Career Buddy helps people find their best career by enabling them to explore the latest employment projections from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Users can visualize the highest paying careers, the fastest growing careers, or their own custom set of careers.
To get you started you can simply clone the career-buddy repository and install the dependencies:
Clone the career-buddy repository from https://github.com/skeller88/career-buddy.
Install node.js, its package manager (npm), and bower, from http://nodejs.org/ and http://bower.io/.
Install the Ruby gems. gem install compass
should install both Compass and Sass.
There are two kinds of dependencies in this project: tools and Angular framework code. The tools help manage and test the application.
npm
is preconfigured to automatically run bower
so after cloning the repo, run the following command:
npm install
Behind the scenes this will also call bower install
. After runing npm install
the project should have two new folders.
node_modules
- contains the npm packages for the tools we needapp/bower_components
- contains the Angular framework files
The trickiest bower dependency is kendo-ui-core, which must be kept in sync with Angular and jQuery: http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/install/prerequisites. As of 1/14/15, the app is currently using kendo-ui-core 2014.2.716, which is compatible with Angular 1.2.16 and jQuery 1.9.1.
Make sure all of the Angular dependencies are the same version as well.
Note that the bower_components
folder would normally be installed in the root folder but angular-seed changes this location through the .bowerrc
file. Putting it in the app folder makes it easier to serve the files by a webserver.
node src/server.js
or for automatic refreshing of server on changes:
nodemon src/server.js
Now browse to the app at http://localhost:3000/#/
.
grunt test
to run tests once
grunt watch
to rerun tests whenever any .js files in spec/, src/, or app/ are changed.
To find the latest versions that match the version ranges specified in the package.json
