We also published an article on building a real-time collaborative code editor. Check it out here!

II. Development setup

1. Make sure you have Node.js and npm installed: https://nodejs.org/en/ (npm comes with Node.js)

2. Go to .\code-spot-client\src\environments\environment.ts and change apiUrl to http://localhost:5000/api/

3. Open a terminal to install server dependencies and start server

cd ./server
npm install
npm run start

4. Open another terminal to install client dependencies and start client

cd ./code-spot-client
npm install
ng serve --open

Navigate to http://localhost:4200/ (If it has not been done automatically). The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.

Note: Email sending and Twilio TURN server only work in production server

III. Deployment notes

npm run build
