Setting up dev environment

Set up local development environment

• Install Node.js. You need at least node version 7.6 because the async is supported since that version (https://www.infoq.com/news/2017/02/node-76-async-await) and it is used
• Install npm
• Clone the repositories
  • https://github.com/Wikidocumentaries/wikidocumentaries-ui
  • https://github.com/Wikidocumentaries/wikidocumentaries-api
• Edit wikidocumentaries-ui/src/store/store.js. Change the contant const BASE_URL to the local address by commenting out the server address:

const BASE_URL = "http://localhost:3000/"
//const BASE_URL = "https://wikidocumentaries-api.wmflabs.org/"

Note: Never upload this edit!

• Go to each directory and run
  • npm install
  • npm run dev
