The purpose of this project is to show how you can use Pancakes outside of GetHuman. This is a work in progress and is not quite ready yet.

Installation

• Add the following entires to your hosts file:

127.0.0.1 api.dev.foo.com 127.0.0.1 dev.foo.com 127.0.0.1 assets.dev.foo.com

• Install homebrew
• Run the following commands from the project root dir (skip anything already installed)

brew update brew install node brew install git brew install mongodb sudo npm install -g gulp npm install gulp devrefresh

• Start Mongo mongod

• now you can run the web and api by running the following in two separate consoles:

node start api node start web

• verify they are up by going to:

http://api.dev.foo.com/ping http://dev.foo.com/ping

Convenience ToDos

If you copy this project and start customizing it, a couple tips:

1. Install supervisor and use that to run your web and api so that it will reload automatically when file changes are made
2. Run gulp.watch as you code so that the client side files are automatically rebuilt
