Requirements

MongoDB. Robomongo is useful.

Database setup

1. Create a data directory to store your data (you only need to do this once).
2. Start a mongo process with mongod --dbpath=./data (we'll need to manage this in the server in the long run)

Setup

To fetch packages first:

npm install (dev dependencies) bower install (client side dependencies)

To build:

gulp build

To clean built files:

gulp clean

This will empty the public folder, with the exception of bower_components.

Serving

gulp or gulp watch

This will build, serve and watch your files for changes.

Deployment

git push heroku master

TODOs

Server

• Only open DB connection once on startup, and shut it down when the server exits
