V2 of NewsLynx's Web App. This is still a WIP and we should be officially open-sourcing the codebase in late July 2015
For now, please read the report we published for the TowCenter on our prototype.
Install dependencies with npm install. You'll also need Redis for sessioning, which you can brew install with brew install redis. Start Redis by typing redis-server on the command line.
Install nodemon and forever globally if not already installed. Nodemon isn't used in production but it's good to have to cover all scenarios below.
npm install forever -g
npm install nodemon -gRun with the following, which will run Redis in the background, compile your CSS and JS and run the server with forever.
npm startThen visit: http://0.0.0.0:3000
npm run app— Compile CSS + JS and run the app with forever. You will need to be running a redis server elsewhere. Use this scenario in production if you are running newslynx-core on the same box since that will handle running redis.npm run dev— Compile CSS + JS and watch for changes, run redis and run the server with nodemon, which will restart the server when you change jade and json files or the express app. Use this scenario when developing locally.npm run dev-files— Compile CSS + JS and watch for changes. Does no run the app. Use this scenario when developing locally in conjunction with the following command so you can see the output in two shell windows.npm run dev-server— Runs the server with nodemon and the same restart policy as above. Use in conjunction when developing locally withnpm run dev-files.
This documentation will explain the architecture and design patterns in use in the Express app and each section's Backbone app.
