Pluralsight Code Challenge Simple Question App

• Redux
• React
• Rails5 in API mode

Prerequisites

• PostgreSQL - http://exponential.io/blog/2015/02/21/install-postgresql-on-mac-os-x-via-brew/
• Node.js and NPM - http://blog.teamtreehouse.com/install-node-js-npm-mac
• Rails5/bundler - http://railsapps.github.io/installrubyonrails-mac.html

Install instructions

• Create a .env file in client folder and put the following in it. Replace the PROD host with your own.

REACT_APP_DEV_HOST='http://localhost:3000'
REACT_APP_PROD_HOST='https://pluralsight-cc.herokuapp.com'

• If you cannot get rails5/bundler setup.. just go ahead and set the DEV host to heroku as well so you can preview the app.

• You only need to do the bundle/create/migrate/seed steps once.

Prod:

bundle install
rails db:create
rails db:migrate
rails db:seed (this will take a while)
cd client
npm install
npm run build
rails s
visit localhost:3000

Dev:

• It's important that you start rails first so create_react_app asks if you want to start on port 3001 instead.

Tab1:
bundle install
rails db:create
rails db:migrate
rails db:seed (this will take a while)
rails s
Tab2:
cd client
npm install
npm start
visit localhost:3001

Cant get rails going?:

Follow the instructions mentioned above about what to set your DEV host to in the .env file that you need to create.

cd client
npm install
npm start
visit localhost:3000
