Lunchmove

Setting up the environment and getting started

This is managed through Vagrant cuz its more awesome. Why have just a virtualenv when you can have a whole virtual machine? yeah, exactly. Here's what you need to do

1. Install VirtualBox
2. Install Vagrant
3. clone the repo to your development machine
   1. IMPORTANT: you will need to copy a couple of files into your local filesystem manually because they contain sensitive tokens and we don't want that in a public git repo. ask Dan or Ben or some other person who spends all day on a computer for these.
   2. copy create_db.sql into lunchmove/setup/private/create_db.sql
   3. copy 'set_env.sh' into lunchmove/setup/private/set_env.sh
4. host$ vagrant up
5. host$ vagrant ssh
6. vm$ cd /vagrant
7. vm$ python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8080
8. in your browser you can now visit localhost:8080 and have you some lunchmoves
9. login to slack and check out the lunchmove private channel, which is where the dev environment posts messages to

Front end dependencies and development:

The front end assets are located in the public/assets folder. Packages are managed via NPM. To install the front end assets, navigate to the folder and run the following commands:

$ cd static/app
$ npm install
$ npm run setup

During development, to recompile the javascript and stylesheets:

$ gulp build

The compiled javascript and stylesheets are checked into repository, so if you make any changes to them, make sure they've been recompiled before pushing.

To deploy

1. make a Heroku account
2. download the heroku toolbelt and login on the command-line to your heroku account
3. link your local git repo to the heroku app like this heroku git:remote -a lunchmove
4. git push heroku master
