CS3219 Project (PeerPrep) - AY2425S1

Group: G44

Running PeerPrep

Before you run PeerPrep, please check the .env file in the root directory, and modify the IP address/URL and/or ports if necessary. It should look something like this:

# URLs - change these to your local or cloud deployment IP address/URL if necessary
PUBLIC_URL=http://localhost
WS_PUBLIC_URL=ws://localhost

# Port numbers - change these if you are already using these ports for other (non-PeerPrep) services
FRONTEND_PORT=3000
QUESTION_API_PORT=2000
USER_API_PORT=3001
MATCHING_API_PORT=3002
COLLAB_API_PORT=3003

Then, in the root directory, run

docker compose up -d

and access PeerPrep at localhost:3000, or the IP address/URL you set earlier in the .env file

To force a rebuild of the images, run docker compose up -d --build

Developing

If you are developing PeerPrep, you can use Compose Watch to automatically update and preview code changes:

docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up --watch --build

API Endpoints

Question Service

The question microservice exposes the following API endpoints:

  • questions/all - Returns all the questions available on the database.
  • questions/byId/[Question ID] - Returns a single question by ID number.
  • questions/maxQuestionId - Returns the highest question ID currently being stored in the database. (Can be used for adding new Questions).
  • filter/q/?categories=Arrays,Bit%20Manipulation&complexities=Easy,Medium&keywords=algebra,geometry - Returns all questions that have Arrays AND/OR Bit Manipulation tags, are either Easy OR Medium, and contain the keywords "algebra" or "geometry".
  • questions/add - Adds a new question to the database.
  • questions/delete/[Question ID] - Deletes a question from the database by ID number.
  • questions/update/[Question ID] - Updates a question from the database by ID number.
  • questions/patch/[Question ID] - Patches a question from the database by ID number.
  • questions/byObjectId/[Question ObjectId] - Returns a single question by its MongoDB ObjectId.
  • questions/batch - Accepts a POST request with a JSON array of ObjectIds and returns multiple questions by their IDs.

Matching Service

The matching microservice exposes the following API endpoint (via a WebSocket connection):

  • / - Persistently opens a connection to the service.

Message Protocol (JSON):

Note: WebSocket only sends strings, so use JSON.stringify() to convert your JS request objects into strings (and JSON.parse() to parse responses) when communicating via WebSocket.

  1. To enqueue a user:
{
  event: "enqueue",
  userId: <ID of the user>,
  questions: [<Array containing question IDs.>]
}

Replies with:

  • On successful match within 30s:
{
  event: "match-success",
  userId: <ID of this user>,
  peerUserId: <ID of the other user>,
  agreedQuestion: <The question that has been agreed upon by both users>
}
  • On timeout after 30s (no match found):
{
   event: "match-timeout",
   userId: <ID of this user>
}
  1. To dequeue a user:
  • Replies with an dequeue-success event.
{
  "event": "dequeue",
  "userId": <ID of this user>,
}

Note:

  • You can choose to develop individual microservices within separate folders within this repository OR use individual repositories (all public) for each microservice.
  • In the latter scenario, you should enable sub-modules on this GitHub classroom repository to manage the development/deployment AND add your mentor to the individual repositories as a collaborator.
  • The teaching team should be given access to the repositories as we may require viewing the history of the repository in case of any disputes or disagreements.
