Jiragation

This application consolidates you JIRA tasks, across several different accounts, into one easy to manage time tracking system.

Prerequisites

We use a number of node.js tools to initialize. You must have node.js and its package manager (npm) installed. You can get them from http://nodejs.org/.

Steps to Installation

To get you started you can simply clone the repository and install the dependencies:

Clone Repository

git clone https://github.com/garrettH3S/Jiragation.git <repository_name>

Install Dependencies

We have two kinds of dependencies in this project: tools and angular framework code. The tools help us manage and test the application.

• We get the tools we depend upon via npm, the node package manager.
• We get the angular code via bower, a client-side code package manager.

We have preconfigured npm to automatically run bower so we can simply do:

npm install
bower install

Behind the scenes this will also call bower install. You should find that you have two new folders in your project.

• node_modules - contains the npm packages for the tools we need
• app/bower_components - contains the angular framework files

Note that the bower_components folder would normally be installed in the root folder but changes this location through the .bowerrc file. Putting it in the app folder makes it easier to serve the files by a webserver.

Configuring

Before running the application make sure the following is set up:

• There is a database and its settings are set in config/local.json
• You have created a secret and chosen a port (something over 9000 is suggested)

Run the Application

We have preconfigured the project with a simple development web server. The simplest way to start this server is:

npm start

Now browse to the app at http://localhost:<chosen port>.

Updating Angular

Previously we recommended that you merge in changes to into your own fork of the project. Now that the angular framework library code and tools are acquired through package managers (npm and bower) you can use these tools instead to update the dependencies.

You can update the tool dependencies by running:

npm update

This will find the latest versions that match the version ranges specified in the package.json file.

You can update the Angular dependencies by running:

bower update

This will find the latest versions that match the version ranges specified in the bower.json file.
