Web Engineering Coding Playground Template

This repository is designed as the foundation for coding playgrounds in the Web Engineering course. It offers a structured space for experimenting with and mastering various web development technologies and practices. The project is based on this repository from MDN.

The project introduces a lot of code smells for you to tackle. Lets get coding!

Submission Details and Deadlines

  • Coding playgrounds are individual work
  • There will be 2 serparate submissions:
  • The playgrounds will be guided through in our sessions - still there will be distance work!
  • Use this base template to create your project repository.
  • Each playground is linked in the corresponding course section.
  • You can find the submissions at the bottom of the Moodle course.

Features

  • Wonderful UI-design 😍
  • Loads bear data using Wikipedia API 🐻
    • Original Wikipedia Page can be found here
  • Worst JS coding practices 😰
  • No Build and Dependency Management at all 🔥

Extended Coding Playgrounds

Please create a new independent Repository for these playgrounds and submit a link to it in the Moodle submission. Additionally, provide a description of how to start your frontend and backend services inside the README.md.

Submission

Submit your coding repository link in Moodle. Send me an invitation to your repository if it is set to private:

GitHub: leonardo1710

GitLab: leon.freudenthaler@fh-campuswien.ac.at

5. Migrate to a Frontend Framework (10 pts.)

In this playground you will migrate your application to a frontend framework of your choice.

Tasks:

  • Migrate your application to a frontend framework of your choice (e.g. React, Angular, Vue.js, Svelte,...)
    • All previous features should still work
    • The application still should use build and dependency management
  • Adapt your npm scripts if necessary

Framework of choice: Vue.js

To install the frontend dependencies and start the application, run the following commands:

npm i
npm run dev

6. Integrate a Backend Framework (10 pts.)

In this playground you will use a backend framework of your choice and connect it with an API to your frontend application.

Tasks:

  • (3) Setup a backend framework of your choice
  • (2) Create an API your frontend will be connected to (REST, GraphQL, gRPC, you choose...)
  • (2) Your backend should now request the bear data from presented Wikipedia API
  • (3) Replace the frontend Wikipedia API calls with calls to your backend - the functionality of your frontend should work as before!
  • (Optional): you may want to introduce some sort of caching layer for Wikipedia API requests

Framework of choice: axum (Rust)

To start the backend, make sure you have Rust installed and run the following:

cd backend
cargo run

7. Containerize your application (10 pts.)

Dockerize your frontend and backend applications. It should be possible to start all services in the corresponding mode (development, production) with a single command (e.g. use Docker Compose for this).

Tasks:

  • (6) Create multi-stage Dockerfiles for your applications (depending on your frameworks):
    • The frontend Dockerfile should: 1. run the app in a development environment 2. build the app 3. serve build artefacts over Nginx
    • The backend Dockerfile should: 1. run the app in a development environment 2. build the app if there is a build step in your framework (optional) 3. serve the app
  • (4) Create two docker-compose files to orchestrate you applications in development and production mode:
    • Define ports and dependencies
    • Define corresponding stage (development, production)
    • Use environment variables if possible
  • Your application should start with the following commands:
    • Development: docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up --build
    • Production: docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up --build
