Installation

Create an AppGyver account and install the steroids command line interface

Enter the following commands in your terminal:

git clone https://github.com/eecs394-f16/dine.git

cd dine

npm install

steroids update

steroids connect

A page should popup in your browser. It contains links to the AppGyver Scanner for different phones. Using the AppGyver app, you can scan the QR code on the browser page and run DiNe on your phone

Deploy

Run steroids connect in your terminal. A page should popup in your browser. Select the "Cloud" button at the top of the page. Under "App Details", select "Deploy to cloud". To share your app, select "Open cloud share page". A new page will open with a QR code for AppGyver to run DiNe. You can send the url of this page to other people and they will be able to run the app by opening the url and scanning the QR code with AppGyver

Backend

All code for the backend is located at the dine_backend repository. The backend is hosted by heroku and uses node and express 4. The database is Postgresql 9.5

The database is configured with the following lines in the server.js file of the dine_backend repository.

//database configuration

  var connection = {
    host:process.env.DB_HOST,
    port:process.env.DB_PORT,
    database:process.env.DB_NAME,
    user: process.env.DB_USER,
    password:process.env.DB_PASS,
    ssl: true
  };

If you change the url of the backend, you will also have to update the frontend. Locate the following line in the www/app/services/config.services.js file in your dine repository and update the variable "backendUrl" with the new base url of the backend

var backendUrl = "https://eecs-394-dine-backend.herokuapp.com";
