Installation

Clone the repo locally then install all the dependencies using NPM

$ git clone https://github.com/DivySrivastava/spruce.git
$ cd spruce
$ npm i

Local Development

Before running, we need to add the Instgram API Credentials to the project. Under the config directory of the repo, you will find instagram.js. We need to add the <CLIENT_ID>, <CLIENT_SECRET> and <host>:<port> with our own API credentials

/** REPLACE YOUR API CREDENTIALS HERE **/
var in_client_id = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX', // <CLIENT_ID>
	in_client_secret = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX', // <CLIENT_SECRET>

Now Replace the <host> & <port> with the redirect uri specified in the Instgram API Dashboard. Default is http://localhost:80/account/oauth.

var in_redirect_uri = 'http://localhost:80/account/oauth'

One last thing is to specify the instagram config file in our authentication router and API. Under the file routes/auth.js and routes/api/v1/index.js change the config file path to instagram.js.

// routes/auth.js
/** REPLACE INSTAGRAM CONFIG PATH HERE **/
var config = require('../config/instagram.js');

// routes/api/v1/index.js
/** SET YOUR instagram config path over here **/
var ig = require('../config/instagram.js');

Finally start the MongoDB server in a seperate bash/pm2

$ mongod

and then start the spruce server via npm.

$ npm start

To know

spruce uses mongoose as an ORM for performing CRUD operations on MongoDB and express.js for server-side HTTP routing.

This project needs contributors!!
