Getting Started

To get started, add a secret.js file to the app/config directory and edit the connection info in database.js in the same directory. secret.js contains API keys and the session secret used by Express. A template for the file follows.

secret.js

(function () {
    'use strict';

    module.exports = {
        sessionSecret: 'your-session-secret',
        apiKeys: {
            facebook: {
                clientID:     'your-facebook-client-id',
                clientSecret: 'your-facebook-client-secret'
            },
            twitter: {
                consumerKey:    'your-twitter-consumer-key',
                consumerSecret: 'your-twitter-consumer-secret'
            },
            google: {
                clientID:     'your-google-client-id',
                clientSecret: 'your-google-client-secret'
            },
            basecamp: {
                clientID:     'your-basecamp-client-id',
                clientSecret: 'your-basecamp-client-secret'
            }
        }
    };
})();
