3. Set up a local database called laravel
4. Run composer setup to setup the application
5. Set up a working e-mail driver like Mailtrap
6. Run valet link to link the site to a testing web address
7. Configure the (optional) features from below

You can now visit the app in your browser by visiting http://laravel.io.test. If you seeded the database you can login into a test account with johndoe & password.

Github Authentication (optional)

To get Github authentication to work locally, you'll need to register a new OAuth application on Github. Use http://laravel.io.test for the homepage url and http://laravel.io.test/auth/github for the callback url. When you've created the app, fill in the ID and secret in your .env file in the env variables below. You should now be able to authentication with Github.

GITHUB_ID=
GITHUB_SECRET=
GITHUB_URL=http://laravel.io.test/auth/github

Algolia Search (optional)

To get Algolia search running locally, you'll need to register for a new account and create an index called threads. Algolia has a free tier that satisfies all of the requirements needed for a development environment. Now update the below variables in your .env file. The App ID and secret keys can be found in the API Keys section of the Algoila UI.

SCOUT_DRIVER=algolia
SCOUT_QUEUE=true

ALGOLIA_APP_ID=
ALGOLIA_SECRET="Use the Write API Key"

MIX_ALGOLIA_APP_ID="${ALGOLIA_APP_ID}"
MIX_ALGOLIA_SECRET="Use the Search API Key"
MIX_ALGOLIA_INDEX=threads

In order to index your existing threads, run the following command:

php artisan scout:import App\\Models\\Thread

New threads will be automatically added to the index and threads which get edited will be automatically updated. If you need to flush your index and start again, you can run the following command:

php artisan scout:flush App\\Models\\Thread

Twitter Sharing (optional)

To enable published articles to be automatically shared on Twitter, you'll need to create a Twitter app. Once the app has been created, update the below variables in your .env file. The consumer key and secret and access token and secret can be found in the Keys and tokens section of the Twitter developers UI.

TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY=
TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET=
TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN=
TWITTER_ACCESS_SECRET=

Approved articles are shared in the order they were submitted for approval. Articles are shared twice per day at 14:00 and 18:00 UTC. Once an article has been shared, it will not be shared again.
