This is a simple code snippet sharing web application, similar to pastebin, made with Drogon C++ Framework. It's completely anonymous, though I'm planning on bringing here some convenient authentication.

• Prerequisites
• Cloning the Repository
• Building the Project
• Database Setup
• Configuration
• Running the Application

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed:

• C++ Compiler: A C++20 compatible compiler.
• CMake: Version 3.10 or higher.
• PostgreSQL: A running PostgreSQL server.
• Drogon: The Drogon C++ web framework. Shipped as a submodule.
• jwt-cpp: The JWT (JSON Web Tokens) library for C++. Shipped as a submodule.
• libpq-dev: The PostgreSQL client library development headers.
• uuid-dev: The UUID library development headers.

1. Open your terminal and navigate to the directory where you want to clone the project.

2. Run the following command:

   git clone --recursive --depth=1 --shallow-submodules https://github.com/1Kuso4ek1/PBin-cpp.git
   cd PBin-cpp

   Note: The --depth=1 --shallow-submodules flags are used for faster cloning. If you need to work with the Drogon submodule directly (e.g., switch branches), you might need to clone without these flags.

1. Create a build directory:

   mkdir build
   cd build

2. Configure the project using CMake:

   cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

3. Build the project:

   make -j$(nproc)

1. Create a Database:

   • Connect to your PostgreSQL server using psql or a GUI tool like pgAdmin.
   • Create a new user and database.
   • For example:

     CREATE USER your_db_user WITH PASSWORD 'your_db_password';
     CREATE DATABASE pbin WITH OWNER your_db_user;
     GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE pbin TO your_db_user;

     • Replace your_db_user, your_db_password, and pbin with your desired username, password, and database name.

2. Create tables:

   • You need to create tables in a database.
   • In the sql folder you can find create_tables.sql file, which contains all the necessary queries.
   • Connect to your database using psql or pgAdmin:

     psql -U your_db_user -d pbin

   • Run the create_tables.sql file:

     \i /path/to/this/project/sql/create_tables.sql

     • Replace /path/to/this/project/sql/create_tables.sql with the actual path to the file.

There's a config/config-template.json file, which you should use as a template for your configuration. You can either make changes to this file directly, or copy/rename/move it. Either way, you need to fill in your database credentials, server port, and other settings.

1. Navigate to the build directory:

   cd build

2. Run the executable:

   ./backend

   This will start the Drogon web server.

3. If you moved the default config/config-template.json file, you can provide a path to your config file as an argument:

   ./backend /path/to/your/config.json
