Setting up dev environment

Set up local development environment

• Download Node.js and npm at https://nodejs.org/en/download/. You need at least Node version 7.6 because Wikidocumentaries uses Async, which in only supported since that version (https://www.infoq.com/news/2017/02/node-76-async-await).
• Clone the repositories from GitHub to your local hard drive
  • https://github.com/Wikidocumentaries/wikidocumentaries-ui
  • https://github.com/Wikidocumentaries/wikidocumentaries-api
• Edit wikidocumentaries-ui/src/store/store.js. Change the constant 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!

• Set environment variables. There are three environment variables to define. You can ask for them in the developer Slack or mail susanna.anas@gmail.com. In a Mac (bash) you can define them like this:

export WIKIDOCUMENTARIES_API_USER_AGENT=<email address>
export FLICKR_KEY=<flickr key>
export BING_MAPS_KEY=<Bing maps key>
export MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN=<Mapbox access token>
export TROVE_API_KEY=<Trove API key>
export EUROPEANA_API_KEY=<Europeana API key>
export SMITHSONIAN_API_KEY=<Smithsonian API key>

• Install: Go to each directory and run npm install
• Run: Go to each directory and run npm run dev

1. Get a Wikimedia account (the same account for all Wikipedias, Wikimedia Commons, Wikidata etc.) e.g. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:UserLogin
