App to search past CS 61B materials for studying and review. Inspired by the instant search on cs61a.org. Continuation of the work from here.

Meteor stuff in in app/, a MongoDB populator and some scrapers in utils/

Setup

1. Get Meteor
2. In app/:

• Run meteor npm install
• Run meteor. You can keep this running as you make changes; Meteor automatically refreshes the web server.

3. If you want some example links:

• Run python utils/seed_from_scrapers.py while meteor is running. This will populate your local Mongo database with some previous semesters' links.

File Structure

• imports/api - Model layer for object CRUD
• imports/ui/components - directories divided by component name
  • layout defines overall layout and wraps individual templates
    • Global events or helpers should go in layout.js
  • Controller logic + Blaze template should only go in its directory
  • Component-specific CSS should go in corresponding folder and be imported by corresponding .js file
• imports/ui/routes.js - Routes are here
• server - imports
• More notes from Meteor docs

Misc.

• The Blaze docs are here now
• We are using Flat UI for our front-end (docs are here)
