# Steps to Create and Deploy

## Set up local app

### Install Composer

- Make sure you have MAMP and Postgres installed and running
- Download comopser: https://getcomposer.org/composer-stable.phar
- In Terminal, run:

  - `mv ~/Downloads/composer-stable.phar /usr/local/bin/composer`
  - `chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/composer`
  - `echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile`
  - `ls /Applications/MAMP/bin/php` and take note of the most recent version
  - `echo 'export PATH="/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.4.2/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile` substituting your latest version of php for `php7.4.2`

- close terminal window and open a new one

### Forking/Cloning This Repo

After forking and cloning this repo to your local machine:

- `cd` to repo dir
- run `composer install`
- run `cp .env.example .env`

### Connect to db

Connect to psql and

```
CREATE DATABASE contacts;
\c contacts
CREATE TABLE people (id SERIAL, name VARCHAR(16), age INT);
INSERT INTO people (name, age) VALUES ('matt', 40);
```

Run `whoami` and take note over your computer's username (mine is `matthuntington`)

In `.env` file, adjust the following code block:

```
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=laravel
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=
```

so it is:

```
DB_CONNECTION=pgsql
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_PORT=5432
DB_DATABASE=contacts
DB_USERNAME=matthuntington
DB_PASSWORD=
```

Instead of `matthuntington` insert your computer's username (what you found when running `whoami`)

### Start App

- run `php artisan serve`
- go to http://localhost:8000/
- if browser asks you to generate key, click the button
- go to http://localhost:8000/index.html

## set up heroku

### in your terminal

1. run `heroku create` (take note of the app name for later)
1. run `heroku config:set LOG_CHANNEL=errorlog`
1. run `heroku config:set APP_KEY=$(php artisan --no-ansi key:generate --show)`

### in your browser

1. go to heroku.com in your browser and sign in
1. find this newly created heroku app in your list of available apps and click on it
1. go to resources
1. search for postgres and choose Heroku Postgres
1. choose "Hobby Dev - Free"
1. click provision

### in your terminal

1. in your terminal, if running `psql` gives you "command not found", run `ln -s /Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/latest/bin/psql /usr/local/bin/psql`
1. run `heroku pg:psql`
1. once inside heroku's psql, run
    1. `CREATE TABLE people (id SERIAL, name VARCHAR(16), age INT);`
    1. `INSERT INTO people ( name, age ) VALUES ( 'Matt', 38 );`
    1. `INSERT INTO people ( name, age ) VALUES ( 'Sally', 54 );`
    1. `INSERT INTO people ( name, age ) VALUES ( 'Zanthar', 4892 );`
1. exit heroku psql with `\q`
