This example is a fork of the io_2014_contacts_demo sample, modified to use the Redstone.dart framework and plugins. Instead of saving the data in the user's browser, this sample uses a webservice built with Redstone, which store the data in a MongoDb instance.
Before running this example, be sure to have a MongoDB instance available in your environment.
By default, the application will try to connect to a local MongoDB instance, and create/use a database named
"contacts". Take a look at the bin/server.dart file to change these settings.
If you are using Ubuntu, or other Debian based linux distribution, you can just do the following to install MongoDB:
$ sudo apt-get install mongodb
You can clone this repository using the git tool, or download it as a zip file
$ git clone https://github.com/luizmineo/io_2014_contacts_demo.git
To build the code, use the tool/build.dart script. Be sure to set the DART_SDK environment variable before
invoking it:
$ dart tool/build.dart all
The script will produce a build directory, which can be deployed on your server. To test it, you can execute
the bin/server.dart script from the build folder:
$ cd build
$ dart bin/server.dart
Now open your browser and go to http://localhost:8080/
To import this application in Dart Editor,
go to File -> Open Existing Folder... and select the project folder.
To run it, you need to create two launch configurations: One to the server, and another to start the client in Dartium.
Go to Run -> Manage Launches.
To create the server launcher:
- Create a new command-line launch
- Set Dart Script to bin/server.dart
- Set Working Directory to the project path
- Click on the Apply button
To create the client launcher:
- Create a new Dartium launch
- Change Launch Target to URL
- Set URL to http://localhost:8080
- Set Source Location to the project path
- Uncheck the Use pub serve to serve the application option
- Click on the Apply button
To test the application, start the server, and then the client.
