joserfjuniorllms/io_2014_contacts_demo

Dart, Polymer, Paper Sample App from Google IO 2014

This example is a fork of the io_2014_contacts_demo sample, modified to use the Redstone.dart framework and plugins. Instead of saving the data in the user's browser, this sample uses a webservice built with Redstone, which store the data in a MongoDb instance.

Building and running the application

Before running this example, be sure to have a MongoDB instance available in your environment. By default, the application will try to connect to a local MongoDB instance, and create/use a database named "contacts". Take a look at the bin/server.dart file to change these settings.

If you are using Ubuntu, or other Debian based linux distribution, you can just do the following to install MongoDB:

$ sudo apt-get install mongodb

You can clone this repository using the git tool, or download it as a zip file

$ git clone https://github.com/luizmineo/io_2014_contacts_demo.git

To build the code, use the tool/build.dart script. Be sure to set the DART_SDK environment variable before invoking it:

$ dart tool/build.dart all

The script will produce a build directory, which can be deployed on your server. To test it, you can execute the bin/server.dart script from the build folder:

$ cd build
$ dart bin/server.dart

Now open your browser and go to http://localhost:8080/

Opening in Dart Editor

To import this application in Dart Editor, go to File -> Open Existing Folder... and select the project folder.

To run it, you need to create two launch configurations: One to the server, and another to start the client in Dartium.

Go to Run -> Manage Launches.

To create the server launcher:

• Create a new command-line launch
• Set Dart Script to bin/server.dart
• Set Working Directory to the project path
• Click on the Apply button

To create the client launcher:

• Create a new Dartium launch
• Change Launch Target to URL
• Set URL to http://localhost:8080
• Set Source Location to the project path
• Uncheck the Use pub serve to serve the application option
• Click on the Apply button

To test the application, start the server, and then the client.
