.
* Navigate to `http://localhost:3000/api/cables` to see JSON object with cable list or an empty array if no cables (refresh after changes - does not auto-update).
* CRUD operations can be performed on this backend using the [Postman](https://www.postman.com/) API dev tool or the [Thunder Client VS Code Extension](https://www.thunderclient.io/).

**Dev Frontend:**

* `npm i` to install dependencies
* `npm run lint` to lint files
* `npm run client` to run client dev server
* Navigate to `http://localhost:8080/`. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.

**Build Full Stack:**

* `npm run build` to create build file for both front & back ends
* Navigate to `http://localhost:8080/` to see frontend and `http://localhost:3000/` to see backend (refresh after changes - does not auto-update).
* Heroku `heroku login` to login, `git add .` then `git commit -m "commit message..."` then `git push heroku master` to deploy to Heroku

## :computer: Code Examples

* 'cable.controller.ts' function to update cable by id

```typescript
export const updateCableHandler = async (
req: Request,
res: Response
): Promise>> => {
try {
const updatedCable = await Cable.findByIdAndUpdate(
req.params.id,
req.body,
{
new: true,
}
);
if (!updatedCable) {
return res.status(404).json({
message: "Cable to be updated was not found",
});
}
return res.json(updatedCable);
} catch (error) {
return res.status(500).send(error);
}
};
```

## :cool: Features

* Data successfully stored on MongoDB Atlas database

## :clipboard: Status & To-Do List

* Status: Working full-stack CRUD app with MongoDB Atlas database
* To-Do: Replace any data types, separate controller functions from routes, add date field
* To-Do: fix navbar burger button, styling, add cable fields, add drop down menu for cable drum selection etc.
