Running the Server Locally

To see your code in action locally, you need to fire up a development server. Use the command:

npm start

Once the server is running, visit in your browser:

• http://localhost:8080/ to run your application.

You will need to make sure that your Quantified Self API is also running at http://localhost:3000

GitHub Pages Setup

This site will be served from GitHub Pages in production.

In order to see your application running on production:

1. Open ./lib/requests/qsAPI.js and replace YOUR URL HERE with the base URL of your Quantified Self API running in production (e.g. the root of your Heroku app).

2. From the command line, run npm run build.

3. Commit and push your application to GitHub.

4. Visit your repository on Github

5. Go to Settings

6. Under the Github Pages section of Options, select 'master' as your source and click Save

Be sure to npm run build and commit before each push to master. A few seconds after you push up, you should be able to see your application at https://your-github-username.github.io/quantified-self-fe.
