Requirements

This sample application, no matter which API project you target, will requires the following to be installed/enabled on your machine:

Introduction to MariaDB

MariaDB Platform

MariaDB Platform integrates the former MariaDB TX (transactions) and MariaDB AX (analytics) products so developers can build modern applications by enriching transactions with real-time analytics and historical data, creating insightful experiences and compelling opportunities for customers – and for businesses, endless ways to monetize data. It’s the only enterprise open source database built for modern applications running in the cloud.

To download and deploy MariaDB check out the instructions here. You can also make use of the MariaDB image available on Docker Hub.

MariaDB SkySQL

SkySQL is the first and only database-as-a-service (DBaaS) to bring the full power of MariaDB Platform to the cloud, including its support for transactional, analytical and hybrid workloads. Built on Kubernetes, and optimized for cloud infrastructure and services, SkySQL combines ease of use and self-service with enterprise reliability and world-class support – everything needed to safely run mission-critical databases in the cloud, and with enterprise governance.

Get started with SkySQL!

Get started

In order to run the Orders application you will need to have a MariaDB instance to connect to. For more information please check out "Get Started with MariaDB".

Get the code

Download this code directly or use git (through CLI or a client) to retrieve the code using git clone:

$ git clone https://github.com/mariadb-corporation/dev-example-orders.git

Create the schema

Connect to the database and execute the following:

$ mariadb --host host_address --port #### --user user_name -p**** < schema/create.sql

or executing the SQL within (create.sql)(schema/create.sql) directly

CREATE DATABASE orders;

CREATE TABLE orders.orders (
  description varchar(25) 
) ENGINE=InnoDB;

Anatomy of the app

This application is made of two parts:

  • Client
    • communicates with the API.
    • is a React.js project located in the client folder.
  • API
    • uses a MariaDB Connector to connect to MariaDB.
    • contains multiple projects, located in the api folder.

See the README's in client and api for more information on how to get started!

Build and run the app

  1. Navigate to the client folder and execute the following CLI command to install the package dependencies for the React.js application.
$ npm install

  1. Pick an API project and follow the instructions of the README to build and run the API project.

  2. Navigate to the client folder and execute the following CLI command to start the React.js application.

$ npm start
