A Time Tracking application. Needs a Postgres Database.
First you need a postgres Database with at least version 9.3.
For manual installation you also need npm and the npm package db-migrate:
$ npm install -g db-migrate
Then you need the database config file from config:
cp database.json.example database.json
Adjust the config to your setup and then you need to install the database migrations using:
db-migrate up
To start the server you need the node environment NODE_ENV setup to production.
Then call npm to start the server:
npm start
TBC3
There is a docker-compose.yml which provides the basic means to start the node server in development mode. It also starts a postgres database docker image and links it.
The node server will expose port 8080 and postgres will expose 5432 for development purposes.
You still need to start the frontend code using npm:
$ npm run dev
And you are good to go to develop in the frontend.
Please understand that this setup is good for working on the client (frontend) code. If you need to work on the node server this will not work as the docker image does not update code changes.
To work on the server it's not recommended to use docker but the direct approach @see Development > Getting Started.
To test the common code just call npm run test. For the api tests you need to start the docker test setup:
$ docker-compose -f docker-compose.test.yml up
Be sure everything is running. Unfortunately at the first run the database needs more time therefore the node server will stop working. You need to start everything a second time to get the setup running.
Then you can start the tests calling locally:
$ npm run test-server
To setup the users you need to be comfortable using the psql shell and working with the database as there is no Administration Interface, everything is done using pure sql.
The user table is your main starting point.
Also the austrian holdiays are kind of hardcoded.
This section explains how to develop the TTrack application.
To start developing you have to run the app in dev mode. Prefer to do this locally which will be more efficient.
# don't forget migrations!
$ db-migrate up
# start the ttrack server (port 8080)
$ npm start
# start the webpack dev server
$ npm run dev
# open the app
$ open http://localhost:8080
The webpack dev server watches the sources and serves the built JS and CSS with hot reloading enabled. The ttrack server serves the main index.html and the rest API. It requests JS and CSS from the webpack dev server.
Since because of security concerns we needed to purge the git commit history, here are the contributors of the project.

It all started as a fun project and never majored of it. It is strictly a tool for tracking our times with our needs. (f.e. Austrian Holidays, no Administration, ...)
