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

Build setup: wikidocumentaries-ui

# install dependencies
npm install

# serve with hot reload at localhost:8080
npm run dev

# serve with hot reload at localhost:8080
# and use a local wikidocumentaries-api instead of the production one
API_URL=http://localhost:3000/ npm run dev

# build for production with minification
npm run build

# build for production and view the bundle analyzer report
npm run build --report

# run unit tests
npm run unit

# run all tests
npm test

• 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>

Wikimedia and project accounts

1. Get a Wikimedia account (the same account for all Wikipedias, Wikimedia Commons, Wikidata etc.) e.g. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:UserLogin
2. Get the Wikimedia developer account > Registration instructions under "VPS and General Users". The same key and password let you access The Wikimedia Cloud Services at https://wikitech.wikimedia.org and the git repositories located at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/. You are also creating a separate Shell account. Read also:
   • https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

3. Create an account in Wikimedia Phabricator
4. Ask to join the codebase in GitHub
5. Ask for an account to edit this wiki
