Project Overview: Galactic Enterprise Cruises API

Introduction

"Galactic Enterprise Cruises" is a futuristic space tourism API designed to offer tiered travel packages to various galactic destinations. This API serves as a gateway to explore the universe, offering tailored travel experiences for different classes of space adventurers. Whether it's a budget-friendly journey to nearby stars or a luxurious voyage to distant galaxies, our API connects users with the wonders of space travel.

Project Structure

The project is divided into two main components:

• Backend:

  Built with Node.js, Express, MySQL, Redis, and Swagger, the backend serves as the core of our application, managing data related to travel packages, bookings, and user interactions.

• Frontend:

  Developed using Astro, the front end provides an interactive user interface where customers can browse travel packages, make bookings, and experience the allure of space tourism.

Features

• Tiered Travel Packages:

  Offers travel options to six different galactic destinations, with access varying by travel class – mainstream, premium, and luxury.

• Astro Frontend:

  A sleek, modern web interface that allows users to explore and book travel packages, providing a seamless user experience.

• Docker Integration:

  Ensures easy setup and deployment, encapsulating the application environment for consistent performance across different systems.

Technical Stack

• Backend: Node.js, Express, MySQL, Redis, Swagger
• Frontend: Astro
• Containerization: Docker with Docker-Compose

Installation and Setup

Detailed setup instructions are provided to get the application running locally using Docker, facilitating a straightforward installation process.

Step 1: Create Environmental Variable files for Backend Environment

---

env/ folder -- with environment variables env/.env.app and env/.env.mysql .env.redis

username, password, and database name will be identical in each file

---

Node Application Environment Variables (.env.app)

Variable	Value
HOST	"0.0.0.0"
DB_NAME	value matches (.app .db)
DB_USER	value matches (.app .db)
DB_PASS	value matches (.app .db)
PORT	3000

Redis Environment Variables (.env.redis)

Variable	Value
REDIS_PORT	6379
REDIS_HOST	redis
REDIS_PASSWORD	secret value

MySQL Database Environment Variables (.env.mysql)

Variable	Value
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD	secret value
MYSQL_DATABASE	value matches (.app .db)
MYSQL_USER	value matches (.app .db)
MYSQL_PASSWORD	value matches (.app .db)
MYSQL_HOST	mysql
MYSQL_PORT	3306

Step 2: Run Docker with the following command

to run the docker-compose with makefile use the command below

make up # first time building and starting
make run # after changes to image or build

Command to run backend terminal interactively

Connect to express API server and routes.

docker exec -it galactic_destinations_backend_1 /bin/bash
npm run dev # this was launched on container start so it should already be available

the server will listen on port 0.0.0.0 to see the output of the API routes Run the server and use 127.0.0.1:3000 in the browser

Command to run frontend terminal interactively

Connect to express API server and routes. run mysql and Redis

docker exec -it galactic_destinations_frontend_1 /bin/bash
npm run dev # this was launched on container start so it should already be available

the server will listen on port 0.0.0.0 to see the output of the API routes Run the server and use 127.0.0.1:4321 in the browser

Command to log the MySQL database

Run on cli

docker exec -it galactic_destinations_mysql_1 /bin/bash
mysql -u username -p

Command to log into the Redis database

docker exec -it galactic_destinations_redis_1 /bin/bash
redis-cli

Command to run Unittest for the backend

cd into the backend folder and run the test suite

npm run test

Usage Users can interact with the API through the frontend interface or directly via API endpoints, allowing for flexible integration with other applications or services.

Purpose This project aims to showcase the potential of modern web technologies in creating scalable and interactive applications, providing a glimpse into the future of space tourism.
