Dependencies

1. Node.js v10.4.1
2. npm v6.1.0

Setup

git clone <repo>
cd <project>
npm install
npm run start

Please note that this application relies on other services like a cloud-hosted Mongo DB cluster. So, you'll need to supply the appropriate environment variables in example.env and rename it to .env

Dev Notes

Deployment to Heroku

You need:

1. Heroku CLI
2. heroku-config plugin. Install with heroku plugins:install heroku-config

Steps:

1. Create a heroku app heroku create <app-name>
2. Add your envars to heroku heroku config:push --file <env-file>
3. Push your code to heroku git push heroku master

Helpful commands:

heruku ps - the state of your app heroku restart heroku logs --tail heroku run bash

Gotchas:

• weird case-insensitive file naming issue with git on OSX
• config vars on heroku should be plain like MY_VAR=my-value, not quoted like MY_VAR='my-value'
