fliptext-demo

Demonstrates usage and Velocity testing of the "fliptext" package, which turns "Warehouseman" into "uɐɯǝsnoɥǝɹɐЩ".

Refer to warehouseman / fliptext for more details.

Starting from a "known good base" when trying something new is important so I use this as a kind of disposable test jig for ideas and experiments before incorporating them into bigger projects. I found Meteorpad a little too restrictive for some of those things.

What fliptext-demo looks like when it's running . . . Velocity with Mocha & Cucumber.

What's this qikRun.sh thing?

I got fed up with Mongo eating a half a Gb for each Meteor demo I tried so qikRun.sh started out as a two line file :

export MONGO_URL=mongodb://localhost:27017/fliptext
meteor

However, I wanted to be able to add/remove some modules easily. I wanted a single configuration file: settings.json, etc, etc.

If you use Linux with bash you can use qikRun.sh to start Meteor preconfigured by settings.json; both command line settings and runtime settings.

You will need to have "jq" (the great JSON parser) installed or somewhere in your PATH.
