Continous Integration - Heroku, Travis-ci, Github, and Mlab

Purpose: Use for teaching thinkful students

Demo Links

• Mlab node-restaurants-app - Database in Mlab
• Heroku restaurants app - App run in Heroku
• Github Restaurant app - Code Repo in Gihub
• travis-c node-restaurants-app-mongoose - Automated Testing

Installing Locally

• Clone Locally Github Restaurant app
• Run NPM Install npm install
• Open Terminal Run Mongo DB mongod
• In your current App Folder, Run another terminal mongoimport --db restaurants-app --collection restaurants --drop --file primer-dataset.json

• Import primer-dataset.json file into Mlab.In your current app folder, open a terminal and run: mongoimport -h ds229465.mlab.com:29465 -d node-restaurants-app -c restaurants -u <user> -p <password> --file primer-dataset.json

Pushing the Code to a Node Server - Heroku

• In your current app folder Run heroku create
• Push your local code to Heroku git push heroku master
• Start a Dyno(lightweight Linux containers) on your server heroku ps:scale web=1
• Connect Heruko and Mlab: Go to Heroku in your browser, and click your app. then click Settings => Reveal Config Vars. There, add an entry for DATABASE_URL, pasting in the database URL from step 1 after subbing in your username and password: mongodb://<dbuser>:<dbpassword>@ds99999.mlab.com:9999/node-restaurants-app. This Variable should match with config.js process.env.DATABASE_URL .
