Homework Exercise

This is an example app to demonstrate my programming skills. Uses AngularJS, Bootstrap, node.js, and makes calls with the Yelp API.

Pre-Requisites

Need to have Vagrant and VirtualBox installed on your computer. These programs will automate the setup process for the required Ubuntu/node.js environment.

1. Download and install VirtualBox

2. Download and install Vagrant

Initial Use

For the first use, vagrant will go through a 3-5 minute setup process for the environment. In a future boot, your environment will launch much faster. Instructions:

1. Download git repo into a local folder on your computer.

2. Enter your Yelp API key in /api/config/connections.js (lines 26 to 29).

3. Open "Terminal" (Mac), or "Windows Powershell" (Windows; make sure to "Run as Administrator"), and cd to your git repo folder.

4. Type vagrant up and hit Enter.

5. Wait... (takes about 3-5 minutes)

6. Open app in your browser: http://192.168.90.60. If the website appears offline, wait a few more moments, because sails.js takes about 30 seocnds to launch after vagrant up is completed.

Subsequent Use

1. Open "Terminal" (Mac), or "Windows Powershell" (Windows & "Run as Administrator"), and cd to your git repo folder.

2. Type vagrant up and hit Enter.

3. Wait... (about 30 seconds)

4. Open app in your browser: http://192.168.90.60. If the website appears offline, wait a few more moments, because sails.js takes about 30 seocnds to launch after vagrant up is completed.
