mongodb-express-redux-mithril-universal-start

Project

This project is to provide a new project starter using MongoDB, Expressjs, Reduxjs and Mithriljs.
This project is also to demonstrate the server-side rendering ( aka universal ) of Single Page Application using mithril.
Client and Server folder structures are kept as same for easy development and maintenance.
Each related files contains in each folder for easy maintenance and future expansion.
Site folder is separately provided for customization and easy upgrade of this project.
This project is forked from mithril-quickstart by konsumer

MongoDB, Expressjs, Reduxjs, Mithriljs
Universal ( Server-side rendering )
Quick & easy to get started
Mithril is easy to learn and use. Faster to load & render than react. It's clean & small, and does it's job well.
Express middleware efficiently handles building CSS & javascript, so no grunt/gulp!
Comment widgets/animations you don't need from bootstrap and animation.less
Easily themable using bootswatch
Slick & efficient JWT+bcrypt+mongodb authentication
User Email verification when registered.
Userid is used to login instead of email.
Browser-sync and nodemon are used for live reloading the browser in development.
Blog and User administration are included.
Pages are cached automatically by Redux.
ES5 is used. ( No ES6 and ES7, hence no need of Babel )
Browserify and LessMiddleware are used for client-side processing.
Server-side rendering is done by mithril-node-render ( StephanHoyer, mithril-node-render ).
Markdown format can be used for Blog.

Unit test uses Mocha and Expect.
E2e test uses selenium-standalone server and WebDriverIO.

( !! important: WebDriverIO 3.3.0 version should be used. WebDriverIO 4 does not do test correctly.)
WebDriverIO API is here
For unit test,
1. Run the following command. ( There is no need to run the application. )
  
  npm run testspec
For e2e test, follow the 3 steps.
1. Run the selenium-standalone server
  
  npm run testselenium
2. Run the application in test mode
  
  npm run testserver
3. Run the e2e test
  
  npm run teste2e
To run unit test and e2e test together
```
 `npm test`
```

Site folder is for the customization and configuration. Change the variables as you wish.
Or Use .env to set environment variables. Here are some good ones:

MONGO_URI=mongodb://localhost/myfarkensweetapp
TOKEN_SECRET=kittyonth4keyb04rdME0W!ksjdhfwpeoir
PORT=3000

site/config/environment has config.useWebpack option. Default is using browserify. To use webpack, uncomment this.

If true, webpack is used. You should run npm run build to build using webpack

If false, browserify is used instead. You don't need to run npm run build

Open style/bootstap.less. Change the theme name 'paper' to others.

check if the style is not commented out in style/bootstrap.less. If so, remove the comment line of the style you want to use.
