Use Twilio to send SMS alerts so that you never miss a critical issue.
To run this project on your computer, download or clone the source. You will also need to download and install either Node.js or io.js, both of which should also install npm.
You will also need to sign up for a Twilio account if you don't have one already.
Navigate to the project directory in your terminal and run:
npm installThis should install all of our project dependencies from npm into a local
node_modules folder.
Next, open .env.sample at the root of the project and update it with
values from your
Twilio account
and local configuration. Save the file as .env. You'll need to set
TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN, TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID, and TWILIO_NUMBER.
For the TWILIO_NUMBER variable you'll need to provision a new number
in the
Manage Numbers page
under your account. The phone number should be in
E.164 format
To launch the application, you can use node . in the project's root directory.
You might also consider using nodemon for
this. It works just like the node command, but automatically restarts your
application when you change any source code files.
Make sure you have customized the config/administrators.json file
with your phone number and then open
http://localhost:3000/error. You'll get a text message shortly
informing you of an exception.
npm install -g nodemon
nodemon .Basic functional tests can be run with:
npm testMIT
