For Developers

To test the app locally

The README.txt of the backend and frontend repo shows the instruction to run the app.

Database Creation

The queries for creating tables are located in the file /backend/database/createtables.sql. The backend app will execute that sql file which creates the tables for the SQL database.

Database Population

Using Google Cloud Shell and MySQL, the commands in /backend/database/sql/sampledataset.sql are executed manually.

How the Web app receives data from the SQL database

The backend grabs the data from SQL database in gcp (via sqlalchemy) and sends that data to the web app whenever the webapp executes a GET request to the backend API (on /courses route). The App can also send data to the backend using POST requests that will be used to update the table such as for adding a new user to AppUser

To Populate all data into local database:

python3 ./database/scripts/populate_tables.py -u yourUsername -p yourPassword
