### TODO

* Apply basic styles to calendar

* get calendar hooked up to db

* get calendar hooked up to gcal

### Calendar resources:

* [UI Calendar](http://angular-ui.github.io/ui-calendar/)

* [angular-ui-calendar](https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-calendar)

* [fullcalendar](http://arshaw.com/fullcalendar/docs/)

### Site should include...

* Eventbrite

* Ecommerce with paypal

* hand drawn font would be cool

* Branding: Sandhill crane

* social media, sign up for mailing list, pull in tweets

* blog section that different members can post to

* Members are key part of story

* Diverse use of land: rabbits, compost, dyes, herbs, etc.

* Family land / used for 100 years

* users should have control on where they look through the members/products. just show them the diversity

### This app was scaled using yeoman, a scaffolding engine that uses

* Bower - Package Management

* Grunt - Building/Task management

* generator-angular-fullstack - Yeoman generator to scaffold the project to include Node, Express, Mongo, Passport

### Installation

1. Install yeoman `npm install -g yo`

2. Install yeoman generator-angular-fullstack `npm install -g generator-angular-fullstack`

### Resources:

##### Yeoman

* [generator-angular-fullstack](https://www.npmjs.org/package/generator-angular-fullstack)

##### UI utils

* [angular ui utils](http://angular-ui.github.io/ui-utils/)

##### Calendar

* [UI Calendar](http://angular-ui.github.io/ui-calendar/)

* [angular-ui-calendar](https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-calendar)

* [fullcalendar](http://arshaw.com/fullcalendar/docs/)

##### Moment

* [moment](http://momentjs.com/docs/)

* [angular-moment](https://github.com/urish/angular-moment)

### Deployment:

1. `grunt build`

2. cd to dist file: `git push heroku master`

3. `heroku open`

##### NOTE: you can skip step 1 and 2 to get the project going, but adding routes and resources, etc is made much easier by having access to the yo command

3. Create Project Directory `mkdir sandbox-coop`

4. `cd sandbox-coop`

5. Clone Repo `git clone https://github.com/gemfarmer/sandbox-coop.git`

6. Install Bower Dependencies `bower install`

7. Install Node Modules `npm install`

8. In a new terminal tab, start mongo `sudo mongod`

9. In another new terminal tab, enter mongo shell `mongo`

10. In mongo shell, create new dev database `use fullstack-dev`

11. In original tab, start development server `grunt serve` NOTE: not a typo `grunt serve`

### Workflow, version control, branching

1. As we discussed at VE the other day, I would like to try our best to be anal about branching, so create new branch `git checkout -b [new branch name]` and push to it, create a pull request and we'll review it. Obviously if it is a small edit that won't have a potential cascading bug just push to master. If you think I'm being too rigid let me know and I can be less up-tight
