LabTV REST Client

A fork of the original LabTV v1.1.0 made to work in conjunction with LabTV REST Server.

Movie information is no longer retrieved from IMDb-API, but from a local server provided by LabTV REST Server. It still uses json-server + json-server-auth to simulate user authentication and personal database entries for bought and liked movies.

This project was generated with Angular CLI version 13.2.6.

A patch to json-server to enable the --no-delete-cascade flag is included and applied automatically

See the original LabTV README to get more information on the website structure.

Instructions

• Point your terminal to the project root and run npm install to download project dependencies;

json-server will be automatically patched via a post-install script

• Run npm run start:server to start json-server on port 3000;
• Make sure LabTV REST Server is running on http://localhost:8082/labtv-api/;
• Run ng serve --open and let it build the project. Your browser will open and take you to the project page.
• Optional step - only required if you imported the initial version of the database:
  • navigate to /onetime;
  • click on "Send All Movies" and wait for it to finish;
  • click on "Send All Trailers" and wait for it to finish.

Build

Requirements

A build is also provided, but still requires npm to install some dependencies to enable login and database features.

If you don't install npm and/or project dependencies, the only features available will be Most Popular Movies (Home) and Search (Ricerca)

Instructions

• Download the build and extract the archive;
• Open a terminal into the extracted folder and run npm i json-server json-server-auth patch-package (just once);
• Run npx patch-package (just once);
• Run npx json-server --no-delete-cascade --watch db/db.json -m ./node_modules/json-server-auth -r db/routes.json (anytime you want to test the project);
• Make sure LabTV REST Server is running on http://localhost:8082/labtv-api/;
• Run index.html on any local server (like Live Server).
• Optional step - only required if you imported the initial version of the database:
  • navigate to /onetime;
  • click on "Send All Movies" and wait for it to finish;
  • click on "Send All Trailers" and wait for it to finish.
