food-diary

Introduction

food-diary is a web application for tracking calories count for meals eaten daily. It represents an interactive diary, which is able to record notes about products and their quantities and calculate calories for each note (or group of notes) recorded.

Main idea and goal

The diary consists of pages. Each page is associated with some date and contains notes grouped by meal types (breakfast, lunch etc.). Note contains information about product and its quantity. Products are grouped by categories. Each product has name and calories cost per 100 g of product's quantity recorded. Using this information the application is capable of calculating calories count of:

• single note
• notes group (e.g. for specific meal type)
• the entire page.

This information can be extremely useful for people who want to keep track of energy value of meals they eat every day.

Local start

1. Start PostgreSQL database:

   docker run -p 5432:5432 --name postgres \
       -e POSTGRES_USER=postgres \
       -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres \
       -e POSTGRES_DB=FoodDiary \
       -d postgres:15.1-alpine

   Optional: PgAdmin can be started like this:

   docker run -p 5050:80 --name pgadmin -e "[email protected]" -e "PGADMIN_DEFAULT_PASSWORD=postgres" -d dpage/pgadmin4

2. Install .NET SDK 8.0.100 or higher

3. Install Node.js 18.16.0 or higher

4. Install yarn package manager

5. Fill necessary secrets:

   dotnet user-secrets --project src/backend/src/FoodDiary.API set "Auth:AllowedEmails:0" "<your_email>"
   
   dotnet user-secrets --project src/backend/src/FoodDiary.API set "ConnectionStrings:Default" "<your_db_connection_string>"

   Allowed email should be compatible with Google Identity Provider

6. Run migrations:

   dotnet run --project src/backend/src/FoodDiary.Migrator

7. Start backend application:

   dotnet run --project src/backend/src/FoodDiary.API

8. Start frontend application:

   cd src/frontend
   yarn start

9. Navigate to https://localhost:8080

How to run frontend without backend

Go to frontend project directory:

cd src/frontend

Create local env config:

touch env.local

Fill env.local with this values:

VITE_APP_MSW_ENABLED=true
VITE_APP_FAKE_AUTH_ENABLED=true
VITE_APP_FAKE_AUTH_LOGIN_ON_INIT=true

Frontend environment variables

Name	Type	Description
VITE_APP_API_URL	string	Specifies a backend API base URL without a trim slash, e.g. https://localhost:8080
VITE_APP_AUTH_CHECK_INTERVAL	number	Specifies the auth status check interval in milliseconds to ensure that users with expired cookies will not be able to use the application without refreshing the page in the browser. Not used if VITE_APP_FAKE_AUTH_ENABLED is true
VITE_APP_DEMO_MODE_ENABLED	boolean	Enables demo mode. In demo mode, some features related to file system or external integrations are disabled
VITE_APP_FAKE_AUTH_ENABLED	boolean	Setups fake authentication flow without using a backend server and OAuth Identity provider. Used for local development
VITE_APP_FAKE_AUTH_LOGIN_ON_INIT	boolean	Defines whether the user is authenticated by default when using a fake authentication flow. Used for local development
VITE_APP_MSW_ENABLED	boolean	Enables mockServiceWorker to intercept and mock all API requests. Used for testing or local development purposes
VITE_APP_GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_ENABLED	boolean	Enables Google Analytics
VITE_APP_GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_MEASUREMENT_ID	string	Measurement (data stream) ID for Google Analytics
VITE_APP_MOCK_API_RESPONSE_DELAY	number	Sets delay (in milliseconds) before all mock API responses. Not used if VITE_APP_MSW_ENABLED is false

How to generate database migrations

dotnet ef migrations add <migration_name> \
    -s src/backend/src/FoodDiary.API \
    -p src/backend/src/FoodDiary.Infrastructure \
    -o Migrations
