Stock-Profit-Calculator

A full-stack application that finds the best profit comparing stock prices in a given timespan

Installation steps

The app has been dockerized and uses a docker-compose.yml file, in order to setup the app do the following steps:

1. Init the repository
2. Run docker-compose build to build the images
3. Run docker-compose up to spin up the containers
4. In a separate terminal run docker exec backend_container yarn seed-database to populate the mongoDB database with stock prices
5. Open http://localhost:5173/ to inspect the React website

The database seeding script uses the environment variables defined in the docker-compose.yml file to generate realistic looking stock prices in the specified timespan.

Docker images use local files as volumes, which allows the developer to change files locally and have the containers update their files as well.

In order to run the backend tests you must run docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.test.yml run backend yarn test
