swyxio / base-fcc

a quick start fullstack boilerplate for FCC projects done in Meteor + React.

IMPORTANT: Meteorchef deprecated Base in June 2017 and so this should also be deprecated. Instead please go directly to their new project, Pup, run by their new organization Clever Beagle. This is a GOOD thing.

Base + FCC

A starting point for building FreeCodeCamp projects with Meteor. Because Meteor is awesome and is a perfect fit for FCC-size projects. Forked from gstephen's MeteorChef/Base Restricted Access Branch at v4.10.0

Base+FCC Version	v1.0.2
Base Version	v4.10.0
Meteor Version	v1.4.2.3

Read the MeteorChef/Base Documentation Read the Meteor+React Tutorial

This code is published on github at https://github.com/sw-yx/base-fcc and a sample is hosted on heroku at https://base-fcc.herokuapp.com/

(Old) Features I took from gstephen's Branch

This extension to Meteor Base adds an ownerId field to the Documents collection and restricts document access to the owner. It also adds fields to the document to track create & modify date.

(New) Features Added in This Fork

• Twitter login
• Unauthenticated view of all documents (without Editing ability although the API may be hackable)
• My Documents page

1. git clone https://github.com/sw-yx/base-fcc.git base-fcc (replace "base-fcc" with whatever name you want)
2. cd base-fcc and then meteor npm install
3. meteor npm start

Tips for Deploying to Heroku

Just check this out :) https://medium.com/@leonardykris/how-to-run-a-meteor-js-application-on-heroku-in-10-steps-7aceb12de234#.nmyq8xpf7 except note that the buildpack he recommends is old and you should use https://github.com/AdmitHub/meteor-buildpack-horse also you should grep a slightly different mongodb uri heroku config | grep MONGODB_URI
