Before you start, make sure you have
- Redis installed and running at 127.0.0.1:6379
- 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
BASE_URL=localhost
DSN_KEY=yourPrivateRavenKey
# Mail config
MAILER_EMAIL_ID=user@domain.com
MAILER_PASSWORD=some-pass
MAILER_FROM=user@domain.com
# Use this for one of Nodemailer's pre-configured service providers
MAILER_SERVICE_PROVIDER=SendGrid
# Use these for a custom service provider
# Note: MAILER_SMTP_HOST will override MAILER_SERVICE_PROVIDER
MAILER_SMTP_HOST=smtp.domain.com
MAILER_SMTP_PORT=465
MAILER_SMTP_SECURE=true
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
Set NODE_ENV=development
in .env file
$ grunt
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
To deploy with docker, first install docker here.
Then see this page here for commands on how to deploy your own local TellForm instance.
You can run the full test suite included with TellForm 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 The Docker file is out of date and does not work.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
TellForm's configuration is done with environment variables. To set an option for TellForm, open/create your .env file and set add ENV_VAR=somevalue
to set the ENV_VAR variable to the value somevalue
