🚀 Local Development

Start developing locally.

Before you get started make sure you sign up for these service providers

• http://auth0.com (for Authentication)
• https://cloudinary.com (for image uploads, optional)

Step-1

clone this repo

https://github.com/anuraghazra/convoychat.git

Step-2

Install all dependencies

# install server side deps
cd convoychat
npm install

# install client side deps
cd client
npm install

Step-3

Environment variables

Now this is a bit tricky.

• create a new file .env in the root folder
• open .env.EXAMPLE
• copy the contents and paste it to the .env

And change all the dummy keys with your own valid ones.

Step-3.1 : Setup Auth0

Most importantly you'll need Auth0

Follow this guide -

https://auth0.com/docs/quickstart/webapp/nodejs

Also it is important that you setup all the callback URLs correctly in Auth0 Dashboard.

(You can open an issue or contact me on twitter if you get stuck)

Step-3.2 : Setup Cloudinary (Optional)

If you are working on a feature which includes image uploads you'll also need to setup cloudinary

Follow this guide -

https://cloudinary.com/documentation/how_to_integrate_cloudinary

Also it is important that you setup all the callback URLs correctly in Auth0 Dashboard.

Step-4: Starting the server

Finally to start the server execute this script

npm run develop
