Preamble hacking on the web stuff steps

Env Vars

Both the iron service and the react frontend employ dotenv for local development.

In /.env write the following vars (values are up to your specific needs).

DATABASE_URL="postgres://user:password@localhost/kaizen"
KAIZEN_API_ROOT="/api"

In /web-frontend/.env write

REACT_APP_KAIZEN_API_ROOT="/api"

Be sure that the two API_ROOT vars line up with each other.

Database

The app runs on postgres, and uses diesel. As such, you should run diesel setup and diesel run as per the diesel docs.

Code Style

Eh, there's a rustfmt.toml in the repo, but it's currently empty. Honor system. Run cargo fmt when you can. If you want to tweak the rules, go ahead and update the conf.

Running

If you're like me, you will want the app(s) to auto-reload on code change. For the iron app, I use watchexec which you can install with cargo.

watchexec -rkcw server --exts rs "cargo run --bin kaizen"

This will recompile and re-run the web service on code changes in the server/ dir.

Similarly, from the web-frontend/ directory, after an initial npm install, you can run npm run start for a hot reloading dev server.

Early domains to develop

• Pastes with annotations/comments
  • user accounts and auth (maybe try oauth from the get?)
    • https://crates.io/crates/yup-oauth2
    • some crate for JWT?
  • repo interactions (create a repo on disk for a given paste)
  • comments wrt highlighted lines, partial lines, etc
