One step

One step is an application to provide the convinience for salarymen who are busy with working but prefer to cook themselves. With the help of one step, you only need one click to order the dish and receive the ingrediants at any time you want.

Prerequisites

Make sure you have installed all of the following prerequisites on your development machine:

• Node.js - Download & Install Node.js and the npm package manager. If you encounter any problems, you can also use this GitHub Gist to install Node.js.
  • Node v5 IS NOT SUPPORTED AT THIS TIME!
• MongoDB - Download & Install MongoDB, and make sure it's running on the default port (27017).
• Ruby - Download & Install Ruby
• Bower - You're going to use the Bower Package Manager to manage your front-end packages. Make sure you've installed Node.js and npm first, then install bower globally using npm:

$ npm install -g bower

• Grunt - You're going to use the Grunt Task Runner to automate your development process. Make sure you've installed Node.js and npm first, then install grunt globally using npm:

$ npm install -g grunt-cli

• Sass - You're going to use Sass to compile CSS during your grunt task. Make sure you have ruby installed, and then install Sass using gem install:

$ gem install sass

$ npm install -g grunt-cli

• Gulp - (Optional) You may use Gulp for Live Reload, Linting, and SASS or LESS.

$ npm install gulp -g

Cloning The GitHub Repository

The recommended way to get MEAN.js is to use git to directly clone the MEAN.JS repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/JavaScriptAcademy/oneStep.git

This will clone the latest version of the one step repository to a oneStep folder.

Quick Install

Once you've downloaded the boilerplate and installed all the prerequisites, you're just a few steps away from starting to develop your MEAN application.

The first thing you should do is install the Node.js dependencies. The boilerplate comes pre-bundled with a package.json file that contains the list of modules you need to start your application. To learn more about the modules installed visit the NPM & Package.json section.

To install Node.js dependencies you're going to use npm again. In the application folder run this in the command-line:

$ npm install

This command does a few things:

• First it will install the dependencies needed for the application to run.
• If you're running in a development environment, it will then also install development dependencies needed for testing and running your application.
• Finally, when the install process is over, npm will initiate a bower install command to install all the front-end modules needed for the application

Running Your Application

After the install process is over, you'll be able to run your application using Grunt, just run grunt default task:

$ grunt

Your application should run on port 3000 with the development environment configuration, so in your browser just go to http://localhost:3000

That's it! Your application should be running.

Running in Production mode

To run your application with production environment configuration, execute grunt as follows:

$ grunt prod

Running with User Seed

To have default account(s) seeded at runtime:

In Development:

MONGO_SEED=true grunt

It will try to seed the users 'user' and 'admin'. If one of the user already exists, it will display an error message on the console. Just grab the passwords from the console.

In Production:

MONGO_SEED=true grunt prod

This will seed the admin user one time if the user does not already exist. You have to copy the password from the console and save it.
