Getting started

Clone this repo

HTTPS: $ git clone https://github.com/uo-cit-alumni/cit-alumni-site

or SSH: $ git clone git@github.com:uo-cit-alumni/cit-alumni-site

then $ cd cit-alumni-site

Install dependencies

You should have yarn, an npm wrapper: $ npm i -g yarn.

In the project directory, run $ yarn install.

Start database

Install MySQL: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-getting-started/en/

Check the status to make sure it's running, if not then start it:

$ sudo service mysql [start | stop | restart | status]

Set up database

From root of project:

$ mysql -u root -p < "db-model/setup-db.sql"

Create citadmin user

$ mysql -u root -p

mysql> CREATE USER 'citadmin'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '<password>';

mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'citadmin'@'localhost';

mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Database connection file

Create a file secret/db.js that looks like:

exports = {
  host: 'localhost',
  user: 'citadmin',
  password: '<password>',
  database: 'citalum'
};

Start server

There are two servers: the one that came with create-react-app which we can use for development, and the express server found in server.js, where our API is served from.

For developing, use $ yarn dev. This will start both the development server and the API server.

For production, run $ yarn build then $ yarn start to serve bundled files along with the API.

$ yarn dev - Starts development server that came with create-react-app.

$ yarn build - Bundles files into build/.

$ yarn start - Starts our express server (must build first).
