This is a revamp (from memory) of the mobile point of sale API layer, but this time written in node.js.
This project is no longer maintained.
There are a few tools that you'll need to install on your local machine before you can work with the Phoenix project. Unless otherwise noted, you should probably use a package manager like Homebrew to install these packages.
- node.js
- grunt-cli
- ansible
- VirutalBox (required for Vagrant - not in Homebrew)
- Vagrant (not in Homebrew)
Details on the installation are beyond this README file. Use Google to figure out the details or Stack Overflow if you have problems.
To start testing out the project, you'll first need to install all of the ansible third party
packages that we depend upon. Simply execute ansible-galaxy install -r provisioning/requirements.txt
from the project root. If you have ansible installed correctly, this should install a series of
ansible roles globally.
Next you can build a virtual machine by type vagrant up. This may take up to 10 minutes
as this builds a new server box using the ansible scripts and the vagrant base image. When you're
done, you should have a PostgreSQL DB and node.js installation in vagrant that you can use.
NOTE: This will bind the PostgreSQL database to port 5432. If you have a local installation
of PostgreSQL, the vagrant image may have trouble binding.
Next start the application using node app.js from the project root. The app should apply all
of the database migrations in order on boot, leaving you with a fully functional database.
