Node implementation of Appointment Reminders

Appointment Reminders. Powered by Twilio - Node.js/Express

Use Twilio to create automatic appointment reminders for your business users.

Local development

First you need to install Node.js and npm.

1. This sample application stores data in a MongoDB database using Mongoose. You can download and run MongoDB yourself (on OS X, Linux or Windows).

   On OS X, maybe the easiest way to get MongoDB running locally is to install it via Homebrew.

   $ brew install mongodb

   You should then be able to run a local server with:

   $ mongod

To run the app locally:

1. Clone this repository and cd into it

   $ git clone [email protected]:TwilioDevEd/appointment-reminders-node.git
   
   $ cd appointment-reminders-node

2. Install dependencies

   $ npm install

3. Edit the sample configuration file .env to match your configuration. Remember to set your MongoDb connection strings for both environments.

   If you are using a UNIX operating system, once you have edited the .env file, use the source command to load the variables into your environment.

$ source .env

1. Run the application

   $ npm start

   Alternatively you might also consider using nodemon for this. It works just like the node command but automatically restarts your application when you change any source code files.

   $ npm install -g nodemon
   $ nodemon .

2. Check it out at http://localhost:3000

That's it

Run the tests

You can run the tests locally by typing

$ mocha test
