# ratemycoop.io

Rate My Co-op is a new service built to allow students to look up information about companies. Search for (and add more) companies, read reviews, and add your own experiences from which others can benefit.

# Status

![Deployment status from dploy.io](https://ratemycoop-io.dploy.io/badge/02267417976534/22375.svg)

# Technology Stack

The application is a fairly standard stack consisting of Node.js, loopback.io, AngularJS, and Semantic UI.

# Getting started

To get the entire stack running, you must set up your client and your backend.

## Client Setup

All of the client stuff is in the `client` directory
Assuming you have `node`, `bower`, `grunt` and `grunt-cli` installed

```
cd client/
npm install
bower install
grunt serve
```

On success, bower should open up your browser to the default `:9000` port.

## Backend Setup

A lot of it is abstracted, so just run:

```
npm install   # To install dependencies
npm start     # To run the server with sample data in memory
```

The result is an in memory local database with limited initial test data on port `:3000`.
Head to `http://localhost:3000/explorer` to see and interact with the API explorer.

## OS X 10.10

1. Start by installing [homebrew](http://brew.sh/) (following *all* instructions).
2. Next, execute `brew install node`.
3. In the root of the repository directory, execute `npm install`.
4. If you're only working on the backend, you can simply run `node server/server.js`.
5. For frontend development, execute `npm install -g bower grunt-cli`.
6. Change into the `client/` directory and execute `npm install`.
7. Finally, execute `grunt serve` to start the local development server.

# Contributing
We use the `develop` branching model. In order to submit pull requests, fork this repository and branch off of `develop` with a descriptive branch name such as `ui-bugFix/loginForm`. Finally, submit a pull request against the `develop` branch of this repository. Depending on how long it takes to get to the pull request, we may ask you to rebase, but we'll try to incorporate your changes as soon as possible!

# Reporting Issues

Include a succinct title for your issue that gives a quick summary about the problem. It is extremely helpful if you include steps to reproduce the problem in the description (including environment information such as browser version).

# Troubleshooting
## Grunt serve fails with an infinite loop on the watch command:

* Known Issue on Ubuntu

* Fix: Increase the number of files allowed to be watched by a user

* `echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf && sudo sysctl -p`
