Activist Database Project

First, download all the needed dependencies. Then start the server by running make run_all and going to localhost:8080.

You will need the following to run this project:

• go
• node
• mysql

After installing the above, download all the go and node dependencies by running make deps.

First, install mysql server. Then, create a user and database like this:

CREATE USER adb_user@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'adbpassword';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* to adb_user@localhost;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

CREATE DATABASE adb_db CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
CREATE DATABASE adb_test_db CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;

Then run make dev_db.

This project uses webpack to compile our frontend files. Frontend files that need to be compiled are in frontend/, and the compiled outputs are in dist/.

• package.json: file with all frontend dependencies

Run npm install --save some-module-name to install a new dependency.

• webpack.config.js: configuration file for webpack, which builds the js

If you want to add a new page, you'll have to add it as an entry in webpack.js.config.

• make watch: watch the frontend folder for changes and automatically build the file if anything changes.

The most convenient workflow is to run make watch in one terminal and make run in another one. Then your JS changes will automatically be built as you edit them.
