How to run development

• Clone this repository
• Make sure your node environment is 8.2+ and NPM is 5.3.0
• Navigate to root folder and run npm install
• Run EVENT_NAME=harvey npm run setup-vars or EVENT_NAME=irma npm run setup-vars
  • You will only need to run this once, and whenever you want to switch events while developing locally.
• Then run npm run start or yarn start

For deploying to heroku

• For each different event you want you configure for, you will need to make a file named .env.${event-name}.

• For what environment variables need to be defined, see existing .env files and ./src/config.js.

• For your heroku app, you will need to set an EVENT_NAME config variable like so:

  heroku config:set EVENT_NAME=${event-name} --app ${app-name}
  

  For example:

  heroku config:set EVENT_NAME=irma --app irma-staging
  heroku config:set EVENT_NAME=irma --app irma-shelters
  heroku config:set EVENT_NAME=harvey --app harvey-shelters-staging
  heroku config:set EVENT_NAME=harvey --app harvey-shelters
  

• Now, you can deploy by pushing to the heroku remotes as usual.

  For example:

  git push irma-staging master
  

• Once heroku receives your push, it will do the following for you:

  1. Run npm run heroku-prebuild and set up your environment variables
  2. Run npm install
  3. Run npm run heroku-postbuild building the static files for your app
  4. Run npm run start-static as referenced in the Procfile to serve up your built app statically on the PORT as defined by the heroku environment.
