MongoDB Watch Us Build

We changed the name of this series to "Watch Us Build," so you may see an occasional reference to its former name ("Soup to Bits") in this repository.

This is the repo for the MongoDB Watch Us Build episode that uses a simplified version of JavaScript.com.

Installing NVM

Install NVM ($ brew install nvm and follow instructions)

nvm install 4.2.1
nvm use 4.2.1
npm install -g gulp
npm install

This app authenticates with GitHub, so you'll need to create a GitHub Application and set ENVs for GH_CLIENT_ID and GH_CLIENT_SECRET.

Running

Run the application with $ npm start. You can also set the environment variables at start time. Here's an example:

$ GH_CLIENT_ID=myid GH_CLIENT_SECRET=mysecret npm start

For debugging all the things, run DEBUG=* npm start.

Building Assets

To build assets locally, you'll need to install Bower dependencies and run these Gulp tasks:

$ bower install
$ gulp sass
$ gulp javascript

Remember to re-run these tasks after pulling or changing branches.
