readme.md

To run on local computer

I believe php of 7.x, composer, git, mysql and sqlite database is installed on your machine.

1. Clone the repository

git clone git@gitlab.....

2. GO to the project root

cd /path/to/cloned/git-repo/

3. install depenency

composer install 

4. install node depedency and build the assets(css and vue)

npm install && npm run watch

5. setup environment for laravel(initially database) i.e go to the project folder and edit .env

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=192.168.10.10
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=homestead
DB_USERNAME=homestead
DB_PASSWORD=secret

6. migrate the migrations

php artisan migrate

7. serve the project

php artisan serve --port=8080

To Edit css

1. Go to resources/assets/sass you will see all the resources of sass
2. after changing the file you need to rebuild the file

npm run dev # for development process
npm run watch # to watch file changed rebuild for development version
npm run prod # for production version
