The repo is divided into 2 main folders, client and server.
Each main folder is divided into respective subfolders.
app is the container for the Redux/React web app
chrome holds the html/cs/js and configuration files needed to build the chrome extension.
static represents a static file server which serves up files inside app.
api is the container for the RESTful API server.
- Install dependencies in client/app, server/static, and server/api directories
$ npm install
- Install Nodal
$ npm install nodal -g
-
Install PostgreSQL
-
Install ElasticSearch
$ brew update
$ brew install elasticsearch
// you will need java 1.7+ to run ElasticSearch (brew install Caskroom/cask/java)
- Configure ElasticSearch
// Find elasticsearch.yml file:
$ brew info elasticsearch
// Add headers to elasticsearch.yml:
http.cors.enabled : true
http.cors.allow-origin: "*"
http.cors.allow-methods: OPTIONS, HEAD, GET, POST, PUT, DELETE
http.cors.allow-headers: "X-Requested-With,X-Auth-Token,Content-Type, Content-Length, Authorization"
- In your Google Chrome browser, go to chrome://extensions, click on 'Developer mode' then 'Load unpacked extension', select the client/chrome folder to run extension in developer mode
- Run ElasticSearch
$ elasticsearch
-
Run Postgres App
-
Run static-file server from server/static directory
$ npm start
- Run API server from server/api diretory
$ nodal db:create // create database
$ nodal db:prepare // wipes database
$ nodal db:migrate // runs progressive command to rebuild tables in database
$ nodal db:seed // seeds database with dummy data
$ nodal s // start server
- Run Webpack watch and build from client/app directory
$ npm run build
- Go to http://localhost:8000
