React Admin and Loopback 4 Crud Sample

Getting started

This is a sample with a React Admin and Loopback4 to implement Crud operations on products and users by requesting APIs with LoopBack4 Provider that you can install with npm install react-admin-loopback4-adapted.

Installation

Install node v12.18.3 with nvm

follow the instructions to get node in your local machine sudo apt install curl, curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/master/install.sh | bash, source ~/.profile , nvm install v12.18.3, nvm use v12.18.3.

Install npm

install the node package manager with the command sudo apt install npm, and check the npm version with npm -v.

Setting up mongoDb

install mongoDb from the official website https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu/ and follow the guide to get the final release MongoDB 4.4.

note : if an error occur when you try to open the mongodb console with the command mongo check if the mongod.service is in active state with the command sudo systemctl status mongod.service , you can activate the mongod.service with the command sudo systemctl start mongod.service, if you want to activate mongod.service automatically on startup of ubuntu use the following comands: sudo systemctl enable mongod.service then sudo systemctl start mongod.service.

Setting up mongodb Complass

install mongodb Compass from the official website https://www.mongodb.com/try/download/compass and follow instructions to get it on your local machine.this tool helps you to manage easily your database.

Install the dependencies

After cloning the project with git clone https://github.com/PlanetConectus/LoopBack4ReactAdminExample.git get inside the ecommerce folder in both Frontreactadmin and BackendLoopbackV4 folders and install the node packages with the commande npm install.

Start launching the apps

in this project we tried to reduce complexity for you to get both the frontend server and the backend server in the same local machine to do this we force the binding port for the Loopback4 server to 3001 in the LoopBack4ReactAdminExample/BackendLoopbackV4/ecommerce/src/index.ts file, this is because you cant bind two processes to the same [IP:PORT] in our case the binding IP is 127.0.0.1 it's known as localhost , this modification will prevent CORS blocks by you navigator,to solve this problem we use the integrated node proxy by adding this line "proxy": "http://localhost:3001" in the LoopBack4ReactAdminExample/Frontreactadmin/ecommerce/package.json

note in this sample the authentication is not integrated we will complete it's logic in the next tutorial
