Thanks for checking out our code. The documentation below may be incomplete or incorrect. We welcome pull requests! But we're a very small team, so we can't guarantee timely responses.

First, run good old npm install. Also run this after changing anything in bower.json or package.json.

Create a file named .env in the root of the repo, with contents like this:

ASSET_HOST_URL=http://localhost:1337
AWS_S3_BUCKET=hylo-dev
AWS_S3_CONTENT_URL=http://hylo-dev.s3.amazonaws.com
FACEBOOK_APP_ID=foo
SLACK_APP_CLIENT_ID=foo
FILEPICKER_API_KEY=foo
HEROKU_API_TOKEN=foo
ROLLBAR_CLIENT_TOKEN=foo
SEGMENT_KEY=foo
NEW_RELIC_LICENSE_KEY=foo
BRANCH_API_KEY=foo

ASSET_HOST_URL and AWS_S3_CONTENT_URL are identical on staging and production, but not in development. In development we want the asset server to serve assets locally, but uploaded files are always saved to S3.

Start it with npm run start. It watches changes to the Javascript, CSS, and HTML files under src, and creates output files in dist, which it serves at localhost:1337 by default.

Install Live Reload browser extension and turn it on for the browser tab in which you're doing development work by pressing the button that was added by the extension.

Once installed and turned on for the page, it will automatically reload your page after you make any changes to the code.

Commit all your changes before deploying. The filenames of the deployed assets will include the first 8 characters of the most recent commit hash.

Make sure to have your Heroku API token to the .env file like so:

HEROKU_API_TOKEN=[your token here]

Run grunt deploy --to=env, where app is either staging or production. The task will upload assets to the app's S3 bucket and change the app's config variables to point to the newly-uploaded assets.
