Tech stack

Development

Setting up the full app with your own mongoDB instance and auth credentials for Twitter and Google sign-in requires significant effort. Use the simplified set up if you don’t want to bother with that.

Simplified setup

# Clone the simple-dev branch which does not include db and social sign-in stuff
git clone https://github.com/yogaboll/react-kanban.git -b simple-dev

cd react-kanban

npm install

npm run build

# Open a second terminal window and run:
npm run serve

The app will run on http://127.0.0.1:1337

Full setup

git clone https://github.com/yogaboll/react-kanban.git

cd react-kanban

npm install

You need to add your own mongoDB url as well as auth credentials for the Google and Twitter sign in. You need to create a file with the name .env in the root directory with the following variables:

MONGODB_URL
MONGODB_NAME
TWITTER_API_KEY
TWITTER_API_SECRET
GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID
GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET
SESSION_SECRET

# Has to be port 1337
ROOT_URL=http://127.0.0.1:1337
npm run build
npm run serve

For production deployment run:

npm run build:prod
npm run serve:prod
