Local Deployment

These steps describe how you can deploy your app locally in production mode if you do not want to deploy your app online for free (see Deployment).

Requirements

Deploy Locally

Make sure you have all dependencies installed for the server and client (using npm install).

  1. Change into the root directory cd group-00-web
  2. Set the environment variable NODE_ENV for the server:
    • macOS/Linux: export NODE_ENV=production (check with echo $NODE_ENV)
    • Windows: set NODE_ENV "production" (check with echo %NODE_ENV%)
  3. Set the environment variable MONGODB_URI for the server (change the database name "animals" according to your project):
    • macOS/Linux: export MONGODB_URI=mongodb://localhost:27017/animalProductionDB
    • Windows: set MONGODB_URI "mongodb://localhost:27017/animalProductionDB"
  4. Set the environment variable VUE_APP_API_ENDPOINT for the client production build:
    • macOS/Linux: export VUE_APP_API_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:5000/api
    • Windows: set VUE_APP_API_ENDPOINT "http://localhost:5000/api"
  5. Build the minified Vue.js production assets via npm run build --prefix client
  6. Run the Heroku app locally via heroku local

The terminal output should look like this (Heroku uses port 5000 by default):

➜  group-00-web git:(master) ✗ heroku local
3:03:38 PM web.1 |  Express server listening on port 5000, in production mode
3:03:38 PM web.1 |  Backend: http://localhost:5000/api/
3:03:38 PM web.1 |  Frontend (production): http://localhost:5000/
3:03:38 PM web.1 |  Connected to MongoDB with URI: mongodb://localhost:27017/animals-production
