$ git clone https://github.com/brickify/brickify.git

$ cd brickify

Install dependencies: $ npm install

Link git hooks for automatic code tests and style checks: $ npm run linkHooks

$ npm start

In order to continuously rebuild the project and restart the server when source files change you can use supervisor. Install it globally with $ npm install -g supervisor and use it like this: $ supervisor -i build -e node -- make start (Only necessary for server-side scripts as front-end gets build on the fly.)

Run $ npm run to list available scripts. Execute a script like: $ npm run <script-name>

Following scripts are currently available:

• build: Builds client and server js files
• start: Starts server
• apiDocumentation: Generates API documentation
• documentation: Generates code documentation
• test: Executes headless tests
• testClient: Executes frontend tests in the browser
• batchTest: Batch test all models and create a HTML report
• prepublish: Prepares publication of project

We use npm for package management. In order to bundle the modules for the browser we use browserify.

The code must be formatted as described in https://github.com/style-guides/JavaScript

The server currently serves:

• brickify.it: current master-branch
• dev.brickify.it: current develop-branch
