Understanding metasfresh Code: An Analogy
metasfresh is built on a 3-tier architecture, similar to a restaurant setup:
- Front-end: This is the dining area where customers (users) interact and place their orders. Here, you will find the user interface developed in HTML5, ReactJS, and Redux, making interactions smooth and appealing.
- Middle-tier: This acts like the kitchen, preparing the dishes (data transactions) and making sure the right orders are delivered efficiently. The Rest API acts as the bridge between the front-end and the back-end, ensuring communication flows seamlessly.
- Back-end: This is the pantry where all ingredients (data) are stored securely. The robustness of a well-structured database ensures that the recipe (data retrieval and storage) is followed correctly.
Troubleshooting Tips
If you run into any bumps along the way while setting up or using metasfresh, here are some troubleshooting ideas:
- Ensure that your Docker or Ubuntu installation has been completed successfully.
