Javascript sample Cloudstate application

Cloudstate Sample Shopping Cart Application

Sample application structure

The sample application consists of two parts:

• A static html frontend
• A stateful entity-based service shopping-cart

Building container images

All the latest container images are available publicly at lightbend-docker-registry.bintray.io/cloudstate-samples. Feel free to build your own images from sources.

Frontend service

The frontend service is a web application written in TypeScript. It compiles into static JavaScript, html and images. This web-app makes grpc-web calls directly to the shopping-cart services to get the data that it needs.

You can use our statically hosted page located here https://static.akkaserverless.com/js-shopping-cart/index.html

This page will ask you for your exposed shopping-cart service hostname. The page then makes grpc-web calls against that hostname.

Alternatively, you can clone the cloudstateio/samples-ui-shoppingcart repository and follow the instructions there to build and deploy to your own hosting provider.

Shopping cart service

You can use the pre-built lightbend-docker-registry.bintray.io/cloudstate-samples/shopping-cart-js:latest container image.

Alternatively, you can build an image from the sources in the shopping-cart directory and push it to your own container image repository.

$ cd shopping-cart
$ docker build -t <username>/shopping-cart .
$ docker push <username>/shopping-cart

Deploying to Akka Serverless

The following steps use akkasls to deploy the application to Akka Serverless.

If you're self-hosting Cloudstate, the instructions for deploying the sample shopping cart application are in the deploy directory

Prerequisites

• Get Your Akka Serverless Account
• Install akkasls

Login to Akka Serverless

$ akkasls auth login

Create a new project

$ akkasls projects new sample-shopping-cart "Shopping Cart Sample"

Wait until you receive an email approving your project!

List projects:

$ akkasls projects list

You should see the project listed:

  NAME                   DESCRIPTION            STATUS   ID
  sample-shopping-cart   Shopping Cart Sample   active   39ad1d96-466a-4d07-b826-b30509bda21b

You can change the current project:

$ akkasls config set project sample-shopping-cart

Deploying the shopping cart service

A pre-built container image of the shopping cart service is provided as lightbend-docker-registry.bintray.io/cloudstate-samples/shopping-cart-js. If you have built your own container image, change the image in the following command to point to the one that you just pushed.

$ akkasls svc deploy \
    shopping-cart \
    lightbend-docker-registry.bintray.io/cloudstate-samples/shopping-cart-js

Wait for the shopping cart service STATUS to be ready.

$ akkasls svc get

Expose the shopping-cart service

$ akkasls svc expose shopping-cart --enable-cors

The output will look like this:

Service 'shopping-cart' was successfully exposed at: small-fire-5330.us-east1.apps.lbcs.io

Make a note of the hostname since it will be used by the frontend static html page.

Visit the shopping-cart web frontend

Open a browser and go to the following url: https://static.akkaserverless.com/js-shopping-cart/index.html

Once the page has loaded your will see a dialog prompting you to enter the hostname for your exposed (and CORS enabled) shopping-cart service.

In the example above, the hostname would be:

small-fire-5330.us-east1.apps.lbcs.io
