Running the application

Setup

To run the application locally, you'll first need a Wolfram Alpha Api key. Get yours here.

Once you have an api key, clone this repo:

git clone https://github.com/JoshuaRabiu/Omnus.git

cd into the project directory

cd Omnus

And create a config.js file in the root directory of the application. Paste your api key inside of the file like so:

module.exports = {apiKey: 'yourApiKey'}

Then refer to the following sections:

Running With Docker

Build the Docker image using the local dockerfile

docker build -t JoshuaRabiu/omnus .

Then, run the following commands, replacing PORT_NUMBER with the port you want the application to run on locally:

docker run -p $PORT_NUMBER:8000 JoshuaRabiu/omnus

For regular Docker users, the app will be running on

localhost:$PORT_NUMBER

For Docker Machine users, it will run on

$DOCKER_IP:$PORT_NUMBER

To find your Docker Macine IP, run this command:

docker machine ip

Running Without Docker

Install the dependencies:

yarn

Then start the Express Server:

yarn start

Then, open a new terminal tab/window in the same directory and cd to the react subfolder like so:

cd client

Install the dependencies:

yarn

Then start the react app:

yarn start

Running Tests

Omnus's test suite is composed of Selenium Webdriver, Mocha, Chai and SuperTest and includes both Integration/e2e testing and unit tests.

Tests are run with the following command:

mocha

Which should output the following, given that everything works:
