Usage

Some usage instructions

Requirements

• Node 6.9.x
• Redis 3.2.x
• Postgresql 9.6.x
• etc

Development

Installing System Dependencies

brew install yarn
brew install redis
brew install postgresql

Yarn is a replacement for npm. It's faster and guarantees consistency -- as you deploy your code in various environments, you won't run the risk of slight variations in what gets installed.

-- output from redis install below -- To have launchd start redis now and restart at login: brew services start redis Or, if you don't want/need a background service you can just run: redis-server /usr/local/etc/redis.conf

-- output from postgresql install below -- To have launched start postgresql now and restart at login: brew services start postgresql Or, if you don't want/need a background service you can just run: pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres start

Install Project Dependencies

yarn global add grunt-cli knex eslint
yarn install

App Configuration

Override settings config/default.json in any environment by making a copy of config/ENV.example.json and naming it config/ENV.json and setting the appropriate variable.

For environments that require use of environment variables, you can supply variables as defined in config/custom-environment-variables.json.

See https://www.npmjs.com/package/config And https://github.com/lorenwest/node-config/wiki/Environment-Variables#custom-environment-variables

If you are using Atom and don't see these new files, follow instructions here: http://blog.lukebennett.com/2015/09/21/show-hidden-files-in-atom-sidebar/

If you have any CRLF and LF errors due to a mix between Mac and Windows contributors, run git config core.autocrlf false

Database Initialization

IMPORTANT: ensure postgres is running before performing these steps with below command:

brew services start postgresql

See DB_DOCUMENTATION.md for more explanation of the DB setup

Database User Setup

##Postgres

1. Open the postgresql command prompt with psql postgres
2. Create a project specific user with this command: create role raiders with login password 'theLostApp' createdb;
3. This user / password is the same as found in the config/default.json file
4. Confirm user was created with this command: \du
5. Exit the prompt with \q

Other helpful postgres command lines: \l - list databases \c <database> - connect to a database \dt - list tables in a connected database \d <table> - list columns on a table

##MongoDB

1. run from a command shell to start the db mongod
2. some helpful mongo command lines: mongo - start the command shell use fetcher - to switch to our project db there is only one collection - movies db.movies.find() - to see the content of the movies db

Database Creation:

Use grunt to create a new database for your development and test environments:

Development environment: grunt pgcreatedb:default

Other environments, specify like so: NODE_ENV=test grunt pgcreatedb:default

Test environment: NODE_ENV=test grunt pgcreatedb:default Production environment: NODE_ENV=production grunt pgcreatedb:default

Run Migrations & Data Seeds

In terminal, from the root directory:

To migrate to the latest version, run: sh knex migrate:latest --env NODE_ENV

To rollback a version, run:

knex migrate:rollback --env NODE_ENV

To create a new migration after altering schema, run:

knex migrate:make [migration name]

Use a descriptive migration name.

To populate the database with seed data, run:

knex seed:run --env NODE_ENV

Note: --env NODE_ENV may be omitted for development. For example, knex migrate:latest will run all migrations in the development environment, while knex migrate:latest --env test will migrate in the test environment.

Running the App

To run webpack build: yarn run build

To run server: yarn run start

To run tests: yarn run test

To run your redis server for the session store redis-server

Deploy to heroku

Your master will auto deploy so if you want to deploy from your branch, follow this command:

git push heroku <nameofbranch>:master

Install Heroku Addons for Heroku Postgres, Heroku Redis, and mLab MongoDB

Heroku Postgres - populate the schema by following instructions for Import https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-postgres-import-export You can use DropBox to host the saved dump Original schema load: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ke8bwdlo9dwzjkj/thesis_devel.dump?dl=0 also saved in thesis_devel.dump

Heroku Redis - promote the redis store to the app heroku redis:promote <redisStoreName -a <appName>

Update Heroku Config variables and change all callback urls to match the stage
