A retreat management application written in Laravel based in part on CiviCRM

Getting Started with Development

We will be setting up our development envrionment in Laravel Homestead, a virtual machine provided by Laravel that meets all the system requirements needed for the Laravel framework. This will make setting up for development a breeze 💨.

Step 1: Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/arborrow/montserrat.git

Step 2: Install the dependencies

Must have the following installed:

  • Composer
  • Node (Node is not required if using Laravel Sail as your virtual environment)

Backend Dependencies

Running the following command will also add Homestead to the current project.

composer install

Frontend Dependencies

yarn install

Step 3: Setup Virtual Environment (Laravel Homestead or Laravel Sail)

For Laravel Homestead, install:

For Laravel Sail, install:

Step 4: Setup the Database

If not creating inside of vagrant, you may need to create your .env file by copying .env.example to .env and providing the database configuration settings (host, name, username and password).

Following commands must be executed inside your vagrant box.

  • cd code
  • php artisan migrate:fresh --seed

Step 5: Generate and Set Application Key

Generating Key

Run the following command to generate an application key

php artisan key:generate

Output

Application key [...] set successfully.

Setting the Key

Copy the text inside the [] and uncomment APP_KEY={app_key} in your .env file. Replace {app_key} with the copied text.

Step 6: Generate API keys (Google People API for SocialLite Login, Twilio, and Google Calendar)

Google+ API for SocialLite

Navigate to Google Cloud Console and login in with your preferred Google account.

  • Create a new project
  • Navigate to APIs & Service
  • Once in APIs & Service, navigate to Library
  • Search for Google People API and select it (Socialite previously used Google+ API; however, Google+ API was suspended in 2019)
  • Enable the API and create a new OAuth client ID.
  • Set your redirect URI depending on your development environment. For Sail, http://localhost/login/google/callback. For Vagrant/Homestead, http://localhost:8000/login/google/callback

Twilio

Navigate to Twilio and login/signup.

  • Navigate to your console.
  • Navigate to your dashboard where you will see ACCOUNT SID and AUTH TOKEN.
  • Navigate to Phone Numbers and under Active Numbers create a new number.

Set .env variables

Uncomment the following lines in your .env file

GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID={google_client_id}
GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET={google_client_secret}

TWILIO_SID={twilio_sid}
TWILIO_TOKEN={twilio_token}

GOOGLE_CALENDAR_ID={google_calendar_id}

For Google People API replace {google_client_id} with your client ID and {google_client_secret} with your client secret.

For Twilio replace {twilio_sid} with your ACCOUNT SID, {twilio_token} with your AUTH TOKEN, and {twilio_number} with your Twilio phone number. (Do not add dashes and parentheses.)

For Google Calendar replace {google_calendar_id} with your Calendar ID. See here for more instructions on how to obtain the Google calendar ID.

Step 7: Get Proper Permissions

Once you have done everything above navigate to localhost:8000 (Laravel Homestead) or localhost (Laravel Sail) . Once you login using Google Auth, your user will not have any role assigned to it. Hence you will not be able to do anything. You must do this before trying to get superuser access

Become the Superuser

Run the following command to assign yourself (given that you are the first user to login) as the superuser.

php artisan db:seed --class=RoleUserTableSeeder

The command above will assign the very first user as the superuser. The command will fail if no user exists.

Step 8: Follow Good Coding Practices!! 🤗

You're all set!

Step 9: Testing

Prior to committing code changes, it is suggested to run the phpunit tests. Test development remains a work in progress. The test environment requires extensive setup and makes use of a fresh MySQL database. The initial database migration and seeding helps to ensure that things are setup to run well. It is recommended that you copy the .env.example file and set it up to use a testing database. Then migrate and seed the database.

  • php artisan --env=testing migrate:fresh --seed
  • php artisan --env=testing db:seed --class=TestPermissionRolesSeeder
