Setup

During development we have the server running on localhost port 8000, but before running locally, be sure to run:

• npm install to install our dependencies
• npm install gulp -g to make sure gulp is installed
• gulp start to build the dist/ folder, start the server with nodemon, and to watch files for changes

We used the dotenv npm package to configure our development variables. Create a .env file in the root directory with the following variables and their values:

• DATABASE_URL
• DEV_DATABASE_URL
• JWT_SECRET
• MAILGUN_API_KEY
• MAILGUN_DOMAIN

Testing

For client-side testing we used mocha and chai, and for server-side testing we used mocha and chai along with supertest. To run all tests run:

gulp tests

For server-side tests only, run:

gulp serverTest

For client-side tests only, run:

gulp clientTest

Styling

All of our files and images used for styling are located in the client/assets/ directory. If gulp is not already running, run gulp to copy images and compile scss into the dist/ folder.
