meetup-frontend

Frontend web application for Meet-Up.

Setup

The application is using npm, Grunt and bower to build. It also requires compass.

Node

First of all, install NodeJS

$ brew install node.js

and install grunt-cli and bower

# npm install -g grunt-cli bower

Ruby and compass

If you already have a working installation of Ruby, just run

$ gem install compass

otherwise, you can fetch and install everything easily with rvm

$ \curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby=2.0.0
$ source .rvm/scripts/rvm
$ gem install compass

Installing the application

First, clone the repository

$ git clone https://github.com/Meet-Up/meetup-frontend.git
$ cd meetup-frontend

and then install the dependencies.

$ npm install
$ bower install

Configure the application

You need to have a file config-local.coffee in the app/scripts directory to configure the application. The simplest is to copy the example and change the configuration after.

cp app/scripts/config.example.coffee app/scripts/config-local.coffee

Running the application

You can run the application using Grunt

$ grunt server

this should also auto-watch Coffee and SCSS files to rebuild and livereload on change.

and run the tests with

$ grunt test
