CoffeeChatter

Messing around with Node.js, Socket.IO and Dust.js in order to organize office coffee brewing

Tech

• Node.js - server side rest
• Dust.js - client side js templating
• Socket.io - server and client websocket impl

Dev setup

• Install node and add to your path
• Setup proxy for npm (optional):

npm config set proxy http://HOST:PORT and npm config set https-proxy http://HOST:PORT

• Install some dependencies

npm install dustjs-linkedin dustjs-helpers socket.io dust-compiler debug gravatar underscore

• Compile the dust templates:

node node_modules/dust-compiler/lib/dust-compiler.js -s src/dusts/ -d public/js/compiled/ --bootstrap

• If you are developing the dust templates then you can leave the compiler in watch mode

node node_modules/dust-compiler/lib/dust-compiler.js -s src/dusts/ -d public/js/compiled/

NOTE: on Ubuntu you need to type "nodjs" instead of "node"

Running

mkdir -p public/js/compiled

node app.js
