This is the code that powers engel.dev

The front end is comprised of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Simply open index.html in a web browser and you are good to go.

In order to deliver dynamic content, this project includes an API layer which is built using Kotin + ktor. For the best experience, download and install IntelliJ IDEA if you haven't done so already.

To keep secrets, secret, and to enable switching between the real Google Cloud and the emulated one, there are a few environment variables to set:

• MAILCHIMP_KEY=YOUR-MAILCHIMP-API-KEY
• YOUTUBE_KEY=YOUR-YOUTUBE-DATA-API-KEY
• KTOR_ENVIRONMENT=local OR production

In order to run this project locally you will want to make use of Google Cloud Emulators. More specifically this project uses Google Cloud Datastore to cache YouTube information so you will want to follow the instructions for installing and running the Datastore Emulator.

Once you have the emulator set-up, you can run the following command to start the emulator: gcloud beta emulators datastore start --no-store-on-disk

Note: the no-store-on-disk flag is used to avoid storing unnecessary data between development cycles.

Building and running the project is as simple as clicking the run button in IntelliJ IDEA and refreshing the index.html page in your web browser. Moving towards production builds and executing the build without IntelliJ IDEA running involves a couple extra steps.

1. Build the API ktor application: ./gradlew installDist
2. Build the Docker container: docker build . -t api
3. Run the Docker container: docker run -p 8080:8080 api
4. Send code to Google Cloud Build: gcloud builds submit --tag gcr.io/YOUR-PROJECT-HERE/api .
