System dependencies

Spee.ch relies on the following programs being installed on your server:

• imagemagick
• ffmpeg

Development

• the server/ folder contains all of the server code
  • index.js is the entry point for the server. It creates the express app, requires the routes, syncs the database, and starts the server listening on the PORT designated in the config file.
  • the server/routes folder contains all of the routes for the express app
  • the server/models folder contains all of the models which the app uses to interact with the mysql database. Note: this app uses the sequelize ORM.
• the client/ folder contains all of the client code

Tests

• This package uses mocha with chai for testing.
• Before running tests, create a testingConfig.js file in devConfig/ by copying testingConfig.example.js
• To run tests:
  • To run all tests, including those that require LBC (like publishing), simply run npm test
  • To run only tests that do not require LBC, run npm run test:no-lbc
