Quickstart

Before you start, make sure you have

1. Redis installed and running at 127.0.0.1:6379
2. MongoDB installed and running at 127.0.0.1:27017 (OR specify the host and port in config/env/all)

Also make sure to install DNS Masq or equivalent if running it locally on your computer (look at dns_masq_setup_osx for instructions on OSX)

Install dependencies first.

$ npm install
$ bower install

Setup environment.

$ grunt build

Create your user account

$ node ./scripts/setup.js

OR create your .env file

GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_ID=yourGAID
PRERENDER_TOKEN=yourPrerender.ioToken
COVERALLS_REPO_TOKEN=yourCoveralls.ioToken
MAILER_EMAIL_ID=SMTP_Injection
MAILER_FROM=noreply@yourdomain.com
MAILER_PASSWORD=your_sparkpost_apikey
MAILER_SERVICE_PROVIDER=SparkPost
BASE_URL=yourdomain.com
DSN_KEY=yourPrivateRavenKey

##Important Note: Make sure your BASE_URL matches the domain of your server or TellForm won't work!

Side note: Currently we are using Raven and Sentry https://www.getsentry.com for error logging. To use it you must provide a valid private DSN key in your .env file and a public DSN key in app/views/layout.index.html

Edit the env config in gruntfile.js to make sure your .env file is being used. If you don't include this your app won't run

To run development version:

Set NODE_ENV=development in .env file $ grunt

To run production version:

Set NODE_ENV=production in .env file $ grunt

Your application should run on port 3000 or the port you specified in your .env file, so in your browser just go to http://localhost:3000

##Deploying with Docker

To deploy with docker, first install docker https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/.

Then run these commands

$ docker run -p 27017:27017 -d --name some-mongo mongo
$ docker run -p 6379:6379 -d --name some-redis redis
$ docker run --rm -p 3000:3000 --link some-redis:redis-db --link some-mongo:db tellform/development

Testing Your Application

You can run the full test suite included with MEAN.JS with the test task:

$ grunt test

This will run both the server-side tests (located in the app/tests/ directory) and the client-side tests (located in the public/modules/*/tests/).

To execute only the server tests, run the test:server task:

$ grunt test:server

And to run only the client tests, run the test:client task:

$ grunt test:client

Currently the live example uses heroku github deployments. The Docker file is out of date and does not work. If someone wishes to get it working feel free to submit a pull request.
