"Activist" (working title, we need a real title)

This is a web app to help people find opportunities to get involved in progressive events and organizations near them. It's built in Node+React+Redux+Express+Mongo. Contact Ian if you want to get involved.

If you have Node + Mongo installed

First, you will need to make a .env file that looks like:

GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY=asdfasdfasdf
MONGODB_URI=mongodb://localhost/activist
SESSION_SECRET=asdfasdfasdf
SENDGRID_API_KEY=asdfasdfasdf

But replace "asdfasdfasdf" with your key/secret.

With Node 6 installed and MongoDB running locally:

1. cd into the project directory.
2. Do npm install to install all dependencies
3. Do npm start or use nodemon. If you're changing the frontend stuff be sure to run webpack -w in another terminal window.

Alternative: Docker

1. Install Docker
2. cd into the project directory
3. Set up the container with docker build -t activist-app .
4. Then do this (replace 'asdfasdf' with the real keys):

TODO: the Docker-mongo connection is not working right now

# run the mongo container
docker run --name mongo-server -d mongo

# run the app on localhost:3000
# and connect that to the mongo container

# TODO: this doesn't actually work!

docker run -it \
--name activist-app-instance \
--link mongo-server:mongo \
-e GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY='asdfadf' \
-e MONGODB_URI='mongodb://localhost/activist' \
-e SESSION_SECRET='asdfasdf' \
-e SENDGRID_API_KEY='asdfasdf' \
-p 3000:3000 \
