Olli Vanhapiha 6380d7569f Harmonize client & server env handling
* Remove defaults from multiple places in code. Put them to .env-template instead
* Do not use imported config.js in server. Access process.env directly instead
* Instruct using .env for local development, not .env.development.local

# Sharetribe Starter App
[![CircleCI](https://circleci.com/gh/sharetribe/sharetribe-starter-app.svg?style=shield&circle-token=198451e83e5cecb0d662949260dbc3273ac44a67)](https://circleci.com/gh/sharetribe/sharetribe-starter-app)
This is a template application for a Sharetribe marketplace that can be extended and customised. It
is based on an application bootstrapped with
[create-react-app](https://github.com/facebookincubator/create-react-app) with some additions,
namely server side rendering and a custom CSS setup.
## Documentation
Documentation can be found in the [docs directory](docs/).
## Getting started
Install required tools:
* [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/)
* [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/)
Clone this repository and install dependencies:
yarn install
## Development
**First, you need to configure Client Id, Google Maps API key and
Stripe publishable API key via [environment
variables](./docs/env.md).** The quickest way to do this is to copy
.env-template -> .env, and edit the file to add the three mandatory
configuration values.
To develop the application and to see changes live, start the frontend development server:
yarn run dev
**Known issues:**
* Adding/changing `import`s may not be synced properly with ESLint. You may see an error
`Unable to resolve path to module` even though the module existing in right path. Restarting the
server doesn't help. To solve the issue, you need to make a change to the file where the error
occurs.
## Development Server
To develop the server setup, run:
yarn run dev-server
This runs the frontend production build and starts the Express.js server in `server/index.js` that
renders the application routes in the server. The server is automatically restarted when there are
changes in the `server/` directory.
Not that this server does **not** pick up changes in the frontend application code.
## Tests
To start the test watcher, run
yarn test
See more in the [testing documentation](docs/testing.md).
