Important! Please read!

The repository contains the settings.php file with the database credentials. This should NEVER be done with real-life projects.

(Also the sites/default/files directory is under version control. This is probably also not a good idea in non-demo projects)

The backend is built using docker4drupal (Visit project documentation)

You need to have the following dependencies installed:

• docker
• composer
• docker-compose on Linux

1. Go into the ./backend directory:

   $ cd backend

2. Install backend dependencies:

   $ cd htdocs && composer install --ignore-platform-reqs && cd ..

3. Start local development server (You will probably have to wait a minute, because importing the database can take a while. Before this is complete you will see an The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later. error.):

   $ docker-compose up -d

4. Clean the cache

   $ docker-compose exec php drush cr -r /var/www/html/htdocs/web

5. You can access the backend by pointing your browser to http://dc2018-react-backend.docker.localhost/ – The login details are: admin/admin123

6. Point the app to use the local backend by changing the property apiBase in package.json to the above URL.

Persist database changes (will be imported on next docker-compose up -d:

# In ./backend/
$ ./persist-db.sh

$ docker-compose down
