A Fullstack Realtime Polling Application

poll.io - A Fullstack Realtime Polling Application

poll.io is built on ReactJS on the Front-End and ExpressJS on the Back-End.

Local Build Instructions

Make sure you have either yarn or npm installed. (We recommend yarn)

Installing all dependencies of the server

yarn install

Installing all dependencies of the client

cd client/
yarn install

Start Express server and React frontend

Before doing this step, make sure you have nothing running on both port 5000 and port 3000.

You may change these ports in package.json by replacing

var port = normalizePort(process.env.PORT || '5000');

in ./bin/www with your own port number for Express. If you do this, make sure that the proxy port in client/package.json is still the same as your Express port number.

If you have ensured this, run

yarn dev

Sass watch

For live Sass-compiling:

cd client/
yarn watch-css

See Local build

Simply visit

localhost:5000 // or whatever port you defined

Troubleshoot React development

Make sure to disable cache in your browser for proper live reloading of React.
