e-Template

Purpose and Functionality

e-Template will

• make it easy for activists to find email templates applicable to the causes they want to support.
• make it easy for activists with or without a tech background to make customizable email templates.
• allow authors to see insights as to how much reach their published templates have had.

To View on Heroku:

• https://e-template.herokuapp.com/

To Run Locally:

• Frontend access the website at: localhost:3000
• Backend access the website at: localhost:8080

How to get heroku environment config vars for the database

Initialize this repo with heroku's git. You must be a collaborator and signed in on heroku for the e-template account to do this:

heroku git:remote -a e-template

there is a script called get_env_from_heroku.sh in root/.

npm install
chmod a+x get_env_from_heroku.sh
./get_env_from_heroku.sh

Frontend Only

• if you only want to look at the front end, you can try:

cd client
npm install
npm run start

Frontend and Backend

• if you want to test front and back end together locally, open two terminal windows one in client/ folder and one in root/ directory.
• Run the following in the root/:

npm install
npm run demon

• Run the following in client/:

cd client
npm install
npm run start

Production Build

• if you want to run it like heroku does (production build, will be slow to build)

npm install; cd client; npm install; npm run build; cd ..; npm start
