Quickstart

Install dependencies first.

$ npm install
$ bower install

Setup environment.

$ grunt build

Create your .env file. It should look like this

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

Currenty 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

Create this directory or you will get errors.

mkdir uploads/pdfs

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:

$ grunt default

To run production version:

$ grunt production

Your application should run on port 3000, so in your browser just go to http://localhost:3000

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 The Docker file is out of date and does not work.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.

To calculate your total test coverage with Istanbul, run the coverage task

$ grunt coverage

To calculate your server-side test coverage with Istanbul, run the coverage task

$ grunt coverage:server

To calculate your client-side test coverage with Istanbul, run the coverage task

$ grunt coverage:client

Running in a secure environment

To run your application in a secure manner you'll need to use OpenSSL and generate a set of self-signed certificates. Unix-based users can use the following command:

$ sh ./scripts/generate-ssl-certs.sh

Windows users can follow instructions found here. After you've generated the key and certificate, place them in the config/sslcerts folder.
