Setup ESFiddle Locally

  1. Download and Install MongoDB (or use a remote mongo instance) - https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/installation/
  2. Fork and clone the repo (Develop Branch)
  3. Create a new branch with a descriptive name of your change
  4. Run npm install
  5. Configure mongo in your environment:
    1. Run the command export MONGODB_URI='mongodb://localhost:27017/fiddles' - the environment variables name should be 'MONGODB_URI'.
  6. Start mongo in a new terminal instance by running mongod.
  7. Run npm start in the same terminal window from step 5. This means the server will start correctly.
  8. Make your changes
  9. Run npm test
  10. If the tests pass then commit
  11. Submit a PR against the Develop Branch and ensure that TravisCI tests pass
  12. Once a pull request has been approved it will be merged into the Develop Branch.
  13. Only then once it has gone through a final screening will it be pulled through to the Master branch.
