Grateful Place

Grateful Place is a wall-style forum which uses Clojure for an API server, Datomic for the db, and Angular for the front end.

Development

Getting it running - full stack

Install leiningen
Fork the repo
Clone the repo
cd gp2/server
APP_ENV=memory lein run server - this will start a web server on port 8080. Every time you start the server, the application will create an in-memory database and run all migrations. Two users are available by default: "flyingmachine" and "joebob", both with the password "password".

Optional check out server/resources/config/development.edn for Datomic URI options. Run the app with lein run server (development is the default APP_ENV)
In a separte shell, cd gp2/html-app
npm install; bower install
grunt server - this will start the grunt server which will compile changes as you make them. Reload localhost:8080 to see your changes.

Getting it running - just Angular app

Fork and clone the repo
cd gp2/html-app
npm install; bower install
grunt server

You might run into some weird issues when working with the Angular app without the API server. This is because the $resource module gets stubbed out, which you can see in gp2/html-app/app/scripts/init.coffee. Personally, I think it's better to get the API server running using the instructions. If there's a better way to run the Angular app without the API server, I'd love to see that implemented!

Organization

gp2/server contains the API server written in Clojure
gp2/html-app contains a yeoman-generated Angular project
Styles are in gp2/html-app/app/styles.
- _base.scss defines common mixins and variables
- main.scss defines basic styles and includes all other, more specialized styles
- _layout.scss defines the grid
- All other Sass partials (files beginning with an underscore) are more specialized in some way. _posts.scss, for example, has post-related styles.
