How to Install

1. git clone https://github.com/Neptuniam/134-HomepageV2

2. npm install

3. composer install

4. cp .env.example .env

5. Configure Database settings in .env
   Create a database called what you'd like
   change these three lines in .env:
   

       DB_DATABASE=<the db you just created>
       DB_USERNAME=<your mysql username>
       DB_PASSWORD=<your mysql password (if needed)>
   

6. Finalize your .env set up (I think you need to rerun this whenever you change .env)
   php artisan key:generate

7. Set up your db with these commands
   Create the tables
   php artisan migrate

8. Optional: Seed the tables with some of Liam's favourites.
   This will create a profile with the user: 'Liam' and pass: 'liam' and Liams favourites bar
   php artisan db:seed

You should be set to run the project now

Running

Depending on your current needs there are two approaches:

1. Using the homepage:

    npm run development (this builds the mot recent JavaScript, will take a minute)
    php artisan serve (this hosts the local server)

2. Developing. This involves using two tabs to host a hot build to rebuild the js as you make changes and the local server

Note: You will likely have to refresh once the js is rebuilt to see your changes

    npm run watch-poll (this will take a minute)
    php artisan serve
