It should work just cloning this repo, and running:

docker-compose up

• If the url http://localhost:5173/ seems no working, take a look on terminal logs, you`ll be noticed about --host used by Vite, f.e. http://192.168.33.3:5173

• To fix issue: "unknown host.docker.internal IP", just open /etc/hosts file: sudo nano /etc/hosts . Then add new line: 172.17.0.1 host.docker.internal

...

Real-time Delivery Service Using MongoDB Change Streams

The project demonstrates the use of MongoDB Change Streams in a real-time location tracking application. The application is a local package delivery service similar to Uber.

Project Description

The Real-time Delivery Service application allows customers to track their package deliveries in real-time. The application utilizes MongoDB Change Streams to listen for document updates like location and shipment status and uses Socket.io to broadcast them to the connected clients.

How to Run the Application

• Clone the repository to your local machine.
• Create a .env file in the root of the project.
• Add the MONGODB_CONNECTION_STRING
• You can easily generate the connection from MongoDB Atlas UI (incase of local instance check this link)
• Run npm install in the root folder to install the required dependencies for the server.
• Run npm run dev in the root folder to start the server.
• Open a new terminal and navigate to the /frontend folder.
• Run npm install to install the required dependencies for the frontend.
• Run npm run dev to start the React application.
• The server will be running on http://localhost:5050 and the frontend will be running on http://localhost:5173/

How to Test the Application

• Make sure you have the application running on your local machine as described in the "How to Run the Application" section above.
• For testing purposes, a user and a driver account have been seeded in the database.
• Open the frontend of the application in one browser window and choose to login as a user.
• In another separate browser window, open the frontend and choose to login as a driver.
• In the user window, create a new shipment and choose the pickup and delivery locations.
• The driver should receive a notification of the new shipment and be able to accept it.
• You can then track the shipment in real-time using the location updates provided by MongoDB Change Streams and broadcasted via Socket.io.
