Robots App

Contributing

Prerequisites

Install node and npm.

Install postgresql.

Install source code.

git clone git@github.com:s2t2/express-robots.git
cd express-robots/
npm install

Create database user.

psql
CREATE USER robot WITH ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'r0b0t!';
ALTER USER robot CREATEDB;
ALTER USER robot WITH SUPERUSER;
\q

Create database.

psql -U robot --password -d postgres -f $(pwd)/db/create.sql

Migrate database.

knex migrate:latest --knexfile db/config.js

Seed the database.

knex seed:run --knexfile db/config.js

Usage

Start the server and visit localhost:3000 in a browser.

DEBUG=robots_app:* npm start

Deploying

Set environment variable(s). Setting NODE_ENV is technically unnecessary because heroku does it automatically during deploy.

heroku config:set NODE_ENV=production SESSION_SECRET=s0m3l0ngstr1ng123456

Ensure postgresql addon is installed.

heroku addons:create heroku-postgresql:hobby-dev

Deploy.

git push heroku master

Create, migrate, and seed production database (NOTE: this is already happening as post-installation scripts in package.json).

heroku pg:reset DATABASE
heroku run NODE_ENV=production knex migrate:latest --knexfile db/config.js
heroku run NODE_ENV=production knex seed:run --knexfile db/config.js
