Map-My-Moments

Setup

Installing Dependencies

Clone this repo to your local work station and from within the root directory:

meteor npm install

Configure Keys

Google API Key

Setup a Google API key
Create a new file to store this key in: imports/api/google-keys.js
Copy and paste this into your google-keys.js file:

export const GOOGLEAPI = 'YOUR-GOOGLE-API-KEY-HERE';

Amazon AWS S3 Access Key

Setup a AWS Access Key for S3
Create a new file to store this key in: config.json
Copy and paste this into your config.json file:

{
  "AWSRegion": "us-west-1",
  "AWSAccessKeyId": "ACCESS_KEY_ID_HERE",
  "AWSSecretAccessKey": "ACCESS_SECRET_HERE"
}

Modify the S3 bucket [mapmymoments] CORS configuration to:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<CORSConfiguration xmlns="http://s3.amazonaws.com/doc/2006-03-01/">
    <CORSRule>
        <AllowedOrigin>*</AllowedOrigin>
        <AllowedMethod>PUT</AllowedMethod>
        <AllowedMethod>POST</AllowedMethod>
        <AllowedMethod>GET</AllowedMethod>
        <AllowedMethod>HEAD</AllowedMethod>
        <MaxAgeSeconds>3000</MaxAgeSeconds>
        <AllowedHeader>*</AllowedHeader>
    </CORSRule>
</CORSConfiguration>

Usage

Once the dependencies are installed and configuration keys are setup, you can start the application with:

meteor run --settings=config.json

Open your web browser and go to http://localhost:3000 to see the app running.

Configure Google Login

Now that the app is open on the browser, you should see a "Configure Google Login" button after clicking on the "Sign in" dropdown. Clicking on the "Configure Google Login" button will display a set of instructions that you should follow. After retrieving your Client ID and Client secret, copy and paste them in server/settings.js:

ServiceConfiguration.configurations.upsert(
  { service: "google" },
  {
    $set: {
      clientId: "CLIENT_ID_HERE",
      loginStyle: "popup",
      secret: "CLIENT_SECRET_HERE"
    }
  }
);
