## Local Development

Before running app locally make sure that you've install flowiing things in your machine:

- Node.js version _v14.18.1_ (if you are using nvm try `nvm use 14.18.1` ) and yarn version _v1.22.17_
- PostgreSQL >= _v12.8_
- Download and install [Beekeeperstudio](https://www.beekeeperstudio.io/) as database toolkit for easy database setup. (Optional)

#### Step 1: Clone the repo

```sh
https://github.com/adarshaacharya/MentorLabs.git
```

#### Step 2 : Install dependencies

cd into the directory

```sh
cd MentorLabs
```

In the root folder do:

```sh
# first install server deps
yarn

# also install client deps
cd client && yarn
```

#### Step 3 : Configuration

1. Create `.env` file in the root directory.

```sh
touch .env
```

2. Open [.env.example](./.env.example) file, copy everything

3. Paste the content in `.env` file

4. Create database named `mentor-labs` with [Beekeeper Studio](https://www.beekeeperstudio.io/) or `postgres-cli` from your terminal. _(You don't have to create tables for database)_

```sql
CREATE TABLE "mentor-labs";
```

5. Again open `.env` file and replace fields like `DB_USER`, `DB_PASS` with your own credentials.

6. Create account on [Twilio](https://twilio.com/) and open the [Twilio dashboard](https://console.twilio.com/?frameUrl=/console).

7. Copy `TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID` and `TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN` keys and paste it on `.env` file on their respective fields.

8. For client too, we have small issue (might be fixed on near future). Go to `client` folder and create `.env` file.

```sh
cd client && touch .env
```

9. Copy everything of [.env.example](./client/.env.example) located inside client directory and paste it inside `.env` file of client directory. (You ca leave `REACT_APP_SENTRY_DSN` field empty)

_The configuration is quite hard tbh, if you encounter any problems in setup you can directy create [issue](github.com/adarshaacharya/MentorLabs/issues). We will try to work on that._

#### Step 4: Usage

Now, you can run application by

```sh
yarn dev

# Server runs on http://localhost:5000 and client on http://localhost:3000

```

## Production Deployment

There is a Heroku post build script so that you do not have to compile your React frontend manually, it is done on the server. Simply push to Heroku and it will build and load the client index.html page
