A dating app wherein you get matched by people that woke up as the same time as you.

WakieWakie

A dating app that aims to match people nearby based on the time they wake up. The goal of this app is to foster a much deeper connection between matches, and increase the time surface that they can interact by matching them by their sleep schedules.

Setup

Prerequisites

• Yarn This is the package manager used in this project, additionally the workspaces feature is used extensively in this project, so this becomes a must.
• PostgreSQL This is used as the database.
• Redis (Optional) This is only used if you intend to try out using Redis for the session storage. But why?

1. Clone this repository.
2. Go into the directory using cd WakieWakie.
3. Install the necessary dependencies using yarn.
4. Create an empty database in PostgreSQL. This will be used later on for migrations, make sure to use the name of this database for the server/.env config.
5. Configure the necessary environment variables on your local machine, check the ENV section. At a minimum, you only need to configure the following environment variables in server/.env to be able to run the application locally.

# Database Configurations
DB_USERNAME = postgres          # Database Username for Postgres (default: "postgres")
DB_PASSWORD = postgres          # Password for Postgres          (default: "")
DB_HOSTNAME = localhost         # Hostname for Postgres          (default: "localhost")
DB_DATABASE = wakiewakie        # Database name for Postgres
DB_PORT     = 5432              # Postgres running port          (default: 5432)

6. Run the migrations on the database using yarn db:migrate.
7. Run the app locally using yarn dev.

   This runs the client at http://localhost:5173, and the server at http://localhost:4000.

8. Open the web app on your desired browser using the URL above.

   If you want to test out the server via the Apollo GraphQL Explorer, you can head over to http://localhost:4000/graphql. Make sure to enable the cookies setting.

ENV

These are the available environment variables that are configurable for this application. You can check the .env.example file on each directory for a quick breakdown of the environment variables.

Note: All values are inferred as strings, and are parsed appropriately in the application. For example Port is a string value of 4000, it is parsed to its number counterpart in the application.

Variables for server/.env

Field	Values	Required	Default	Description
DB_USERNAME	string	✅	postgres	Database Username for PostgreSQL
DB_PASSWORD	string	✅		Password for PostgreSQL
DB_HOSTNAME	string	✅	localhost	Hostname for PostgreSQL
DB_DATABASE	string	✅		Database name for PostgreSQL
DB_PORT	number	✅	5432	Postgres running port
PORT	number		4000	Port number
NODE_ENV	development, test, production		development	Running environment of the server
REDIS_CONNECTION	string		Defaults to using MemoryStore if not set instead of RedisStore	Connection string to a Redis instance
CORS_ORIGIN	string		http://localhost:4000, http://localhost:5173	A list of URLs (separated by a space) that are allowed through CORS
SESSION_SECRET	string		This is a secret in localhost.	The secret used for signing sessions

At most REDIS_CONNECTION, CORS_ORIGIN, and SESSION_SECRET will only be used for deployment.

Variables for client/.env

Field	Values	Required	Default	Description
NODE_ENV	development, test, production		development	Running environment of the server
VITE_GRAPHQL_ENDPOINT	string		http://localhost:4000/graphql	The endpoint for GraphQL queries
VITE_GRAPHQL_WS_ENDPOINT	string		ws://localhost:4000/graphql	The endpoint for GraphQL subscription queries

Deployment

This application has been deployed over at Vercel. However, do note that Real-Time Communication and Notifications do not work on the deployed application. This is due to the limitations of Vercel, wherein they do not support their Serverless Functions to act like a WebSocket Server. This means that you can only test out those functions by refreshing the page forcibly.
