spacy

An application for moderating open space events that is built from the ground up to make sure that it is accessible.

Development Setup

Start the application with the following commands

• To start the Clojure application

  lein repl
  

  and then in the repl:

  (go)
  

• To compile the assets (this will copy them into /resources/public)

  npm start
  

Production Setup

Configuring a Postgres Database

We use aero to configure our application, and we use crux as a Database. By default, we use sqlite as a backend for Crux, but for production databases we also have support for Postgres. To configure the application to use Postgres, you can modify the :crux entry in the resources/config.edn to the following:

{:crux {:db-spec #profile {:dev {:dbtype "sqlite"
                                 :dbname "dev.db"}
                           :prod {:dbtype "postgres"
                                  :dbname #env DB_NAME
                                  :host #env DB_HOST
                                  :user #env DB_USER
                                  :password #env DB_PASSWORD}}}}

Please NEVER actually check your database credentials into a git repostitory!

NOTE: The authors of aero recommend against using environment variables for configuring credentials. For this reason, they offer a different method for managing secrets so you can check that out and see if it would be preferable for your deployment environment.
