Blog

This blog application is a mega-app that is built using a micro-app architecture. Each page (post, photo, profile) is a micro-app that uses expressjs, browserify, handlebars & sass. These micro-apps share other micro-apps like header. Each micro-app is published as a npm module at npmjs.com from where it is installed into the mega app.

The modular architecture is inspired from See-Eat-Sleep/AppUp and Condé Nast Traveler.

How to run

Clone the blog repo:

 git clone git@github.com:gautamarora/blog.git

Install dependencies:
```
 cd blog
 npm install
```
Run the app:
```
 npm start
```

Now go to localhost:3000 to see the sample blog app

How to dev

For development, its easiest to softlink all the dependencies to local folders for the microapp dependencies, here is how:

Clone all the microapp dependency repos:

 git clone git@github.com:gautamarora/core.git
 git clone git@github.com:gautamarora/header.git
 git clone git@github.com:gautamarora/homepage.git
 git clone git@github.com:gautamarora/post.git
 git clone git@github.com:gautamarora/photo.git
 git clone git@github.com:gautamarora/profile.git

Install dependencies for all the above repos by running this command in each of them:
```
 npm install
 
```
Create softlinks for all the dependencies by running this command in each of them:
```
 npm link
 
```

Now go back to the blog repo and softlink it to the locally cloned repos:

 npm link core
 npm link header
 npm link homepage
 npm link post
 npm link photo
 npm link profile

Now you can make edits to any microapp locally, and the changes will be reflected when you run the blog app:
```
 npm start
```
