Installation

Clone this project from the github repository.

$ git clone https://github.com/velopert/bitimulate

Install packages in both backend and frontend directory using following command:

$ yarn

Rename .env.bak file

You have to rename .env.bak file to .env in bitimulate-backend directory. This file contains environment variable for the server.

Uncomment the registerInitialExchangeRate line @ crawler

Open the crawler file and uncomment following code:

  await registerInitialExchangeRate();

This function crawls exchangerate data from poloniex and creates document for each currency.

Running Backend Development Server

To run the development server, execute following command inside bitimulate-backend directory:

$ yarn dev

Then, make sure you comment the await registerInitialExchangeRate(); again. I know this procedure is bit inefficient. I will come up with better solution later on :)

Running Frontend Webpack Development Server

To run the webpack-dev-server for frontend, execute following command inside bitimulate-frontend directory:

$ yarn start
