Welcome to Crowbar Angular Prototype

First steps to have the app running locally for PRODUCTION ENV only:

1 - Clone the app from gitlab:

git clone [email protected]:spetrone/crowbar-angular.git

2 - Locate yourself into the recently created folder:

cd crowbar-angular

Make sure you have Node.js installed in your machine with NPM, if not, please proceed to install it before continuing with the following steps. (more info: https://nodejs.org/en/download/)

3 - Let npm install all the needed packages:

npm install

4 - Some packages, like gulp, needs to be installed globally to be available through the console. Let's install them:

sudo npm install -g gulp

5 - You will need to have Bower installed globally in your machine:

npm install -g bower

6 - Let bower fetch all our dependencies:

NODE_ENV=production npm run preinstall

7 - Let Gulp build the public folder for your assets (it will keep watching for changes, so yes, after this, you are ready to start making changes in the front-end):

NODE_ENV=production npm run postinstall

8 - Run the server at http://localhost:3000 with (you will need to restart it every time you make changes in the backend, but not in the layout or front-end in general):

NODE_ENV=production npm start

Need Development ENV? Perform the following replacing the steps 6, 7, and 8:

1 - Everytime you update master from new PR merged into it, make sure you have all the latest libraries from package.json by running

npm install

2 - and then, in a new terminal:

npm run preinstall && npm run postinstall

to compile all your assets again and leave it watching your changes.

That's it fellas! .. enjoy coding!
