Set up

Complete the following steps to set up the messaging server:

1. Clone this repository to your local machine 'git clone SLACKFUL-URL NEW-PROJECTS-NAME'
2. 'cd' into the cloned repository
3. Make a fresh start of the git history for this project with 'rm -rf .git && git init'
4. Install the node dependencies 'npm install'
5. Move the example Environment file to '.env' that will be ignored by git and read by the express server 'mv example.env .env'
6. Create the variables PORT and NODE_ENV in the '.env' file.
7. Edit the contents of the 'package.json' to use NEW-PROJECT-NAME instead of ' "name": "slackful", '

Scripts

Start the application npm start Start nodemon for the application npm run dev Run the tests npm test

Deploying

When your new project is ready for deployment, add a new Heroku application with heroku create. This will make a new git remote called "heroku" and you can then npm run deploy which will push to this remote's master branch.
