Description

This is a community fund site based on the following popular apps: Kickstarter, IndieGoGo, and GoFundMe.

Setup/Installation Requirements

• Clone this repository from: github.com/MacKLess/indiegofundstart.
• In order to run this app, you will need to set up a Firebase Database:
  • First, make a free Firebase account here.
  • Then, create a project from the Firebase console.
  • Create a file in the project directory at src/app/api-keys.ts.
  • Once the Firebase project is created, select "Add Firebase to your web app."
    • Copy the information from the pop-up window into api-keys.ts as follows:

    export var masterFirebaseConfig = {
      apiKey: "xxxx",
      authDomain: "xxxx.firebaseapp.com",
      databaseURL: "https://xxxx.firebaseio.com",
      storageBucket: "xxxx.appspot.com",
      messagingSenderId: "xxxx"
    };

  • Add /src/app/api-keys.ts to your .gitignore file.
  • Return to the Firebase console and select your database, then select "Database" from the left-hand navbar.
  • Select the "Rules" option from the blue navbar near the top of the page.
  • Change both the ".read" and ".write" properties to "true".
  • To upload a starter set of projects:
    • Find your project in the Firebase console.
    • Select the "Database" option from the left navbar.
    • Select the 3 dots on the right of the grey bar with the database url.
    • From that menu, select "Import JSON".
    • Upload projects.json from the project root directory.
• Make sure you have Node.js installed. Instructions for doing so can be found here.
• From the project root directory, run the following commands in the terminal:

  npm install
  bower install
  ng serve
  

• You can now open the site in your web browser at localhost:4200.
