Farm Budgets App

farmbudgets.org

This application allows for the online view and editing of farm budget data. The main budget data repo can be found here.

Install

Init Database

First make sure you have PostgreSQL installed and running on your system. Then pull the data repo.

git clone https://github.com/CSTARS/farm-budgets-data

Then make run the import task from the makefile. You will need to supply a ./usda.key file in the root directory. You can get the key here: http://quickstats.nass.usda.gov/api.

cd farm-budgets-data
echo 'usda.key:=[your key]' > usda.key
make import

You will need a ~/.pg_service.conf file in your home directory as well. It should have an entry that looks like:

[farm-budgets-data]
host=localhost
port=5432
user=[username]
password=[password]
db=[db you want to add schema to]

Init Development Environment

Now install all dependencies for client and server. Note, NodeJS and Bower are required.

npm run init-dev

Finally, create a private config file for configuring access to postgres.

vim /etc/farm-budgets-app/config.js

It's contents should look something like this

module.exports = {
   postgres : {
        url : 'postgres://[username]:[password]@localhost/[database]'
   },
   port: 3000 // you can switch local ports here
}

Run Server

Once you have initialized the PostgreSQL database and installed all development dependencies you simply run the following command to start the server.

npm run run-dev

This will serve the /public (development) code. If you are working on the shared/isomorphic code library in /lib/shared you will want to start up the browserify watch task using the following command. This will automatically rebuild the shared lib as you make modifications.

npm watch

To run the build/production code in /dist simply run

npm run

Build Client

To build the project for deployment to production run:

npm run build
