Setting up Cloud 9

Updating Node/NPM

We should keep our install of nodejs up-to-date. As of March 22, 2016, the latest version is v5.9.0.

nvm install v5.9.0
nvm alias default v5.9.0

Install node modules

# From the base directory
npm install

Install Webpack

npm install -g webpack

Create a config file

// config.js
module.exports = {
  apiUri: 'https://safe-app-<username>.c9users.io/api',
  bannerText: '',
  disabledRoutes: [],
  hotModuleReloadUri: 'safe-app-<username>.c9users.io',
  domain: 'safe-app-<username>.c9users.io',
  port: process.env.PORT,
  protocol: 'https'
}

• Run this:

npm run dev-server

Having .jsx files open with JSX syntax highlighting

1. Open the Cloud9 menu in the top-left corner.
2. Click "Open Your User Settings".
3. Under the ace key, there should be another key that says custom-types. If not, create it.
4. Under the custom-types key, there should be a json() key.
5. Under the json() key, put this key/value pair "jsx": "jsx".

It will look something this after the change:

{
  // ...
  "ace": {
    // ...
    "custom-types": {
      // ...
      "json()" : {
        // ...
        "jsx": "jsx"
      }
    }
  }
}

Configure Cloud9 to use VIM
