Welcome to the allay-fe wiki!

We are a platform that aims to relieve stress for students by providing a dashboard where students and alumni can talk about their job seeking experience. We do this by allowing alumni to leave reviews, post about job interviews, and share salaries. Additionally, we aim to provide basic social networking between students and hired alumni.

To Run This Application Locally:

  • Clone repo locally using git
  • Install dependencies using npm i inside root folder
  • Open code in editor
  • Create .env.local file in root folder, then add this code to send requests to correct back-end:
REACT_APP_databaseURL=https://labs21-allay-be.herokuapp.com/api
REACT_APP_NODE_ENV=<production> OR <development>
  • Once saved, in terminal run npm start

Deployment

Allay is currently deployed on Heroku. See the TL for Allay to get access to the email and password for the Allay Heroku account. Currently, these are the settings for deployment:

  • Master branch will automatically deploy on merge
  • A staging branch will automatically be deployed on the creation of a pull request to master
