Getting Started

Getting up and running is as easy as 1, 2, 3, 4.

There are multiple ways to start/develop the app.

Develop with docker

Don't install node_modules locally

1. Create a environment-dev.env and environment.env file to hold your environment variables. These files are ignored by git. You'll want a DATABASE_URL and you gmail info for email verification

DATABASE_URL=mongodb://db/feathersvuedevelopment
COMPLAINT_EMAIL=your_email@gmail.com
GMAIL=your_email@gmail.com
GMAIL_PASSWORD=your_pass_password

See How to set an app password

2. Run npm start

npm start

2. To see production build locally

npm run build-qa
npm run qa

3. To switch back to development use

npm run build-dev
npm start

Switching contexts between production and development requires a full docker build with no cache.

Develop without docker

1. Make sure you have NodeJS and npm installed.

2. Install your dependencies

   cd path/to/Feathers-Vue; npm install
   

3. Start your app locally

   mongod
   

   npm run dev
   

4. In production run

   npm run build
   npm run production
   

If you want emails to work using gmail add the following environment variables

export GMAIL=yourgmailaccount@gmail.com
export GMAIL_PASS=yourpassword or app-password

See How to set an app password

Testing

Simply run npm test and all your tests in the test/ directory to run server side unit test or run npm run integration to run client side side tests.

Scaffolding

Feathers has a powerful command line interface. Here are a few things it can do:

$ npm install -g feathers-cli             # Install Feathers CLI

$ feathers generate service               # Generate a new Service
$ feathers generate hook                  # Generate a new Hook
$ feathers generate model                 # Generate a new Model
$ feathers help                           # Show all commands

Looking for mobile?

I'm working on a cordova starter with feathers 2, Vue 2, and Framework 7. Visit the cordova branch of this repo.

Cordova Branch

Gitlab Auto Deployment

1. Create a digitalocean instance from using the one-click docker instance.
2. ssh into the instance and run

  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get upgrade
  sudo apt-get -y install python-pip
  sudo pip install docker-compose

3. Edit sshd_config

  nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config

4. At the bottom of the file change PasswordAuthentication

  PasswordAuthentication yes

5. Run reload ssh
6. Set the secret environment variables in gitlab

  DATABASE_URL=mongodb://db/feathersvue
  DEPLOYMENT_SERVER_IP=your_ip_address
  DEPLOYMENT_SERVER_PASS=your_user_password
  DEPLOYMENT_SERVER_USER=your_server_user

7. Update docker-compose.autodeploy.yml web image to point to your hosted image.
8. Update gitlab-ci.yml in the only sections to only run on the branches you want to deploy from.
9. Push changes in git to gitlab.

Breaking Changes

• Removed mongoose validation from client side and replaced with Yup.
• Reconstructed server-side rendering to use updated instructions in vuejs.
• Moved server-entry file into app.
