0. Make sure you have npm installed. (brew install node). Now, enter the server directory.

1. make setup installs all dependencies

1.5. You need to install MongoDB locally to run the website. See: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/installation/

2. make local will start your local instance! View it at http://localhost:8080

3. When you make a change, kill the existing server and run make local again.

4. When you're confident in your change, 0. Make sure your tests pass (npm test)

   1. Save your changes to Github :)

• Don't commit passwords, tokens, etc. into the codebase. ALWAYS USE ENV VARIABLES.
• Before you push to app-engine, make sure to test with make test at least.

• src/ This directory contains all of the source code for the server. (see README) It's typescript, and has its own build step. (see Makefile 'build-server' step).

• client/ This directory contains all of the source code for the client. The client uses React and has its own build process.

The client is built relative to '/resources/' so that we can effectively route the static files for the React site properly. (see package.json).

• build/ The current build of the website. To rebuild, run:

make build

During the build step, we compile the server and client, and copy both of their outputs into build/. build/server contains the server code, and the rest of build/ is a static directory served on the website.

All build commands are currently set up in the Makefile.

to run the server locally: make local

to clean the server build: make clean
