Essential Tools

Visual Studio Code (VSCode)

1. Visual Studio Code (VSCode)

What It Is: VSCode is a powerful, open-source code editor developed by Microsoft for Windows, Linux, and macOS. It features built-in support for JavaScript, TypeScript, and Node.js, with a rich ecosystem of extensions for other languages (such as C++, C#, Java, Python, PHP, Go) and runtimes.

Why You Need It: For editing code, managing Git repositories, and integrating with various development tools directly within the editor.

How to Install:

2. Run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

2. Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)

What It Is: WSL allows Windows users to run a GNU/Linux environment directly on Windows, unmodified, without the overhead of a traditional virtual machine or dual-boot setup.

Why You Need It:  For running Linux-based applications and toolchains, including Terraform and AWS CLI, directly within Windows.

How to Install:

wsl --install
wsl --list --online
wsl --install <DistributionName>

Development and Deployment Tools

1. Git

Git is usually available in your Linux distribution's package manager. Install it by running:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git

This updates your package lists and installs Git.

Configure your Git installation with your username and email:

git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "youremail@example.com"

Git Official Website: For more details or alternative installation methods, visit Git's official site.

2. Node.js

Before starting with XMOPS Accelerate, you'll need to install several key tools. Here are the detailed steps for installing Node.js, Terraform, Git, and AWS CLI on a Linux-based system, including explanations of what each command does:

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.1/install.sh | bash

This command fetches the install script from nvm's GitHub page and executes it. The script clones the nvm repository to ~/.nvm and adds the script to your shell profile so nvm is available when you open a new terminal. After installation, close and reopen your terminal, then install Node.js by running:

nvm install node

This command installs the latest version of Node.js. To install a specific version, replace node with the version number, e.g., nvm install 14.

Node.js Official Website: For alternative installation methods, visit  Node.js's official website.

3. AWS CLI

The AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) is a unified tool to manage your AWS services. With it, you can control multiple AWS services from the command line and automate them through scripts. This guide will take you through the process of installing the AWS CLI on Linux and Windows (via WSL), including initial configuration steps.

Step 1: Downloading the AWS CLI:

curl "https://awscli.amazonaws.com/awscli-exe-linux-x86_64.zip" -o "awscliv2.zip"

Step 2: Unzip the Installer:

sudo apt-get install unzip
unzip awscliv2.zip

Step 3: Running the Installation:

sudo ./aws/install

Step 4: Verification:

aws --version

Step 5: Initial Configuration:

aws configure

4. Terraform

Visit  Terraform's official download page to find the command for downloading the latest version. As of writing this, you can install Terraform by running:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y gnupg software-properties-common curl
curl -fsSL https://apt.releases.hashicorp.com/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-add-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://apt.releases.hashicorp.com $(lsb_release -cs) main"
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install terraform

These commands add the HashiCorp GPG key, add the HashiCorp Linux repository, and install Terraform.

Terraform Official Website: For more information, visit Terraform's official download page.

Setting up the Project

Assuming you have already installed Git, AWS CLI, Terraform, and Node.js as instructed previously, you're well-prepared to initialize and work on the XMOPS Accelerate project, specifically focusing on React setup and AWS Amplify integration. This guide will cover initializing React and configuring AWS Amplify in your existing project setup.

1. Cloning the XMOPS Accelerate Project

1. Launch Visual Studio Code on your machine

2. Access the integrated terminal by using the shortcut Ctrl + Shift + ~. This shortcut brings up a command line interface within VSCode, allowing you to execute Git commands and more without leaving the editor.

3. In the VSCode terminal, navigate to the directory where you want to clone the project using  "cd path/to/directory" . Then, execute the following command to clone the XMOPS Accelerate repository:

git clone https://www.github.com/xmopsaccelerate/xmops.git

Replace "path/to/directory" with the actual path where you want the project to reside on your local machine.

4. Once cloning is complete, open the project in VSCode by selecting File > Open Folder from the top menu and navigating to the cloned project directory. Alternatively, you can use the command code xmops if you're already in the directory where you cloned the repository.

Since the XMOPS Accelerate project is already cloned to your machine, and you've installed all necessary dependencies, including Node.js, we'll focus on ensuring the React environment is correctly set up within this context.

1. Verify Node.js and npm Installation:

Before proceeding, make sure Node.js and npm are correctly installed by running:

node -v
npm -v

These commands should display the versions of Node.js and npm installed on your system, confirming their installation.

2. Navigate to Your Project Directory:

Open your terminal or command line interface and change directory (cd) to your cloned XMOPS Accelerate project folder, where the React application code resides.

3. Install React Dependencies (if not done):

Within your project directory, if you haven't already, run the following command to install all React dependencies listed in your package.json file:

npm install

This step ensures that all required React libraries and other dependencies are downloaded and ready for use in your development environment.

AWS Amplify will enable you to connect your React application to AWS services effortlessly. 

Here's how to initialize AWS Amplify in your project:

1. Install the AWS Amplify CLI:

If you haven't installed the AWS Amplify CLI globally, run:

npm install -g @aws-amplify/cli

This command installs the Amplify CLI globally on your system, allowing you to use it across all your projects.

2. Configure AWS Amplify:

With AWS CLI already installed and configured with your credentials, proceed to configure Amplify by running:

amplify configure

This command opens a web browser asking you to sign in to the AWS Management Console and create an IAM user for Amplify. Follow the guided steps to complete the configuration.

3. Initialize Amplify in Your Project:

Once AWS Amplify CLI is configured, initialize Amplify in your project by running:

amplify init

Answer the questions prompted in the terminal to specify the environment name, default editor, type of app you're building (choose javascript), framework (react), and other configuration options. This process sets up the necessary backend environment for your project in AWS.

4. Add Authentication with Amazon Cognito:

To add a user authentication feature to your React app using Amazon Cognito, execute:

amplify add auth

Choose the default configuration or customize authentication settings as needed. After configuring, deploy the authentication service by running:

amplify push

Follow the prompts to confirm the deployment. This step will create the necessary resources in AWS and configure your project to use Amazon Cognito for authentication.

5.  Integrate Authentication into Your Application:

After deploying the authentication service, Amplify generates configuration files and resources that you can use to integrate authentication into your application.

npm install aws-amplify @aws-amplify/ui-react
import Amplify from 'aws-amplify';
import config from './aws-exports';
Amplify.configure(config);
import { withAuthenticator } from '@aws-amplify/ui-react';

function App() {
  return (
    // Your app content
  );
}

export default withAuthenticator(App);

With React set up and AWS Amplify integrated, you're now ready to run your project:

npm start

This command starts the React development server, typically opening your application in a web browser at http://localhost:3000.

Supercharge your workflow.

// Imports
import mongoose, { Schema } from 'mongoose'

// Collection name
export const collection = 'Product';

// Schema
const schema = new Schema({
  name: {
    type: String,
    required: true
  },
