Usage

Glint is an app that you can use to find and share ideas. Submit your idea, and an optional description, and see it appear in the list of ideas. Search through the list of ideas submitted by all users to find new projects to work on. You can also upvote and downvote ideas using the voting buttons. Whether you're looking for a great idea, or have a great idea to share, glint is the app for you!

Requirements

• Node 0.12.0
• Express 4.0.0
• MongoDB 1.4.34
• Mongoose 3.8.24

Development

Installing Dependencies

From within the root directory:

sudo npm install -g bower
npm install
bower install

Running it locally for development purposes

Running a local server and a local mongoDB instance are your first steps to start developing Glint on your own machine.

First, do brew install mongodbto install mongoDB.

Then, run sudo mkdir -p /data/db to create the default directory where your local mongo instance will live.

After doing this, you will run sudo mongod to spin up a local mongoDB instance.

Now running grunt upload from the tasks below will run the server locally with access to the local mongoDB instance. Wooh!

Tasks

From within the root directory:

grunt (task)

grunt tasks:

• grunt deploy - runs test, build, and upload. Is run with a --prod flag for production deployment by Azure
• grunt test - runs unit tests on the frontend and backend
• grunt build - concats and minifies source code files
• grunt upload - runs the server either locally or in production based on flags used on the grunt deploy task
• grunt annotate - creates annotated source code with docco in docs/ folder, for both client and server .js files.
