# ThreeTwo!
ThreeTwo! is a comic book curation app.
⚠️ This project is in early stages of development and as such, not ready for general use.
## Dependencies
ThreeTwo! currently is set up as:
1. The UI, this repo.
2. [threetwo-import-service](https://github.com/rishighan/threetwo-import-service)
3. [comicvine-service](https://github.com/rishighan/comicvine-service)
4. [threetwo-ui-typings](https://github.com/rishighan/threetwo-frontend-types) which are the types used across the UI, installable as an `npm` dependency.
## Docker Instructions
The recommended approach is to simply use `docker-compose` which spins up containers for the UI and all the associated microservices and data store.
Make sure that you have `docker` and `docker-compose` installed. Running `docker system prune -a` can help free up some space.
Then:
1. Clone this repo using `git clone https://github.com/rishighan/threetwo.git`
2. Create an external docker network using `docker network create proxy`
3. Run `docker-compose up --build -d` to run the containers in detatched mode
4. For debugging, run `docker-compose up --build`
5. Note that the first time, the process could take up to 10 minutes, since it is building containers for `threetwo`, `threetwo-import-service`, `comicvine-service`, `mongo`, `nats`, `nginx`
6. For posterity, check that all containers are up using `docker ps`
## Local Development
For debugging and troubleshooting, you can run this app locally using these steps:
1. Clone this repo using `git clone https://github.com/rishighan/threetwo.git`
2. `yarn run dev` (you can ignore the warnings)
3. This will open `http://localhost:3050` in your default browser
4. Note that this is simply the UI layer and won't offer anything beyond a scaffold. You have to spin up the microservices locally to get it to work.
## Troubleshooting
### Docker
1. `docker-compose up` is taking a long time
This is primarily because `threetwo-import-service` pulls `calibre` from the CDN and it has been known to be extremely slow. I can't find a more reliable alternative, so give it some time to finish downloading.
2. What folder do my comics go in?
Currently, in the `docker-compose` setup, the `comics` folder at the root of this repo is used to store comics.
