# Spee.ch
This repo packages the spee.ch server for use with spee.ch implementations.
## Quick start
### Prepare your environment
Install Node
* [link](https://nodejs.org)
Start MySQL
* install [mysql](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/installing.html)
* create a database
* save the `database`, `username`, and `password` someplace handy
Start LBRY
* install the [`lbry`](https://github.com/lbryio/lbry) daemon
* start the `lbry` daemon
* retrieve an address from the daemon and send your wallet a couple credits (or join us in the [#speech discord channel](https://discord.gg/YjYbwhS) and we will send you a few)
Install ffmpeg
* [link](https://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html)
Clone this repo
```
$ git clone https://github.com/lbryio/spee.ch.git
```
### Build and Start the App
Change directory into your project
```
$ cd spee.ch
```
Install node dependencies
```
$ npm install
```
create config file
```
$ npm run configure
```
build from source code
```
$ npm run transpile
```
create client bundle with webpack
```
$ npm run bundle
```
start the sever
```
$ npm run start
```
### View in browser
visit [localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) in your browser
### (optional) add custom components and update the styles
* create custom components by creating React components in `src/views/` (further instructions coming soon)
* update the css by changing the files in `public/assets/css/` (further instructions and refactor coming soon)
### (optional) Syncing the full blockchain
Start the `spee.ch-sync` tool available at [billbitt/spee.ch-sync](https://github.com/billbitt/spee.ch-sync)
This is not necessary, but highly reccomended. It will decode the blocks of the `LBRY` blockchain and add the claims information to your database's tables
## Development
* the `server/` folder contains all of the server code
* `index.js` is the entry point for the server. It creates the [express app](https://expressjs.com/), 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](http://docs.sequelizejs.com/) 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`

### Below is a guide to the issue tags in this repo
#### level 1
Issues with spee.ch that anyone with basic web development can handle, little-to-no experience with the spee.ch codebase is required.
#### level 2
Issues with spee.ch familiarity with the spee.ch codebase is required, but little-to-no familiarity with the lbry daemon is necessary
#### level 3
Issues with spee.ch strong familiarity with the spee.ch code base and how the lbry daemon functions is required
#### level 4
Issues with lbry (e.g. the spee.ch wallet, lbrynet configuration, etc.) that require strong familiarity with the lbry daemon and/or network to fix. Generally these issues are best suited for the lbry protocol team but are placed in this repo because of they are part of the spee.ch implementation
