Project Lead: Chris Puskar
Scrum Master: Chris Nixon
Developers: Sujay Patel, Arthur Mathies, Molly Lloyd

Summary

Gameplan is a quick, easy way to find sports sites near you. After automatically locating your position or entering a custom address in the auto-fill search box, you can select from a variety of sports and view the sites closest to you. Click each site or marker to view more information about the site, and checkin to the site as well. Login via Facebook to store your favorite sports, sites, and checkins. And the site is fully functional on mobile as well!

Local Deployment

Checkout project from github: https://github.com/gameplan-app/gameplan

Build site locally:

npm install
bower install
grunt build
grunt shell [opens app in chrome, and watches for updated files]

Setup Google Maps and Facebook APIs

In google developers console, under API and auth, select Credentials. In the list of apps, select the app name. Under Accept requests from these HTTP referrers, add your development URI (http://localhost:8000) and deployment URI.

In [https://developers.facebook.com](facebook developers dashboard), under My Apps, select the app name. Under Basic, the App Id and App Secret must match what's in router.js. Next, click Settings and then Advanced. Under Valid OAuth redirect URIs, add your development and deployment URIs.

Database

The database is hosted on mongolab. The DB connection is made in server.js, and the schema for 'users' and 'sites' is in server/models.

Deployment to Digital Ocean

On digital ocean, create doplet using Dokku image (Dokku v0.4.3 on 14.04).
SSH into d.o. server to create dokku app dokku apps:create greenfield.
In local repo add a remote that points to this app git remote add dokku dokku@104.236.108.223:greenfield.
Now from your local repo you can push a new deployment git push dokku master. Dokku should run through the build steps automatically and deploy the app:
=====> Application deployed:
http://104.236.108.223:32780 (container)
