meeple_mover

Web service backing goboard, an app for faster multiplayer boardgame setup.

Setup

  1. Fetch dependencies

    Everything you need is imported in meeple_mover.go, so go get it.

  2. Install PostgreSQL

  3. Create the database and schema

    pg_restore schema.psql

Running in Heroku

Create Heroku app

heroku create -b https://github.com/kr/heroku-buildpack-go.git

Tell it where to find goboard

This will let the service set the HTTP headers that browsers require to allow Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS):

heroku config:set MEEPLE_MOVER_ORIGIN_URL=http://example.com

Initialize data

Copy the contents of your local DB to Heroku:

heroku pg:push $LOCAL_DB_NAME DATABASE_URL

Where:

  • $LOCAL_DB_NAME is the name of your local Postgres database for meeple_mover (default: meeple_mover)
  • DATABASE_URL is literally that string. It's what the heroku tool craves.

You may have to heroku pg:reset DATABASE_URL, which blows away all your data on the Heroku DB.

Deploy

git push heroku master

Testing

Unit tests

Run go test in each subpackage directory.

Test database

It's useful to create a test database with fixture data in order to run integration tests on the goboard web front-end for meeple_mover.

  1. psql -f schema-test.psql
  2. psql -f data.psql

Start the server with this database by setting an environment variable:

MEEPLE_MOVER_DB_NAME=meeple_mover_test go run meeple_mover.go
