Longshot App

Prerequisites

  1. Composer
  2. Node
  3. Homestead or DS Homestead for DoSomething developers
  4. Sequel Pro

Local Development Setup

  1. Clone the repo
  2. Create a .env file from .env.example and make sure your .env has the correct keys for your dev environment. Reach out to the tech team for the correct keys to use in your dev environment's .env file.
  3. Edit your Homestead.yml file to include this new info. Making sure the folders and sites configuration is correct for your local set up. You might need to run vagrant provision after you make this update.
  4. Add your app url (longshot.dev) to your etc/hosts file i.e. 127.0.0.1 longshot.dev
  5. Manually create a scholarship_app database in Sequel Pro.
    • Open a new connection window and click on the standard connection tab
    • Name the connection
    • Enter host info: 127.0.0.1
    • Username: homestead
    • Enter password from .env file
    • Port: 33060
    • Hit connect
    • In the choose database dropdown select add database
    • Name the database scholarship_app with UTF-8 encoding.
    • In order to run tests, make another database called longshot_testing
  6. One you finish the rest of the setup below, you can see the whole pretty site at longshot.dev:8000

Composer

Before doing anything else, you need to install all the project's dependencies with composer.

Within the directory for the project in the Vagrant VM (instructions here), run:

$ composer install

Back-end

To run the migrations to setup your database and then immediately seed it, run (also from the project directory in vagrant):

$ php artisan migrate && php artisan db:seed

You'll also need generate an app key if you don't already have one:

$ php artisan key:generate

Create some good test data (if you need more of a particular type of test data, you may choose to create more of just that type, see GenerateTestData.php for all the types):

$ php artisan generate:testdata 10

Front-end

The following commands need to be run from within the root directory for the project on the virtual machine (get comfy in there).

To install the required NPM modules, run:

$ npm install

To install the required Bower front-end packages, run:

$ bower install

To build the Front-end assets which will be added to a /public/dist/ directory, run:

$ gulp

Whenever you need to edit anything in /resources/assets/ you will need to gulp again. To have that happen automatically, run gulp watch to keep watching for changes 👀

Testing

In order to run tests, you need to have created the longshot_testing database. Then, go to the project directory in vagrant and run vendor/bin/phpunit. Tests run automatically on PRs as well.

Pro-tip: If you are debugging tests and crash in the middle, the tests will not get to the step where they roll back all the migrations on the testing database. Not rolling back means that if you try to run the tests again, it will crash because there are unexpected tables in there. So, if you crash during a test, you will need to manually drop those tables before running again 🏃

Using Longshot

The seeded scholarship opened in 2014 and closes in 2020, so you will see "Apply" in the upper right corner and can click that to create a new account as an applicant. To log in as an admin, use one of the seeded admin accounts.


Laravel PHP Framework

Build Status Total Downloads Latest Stable Version Latest Unstable Version License

Laravel is a web application framework with expressive, elegant syntax. We believe development must be an enjoyable, creative experience to be truly fulfilling. Laravel attempts to take the pain out of development by easing common tasks used in the majority of web projects, such as authentication, routing, sessions, queueing, and caching.

Laravel is accessible, yet powerful, providing powerful tools needed for large, robust applications. A superb inversion of control container, expressive migration system, and tightly integrated unit testing support give you the tools you need to build any application with which you are tasked.

Official Documentation

Documentation for the framework can be found on the Laravel website.
