TypeScript Sample: Image Board

Overview

This sample implements a complete Node.js application. Notable features:

Note: All commands entered need to be performed from within this directory.

Install MongoDB if necessary (see http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/installation/ )
Ensure you have a clean directory to dedicate as to a database (e.g. C:\imageboard or ~/imageboard/).
From this repository's imageboard directory, run the following command to launch the MongoDB process.
```
<MONGO_INSTALL_DIRECTORY>/bin/mongod --dbpath <PATH_TO_DB_DIRECTORY>
```
From this repository's imageboard directory, restore the sample app data to MongoDB in another command prompt with the following command:
```
<MONGO_INSTALL_DIRECTORY>/bin/mongorestore dump
```
From this imageboard directory, install the app's node dependencies, tsd, and typings with the following commands:
```
npm install
npm install -g tsd
tsd install
```
Some things to note:
- npm install will install this project's node dependencies from package.json.
- tsd install will retrieve .d.ts files from DefinitelyTyped.
Compile the app with the following command:
```
tsc
```
The above command will use tsconfig.json to compile all necessary files.
Launch the Node process to serve the app using the following command:
```
node app.js
```
Open your favorite browser and navigating to http://localhost:3000/ to access the app.
