Boilermade

Good things come in pairs

Looking to mix up a backend with express/sequelize and a frontend with react/redux? That's boilermaker!

Follow along with the workshop to make your own! This canonical version can serve as a reference, or a starting point all on its own.

Setup

To use this boilerplate, you'll need to take the following steps:

npm install, or yarn install - whatever you're into
Create two postgres databases: boilermaker and boilermaker-test
- By default, running npm test will use boilermaker-test, while regular development uses boilermaker
Create a file called secrets.js in the project root
- This file is .gitignore'd, and will only be required in your development environment
- Its purpose is to attach the secret env variables that you'll use while developing
- However, it's very important that you not push it to Github! Otherwise, prying eyes will find your secret API keys!
- It might look like this:
```
  process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID = 'hush hush';
  process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET = 'pretty secret';
  process.env.GOOGLE_CALLBACK = '/auth/google/callback';
```
To use OAuth with Google, complete the step above with a real client ID and client secret from Google
- You can get them here: https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials

npm start will make great things happen!

If you want to run the server and/or webpack separately, you can also npm run start-server and npm run build-client.

From there, just follow your bliss.
