Key Features Include

Getting Started

Prerequisites

npm install -g grunt-cli grunt bower

Developing

  1. Run npm install to install server dependencies.

    if you have errors running the above, try:

    sudo chown -R $USER ~/.npm
    
  2. Run bower install to install front-end dependencies.

  3. Run docker-compose up -d to start a MongoDB instance.

    This also starts a Mongo-Express admin interface available at http://localhost:8081.

  4. Run grunt serve to start the development server. It should automatically open the client in your browser when ready.

    Grunt will run the server and make the project available at http://localhost:9000.

Build & preview

Run grunt build for building and grunt serve for preview.

Seeding the Database

Run grunt seed to seed (populate) your mongoDB with dummy data

Testing

Running npm test will run the unit tests with karma.
