How to get running:

• create a .env file with the following or similar properties:

API_URL=[BCS API URL]
LOGIN_PATH=login
ME_PATH=me
LOCAL_USERNAME=root
LOCAL_PASSWORD=root
LOCAL_DATABASE=board_tracker
LOCAL_PORT=8889

• make sure your node and yarn are up to date:

"node" = "^11.13.0",
"yarn" = "^1.15.2"

• create a database schema in mysql:

CREATE DATABASE board_tracker;

• from the root folder install packages using yarn:

yarn

• from the root folder build site to run, sometimes you need to run this twice:

yarn build

• from the root folder run seeds to add some starter data to the page:

yarn seed

• from the root folder run server:

yarn start

Currently working:

• use bcs login info to log in to the website at http://localhost:8080/ deployed at http://whiteboardtrack.herokuapp.com/

• accept terms that your github picture and username might be shared.

• create a whiteboarding problem using MarkDown to style the question including the use of code snippets with three backtick (`) marks and your language of choice!

• look at existing whiteboarding problems that are currently available.

Future development:

• use bcs info to allow students to answer whiteboarding problems publicly to everyone who uses the site, or privately within their class, or more privately with only their TAs/Instructors.

  • Allow anyone who has access to the student's answers to comment on the answer to provide feedback and growth.

• allow instructors and tas to keep track of a student's profile of what questions they have answered already.

• allow students to dive into problems at home and also keep track of what questions they've done themselves.
