Installation

• Clone repo
• go to repo folder
• Install dependencies npm install --save
• Initialize Build gulp init
• Initialize gulp watcher gulp the watcher will check for changes and update the dist/src files
• Create minified version gulp build the minified files are in dist/build folder
• Run start a server pointing dist folder. The way I am using it is: I have intalled node module http-server (sudo npm install -g http-server),
  

cd dist
http-server 

localhost:8080 should serve index.html.

• Notes: You have to disable authentication and enable cross-origin requests in the api, assuming that you have a local installation of Crowdtruth replace the beginning of Crowdtruth/app/controllers/Api/search/apiController with: (with // the changes)

 
public function getIndex()
  {
    //add the line below
  	header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *');
  	//add the line above
  	$c = Input::get('collection', 'Entity');

  	$collection = $this->repository->returnCollectionObjectFor($c);

  	
  	//<-----comment out from here
  	if(Input::has('authkey')) {
  	  $user = \MongoDB\UserAgent::where('api_key', Input::get('authkey'))->first();
  	  if(is_null($user)) {
  		  	return [ 'error' => 'Invalid auth key: '.Input::get('authkey') ];
  	  }
  	} elseif(Auth::check()) {
  	 	$user = Auth::user();
  	} else {
  	 	return [ 'error' => 'Authentication required. Please supply authkey.' ];
  	}
  	$projects = ProjectHandler::getUserProjects($user, Permissions::PROJECT_READ);
  	$projectNames = array_column($projects, 'name');
  	$collection = $collection->whereIn('project', $projectNames);
  		//<-----to here
  
  	if(Input::has('match'))
  	{
  		$collection = $this->processFields($collection);
  	}
  
  ```
  
-  **Notes 2:**
  If you have installed Crowdtruth on a url different than  http://localhost (even if you are using a 		different port), go to  src/js/Visualizations/util/util.js and change it 
   dont forget to gulp again (if you dont have the watcher active)
