Summer SDE-Intern Hiring Challenge SummerGeeks - Innovaccer

A desktop app build on top of Electron - an open source framework which can be used for creating cross platform desktop native applications. This app handles entry management system for easy office Checkins and Checkouts. This project allows a host and a user to fill in their details and timestamp of their entry is generated automatically. ALso, Database handling for storing and fetching the data is done via Firebase real-time database system. For mailing and messaging system Nodemailer and Nexmo api respectively is been setup.

Just want to run the application, you can do is

• Clone the repository

$ git clone https://github.com/codekhal/greetify.git

• Install dependencies by using the following commands.

$ cd greetify
$ sudo npm install

Note: If you want to allow native Nodejs modules to work against the version of Nodejs your electron project is using then

$ npm install --save-dev electron-rebuild
$ $(npm bin)/electron-rebuild

Add both the above commands to allow electron to work in your Nodejs environment. One needs to do electron rebuild to allow grpc work for the electron app

• Get your own API Key & API Secret from Nexmo API for messaging funtionality to work.

• create a .env file in root directory and assign the following environment variables

$ cd greetify
$ touch .env

$ echo "EMAIL={your email id}" >> .env
$ echo "PASSWORD={your email password}" >> .env
$ echo "NEXMOAPIKEY={your nexmo api key for sms}" >> .env
$ echo "NEXMOAPISECRET={your nexmo api secret for sms}" >> .env

It considered a good practice to hid your credentials in .env file and then not pushing onto the version control, though this project had less scope for that.

• Finally run the application using

$ npm start

Note: Add electron . inside the start script to run.

• Finally if you are facing the error " Failed to load gRPC binary module because it was not installed for the current system ” related to grpc then here is an article for help. Firestore(Firebase) also uses gRPC so one needs to install this Devdependency in their package.json to resolve this error.
