A Starter app for the Dashboard

This is just to demonstrate that it's possible to use laravel to create the api for a react frontend. I would need to do a lot more reading to get that configurations right, but I assume you'd know a lot more about it than I do!

Dependencies

npm
php composer

To run the app

To set up the back end server: The server will start at localhost:8000

cd backend
composer update
php artisan serve

To set up the front end server: The server will start at localhost:3000

cd frontend
npm install
npm run start

I tried to connect the laravel app to a mysql database, but didn't manage to do it.

To run the database: The server will run on port 3306

(will need to set up docker and docker-compose)

cd Dashboard
docker-compose up --build

I can eventually run all this in one process, but I'll need a couple days to figure it out. I'd like to eventually dockerize all of this but I think we'll play it by ear.
