# CLProject Development Environment

This workspace now contains a containerized local development setup based on Node.js, MariaDB, phpMyAdmin, Docker Compose, and VS Code Dev Containers.

## Services

- `app`: Node.js development container built from `bitnami/node`
- `db`: MariaDB container built from `bitnami/mariadb`
- `phpmyadmin`: phpMyAdmin container for database inspection

## Open In VS Code

1. Open this workspace in VS Code.
2. Run `Dev Containers: Reopen in Container`.
3. Wait for the `app` service to install dependencies and start the server.

The mounted workspace remains editable from VS Code while running inside the container.

## Ports

- App: `http://localhost:3000`
- phpMyAdmin: `http://localhost:8080`
- MariaDB: `localhost:3306`

## Validate The Environment

After the containers are up, run:

```bash
npm run test:environment
```

The test checks that:

- the Node.js app is reachable
- the app can talk to MariaDB
- the seed table was created successfully

## Database Login

- Server: `db`
- Database: `app_db`
- User: `app_user`
- Password: `app_password`

Root password is configured in `.env` for local development.
