How to run (Docker)

First run /scripts/build_and_tag.bash.

Afterwards run /scripts/run_docker.bash.

Then go to localhost:9090 in your browser.

Why I used what I did

Golang

Fast and simple to use. Lots of stuff for web services is already implemented.

React

Saving on development time is important. I could write a bunch of vanilla JS to do a bunch of DOM manipulation, but someone has made an easy to use version for me. It made a lot of the more complex stuff I wanted to do easier.

Axios

Axios is an easy library for making requests, and removes a lot of boilerplate I've had to write in other projects

Webpack

I've used it before and so learning it again would take less time.

Features that may be less apparent

• You can link to specific pages on the table.
• You can link to specific reports.

How to run (Dev)

Set the BASE_APP_DIR to the repos directory (Or change the default value in appconfig)

Run npm install in /frontend

Run npm run dev in /frontend

Run go run server.go in /backend/src

Then go to localhost:9090 in your browser.

If you want more files, you can change count -eq 100 to not 100 in download_ebooks.bash. Just make sure to run it in the /storage/unprocessed_files directory.
