Bitballs is a DoneJS app that enables users to coordinate the players, teams, games, rounds and recordings of a basketball tournament. It also serves as an example of how to use DoneJS with sessions, user privileges, RESTful services, and ORM models.
To run the Bitballs app locally, run its tests, or generate its documentation follow the steps outlined below.
- Setup Environment
- Download Source
- Install Dependencies
- Prepare the Database
- Start the Server
- Register a User
- Enjoy
Make sure you have installed:
- Node 5
- NPM 3 (packaged with Node)
- PostgreSQL
On a Mac, the easiest way to install and configure PostgreSQL is using the brew utility:
brew install postgresql
Pay special attention to the end of the brew command's
output, which includes instructions on how to start postgres
:
To load postgresql:
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.postgresql.plist
Or, if you don't want/need launchctl, you can just run:
postgres -D /usr/local/var/postgres
The provided launchctl
command ensures the postgres
process is always
running, even after a system restart. The alternative postgres
command
starts the postgres
process manually.
We recommend the launchctl
option. If desired, postgres
can be
stopped and uninstalled by running:
brew uninstall postgresql

Download and use the graphical installer available on postgresql.org. Make sure you host it listen to port 5432
.
Open pg_hba.conf
, which should be in C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.5\data, and change from md5
authentication to trust
. For example, change:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
to:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 trust
trust
should not be used in a production environment. We are only using it here as a substitute for the peer
mode available in UNIX environments. Read more about it here.
Finally, using pgAdmin III
graphical database manager, which should have been installed with postgres
, create a bitballs
database.
Clone this repo using git:
git clone https://github.com/donejs/bitballs.git
Navigate to the repository's directory
cd bitballs
Make sure the postgres
process is running:
ps | grep postgres
You should see "postgres -D" among the output:
92831 ttys000 0:00.02 postgres -D /usr/local/var/postgres
92856 ttys000 0:00.00 grep postgres
With that confirmed we can create the database that the bitballs app will persist its data to:
createdb bitballs
To install the project's JavaScript dependencies run:
npm install
Additionally DoneJS's command line utilities need to be installed globally:
npm install -g donejs-cli
With all the prerequisite setup completed the server can be started by running:
donejs develop
Navigate to http://localhost:5000/register in your browser and follow the instructions.
You're finished! Explore some of the app's features:
- Live reload (
donejs develop
) - Run the tests (
donejs test
) - Generate the documentation (
