Twisted Threads 2

An app for tablet weaving built using Meteor 2.9 with React and Redux. It is the replacement for Twisted Threads.

This is built on top of the Meteor/React/Redux/Auth demo app.

Quick start

Install Meteor 2.9.

In a terminal window, cd into your Meteor directory. Then run the following:

git clone https://github.com/Shelagh-Lewins/twisted-threads-2.git
cd twisted-threads-2
npm install
meteor

Run with environment variables

To send emails, you'll need to provide a valid MAIL_URL.

To save pattern images and preview thumbnails, you'll need to provide AWS credentials.

Copy and rename the file .env.template to .env
Enter your mail and any other credentials in .env. NEVER commit .env to GitHub.
Start the app by executing the script run_meteor.js

The script will first load the environment variables from .env and then run Meteor. This avoids using settings.json and better simulates a production environment.

Tests

Run server-side tests by executing the script test_meteor.sh
