picturemyworld-server

Framework: Node.js

How to initialize and start the server

One script to rule them all! setup.py

usage: setup.py [-h] -e ENV [-i] [-d] [-c] [-r] [-t]

Initialize the NodeJS server for PictureMyWorld

optional arguments:
  -h, --help         show this help message and exit
  -e ENV, --env ENV  Configure the deployment environment.
  -i, --install      Install all node dependencies.
  -d, --delete       Delete the database for the given deployment environment.
  -c, --create       Create a new database for the given deployment
                     environment.
  -r, --run          Run the server.
  -t, --test         Run the Unit-Tests.

On first install execute:

./setup.py --env development --install --create

To delete the corresponding database execute:

./setup.py --env development --delete

And finally to run the NodeJs server, execute:

./setup.py --env development --run

Obviously you can use all arguments at once :]

Unit Tests

To setup (and reset) the test environment:

./setup.py --env development --install --delete --create

Add the --test argument to run the tests.
