Google OAuth

At the moment, we handle sign-in/registration using Google OAuth. You'd need Google Dev credentials: a CLIENT_ID & CLIENT_SECRET for this. Google has easy to follow instructions for this here.

Alternatively, you could follow this link to enable the Gmail API - You'd need to sign in to Gmail first. Click "Go to credentials" and fill in the necessary forms. Click Add credentials -> OAuth 2.0 client ID. The rest should be easy. Save the CLIENT_ID & CLIENT_SECRET in the config_env.rb (See config/config_env.rb.example).

This is a Web application. Authorized origins are of the form:

• http://localhost:9292
• https://canvas-viz.herokuapp.com

And authorized redirect URIs take the form:

• http://localhost:9292/oauth2callback_gmail
• https://canvas-viz.herokuapp.com/oauth2callback_gmail

config_env.rb

To generate MSG_KEY and DB_KEY for the config_env, simply run rake keys_for_config from the terminal and copy the generated keys to config_env.rb.

Gems & DB

To get up and running on localhost, run rake from the terminal.

• This will install the required gems and setup the database.
• The Rakefile has additional commands to help with deployment to heroku.
