Getting Started

• Install JDK 8, Maven, Git, and NPM.
• Create a firebase account, and a new firebase project, with no Google Analytics.
• Enable email/password as sign in provider.
• Add a web app to the firebase project.
• Clone the frontend and backend using the following commands:
• • git clone https://github.com/Revature-Reverb/frontend.git
• • git clone https://github.com/Revature-Reverb/backend.git
• Enter the your firebase project’s web app’s settings and copy the configuration properties into the front end’s .env file.
• In the same settings, on the Service Provider tab, click on Generate new private key. Copy the contents of that key into the backend’s firebase_config.json file.
• In backend/src/main/resources, edit the applications.property file to have the correct spring.datasource parameters to the desired database.
• Run Maven Update either within an IDE (having imported the backend as a Maven project) or using the following command in the backend directory:
• • mvn clean install -U
• Start the backend as a Spring Boot Application within an IDE or using the following command in the backend directory:
• • mvn spring-boot:run
• Install frontend dependencies using the command:
• • npm install --legacy-peer-deps
• Connect to localhost:3000 to view the webapp.

Usage

Using the social media app should be intuitive and easy.
