Month Stuff

This project is in-progress. Don't expect it to work without headaches.

Info

This project is a virtual-dom application built with the Mercury Framework. It implements a "build your own gift of the month club", using amazon.com as a data source.

This project is intended as a learning exercise on how to build a virtual-dom application with a hybrid client/server rendering approach. The first page view is rendered server-side, and then subsequent state changes are handled client-side.

The application will email you notifications, on a schedule, to purchase items on your list. You may create lists without authentication, or fork existing lists.

Set up

npm install

Environment Configuration

The following environment variables are expected by the server:

• AWS_ID
• AWS_SECRET
• AMAZON_ASSOC_ID (optional)

Optionally, you may set NODE_ENV to one of:

• development (default)
• production
• test

Development Server

gulp watch

There are two servers run by the watch task (for now, anyway) - the server component (port 8080), and the static assets (compiled by browserify and hosted on port 9000). In production, the static assets will be hosted on a CDN.
