revAMPD

Basic tutorial for the EPA Clean Air Markets Division to go through the process of creating a small web app, in the problem space of AMPD, with automated tests and deployment to cloud.gov.

Currently, revampd is a simple static file frontend and an API backend.

Development

Initial setup

Dependencies

• git
• docker
• docker-compose

This project uses Docker containers to provide a self-contained build and test environment, as well as to locally run the revampd web service and static file web server. These instructions assume some familiarity with the command-line (e.g., Windows Terminal under Windows 10, Terminal under macOS, etc.).

Clone the repository

Clone the repository and cd into it:

git clone https://github.com/18F/revampd
cd revampd

Tests

Run the initial setup and ensure that all tests pass locally:

docker-compose run --rm api make

Running local servers

Start the web server and backend API service:

docker-compose up --abort-on-container-exit --build

Log messages will be printed to the console's stdout.

Once the revampd_web_1, revampd_db_1, and revampd_api_1 instances have started up, a web browser can be directed to http://localhost:9080 to access the frontend. The API backend can be access directly at http://localhost:8080.

Stopping and cleaning up the local server

Ctrl+C will shutdown the server, if performed in the same console window as it was started.

Using a different console window — on the same host OS, from the revampd project tree — the local server can be stopped and cleaned up with:

docker-compose down

Adding/updating Go packages

Whenever the packages used by revampd change, update the Dep files:

docker-compose run --rm api dep ensure -no-vendor
docker-compose build

Be sure to commit the dep-generated updates to src/Gopkg.toml and src/Gopkg.lock.
