brain-dump

Set up Development Environment

1. Checkout this Git project.
2. Change to the project folder, ./brain-dump.
3. Install Gas by running npm i -g google-apps-script
4. Run: gas auth
5. Run: gas list to find the list of script projects on Google Drive
6. While in ./brain-dump, run gas link <projectName|projectId>
7. gas link will overwrite the current folder content with whatever currently in the Google Drive script project, we need to undo that using git reset --hard HEAD

After a change has been made locally, the change can be sync'ed up with the Google Drive project by runing gas push.

Running the Unit Tests

While in ./brain-dump, install the following modules:

npm install --save-dev mocha
npm install --save-dev chai
npm install --save-dev sinon

Run the tests using npm test.

Deployment

The webapp has two deployment modes: production and development. The mode is controlled by the value of GoogleDriveStorage.IN_DEV_MODE.

When in production mode, data is written to this Goole Drive location: zzz-brain-dump/brain-dump.json.

When in dev mode, the file would be at zzz-brain-dump-dev/brain-dump.json.

Here are the steps to do to publish a new version (i.e. production release):

1. Set the value of GoogleDriveStorage.IN_DEV_MODE to true;
2. Push the code to Google Drive (if not editting directly in Google Drive);
3. Open the Script project in Google Drive, click on Publish -> Deploy as Web app and set the "Project version" to "new". Click Update afterward.
4. Set the value of GoogleDriveStorage.IN_DEV_MODE to false.
