Mayhem Basketball Web Application

This is an application starting point that is fully configured with the following:

• React (v 15.6.2 - via create-react-app)
• React Router
• Redux (with form and router)
• Express
• Node.js
• MongoDB

Installation

1. Install all dependencies from the server level yarn install

2. Install all dependencies from the client level cd client && yarn install

3. Use nodemon to start the express server nodemon server.js. This will listen for any changes to the server file and automatically update.

4. Start the client server cd client && yarn start

Configuring React

The client of this app was built using create-react-app. It comes complete with react router for easy page/component navigation. In order to get started, modify the routes in client/components/App.js. A home page component has already been created as a template, as well as a 404 page.

Configuring a Database

You need to configure the database URL found in /config/index.json. If you're using an online source like mLab, just paste the access URL in the file.

Deploying to Heroku

Once the application has been setup, simply create a heroku instance (heroku create from the terminal if you've installed the Heroku CLI) and then push up the files git push heroku master. Buildpacks are automatically enabled.

Add your Heroku URL to /client/tools/api-config.js. This will allow the production code to use your production API.

You should now be able to access <your-app>.herokuapp.com for the client and make requests to <your-app>.herokuapp.com/api/:your-endpoint

**NOTE: There is a slight issue with rendering GET requests as JSON in the browser. You can, however, make http requests via postman or a similar client to see responses and data.
