requirebin

create programs in the browser using modules from NPM

the app itself is 100% client side (requirebin.com is hosted on github pages) but it relies on these three APIs:

• https://github.com/substack/node-browserify
• https://github.com/jfhbrook/wzrd.in
• https://github.com/prose/gatekeeper (only necessary if you want to publish gists)

both can be hosted anywhere, the instances used by requirebin.com are hosted on a linode VPS and nodejitsu, respectively.

by default config.js is set to use http://localhost:8000 as the browserify-cdn endpoint but feel free to use http://wzrd.in which is the one I host on a VPS (requires internet connection to use but hey)

getting it to run locally

set up browserify-cdn

npm install -g browserify
npm install -g browserify-cdn
browserify-cdn 8000

set up gatekeeper (only if you want to publish gists in dev mode)

1. make a new github oauth application and set the app URL and callback URL to http://localhost:5000
2. follow these instructions to install and start gatekeeper on port 9999

edit config.js to point to your endpoints

npm install
npm start
open http://localhost:5000

deploying

if you are a collaborator and want to deploy code to requirebin.com, simply run npm run deploy
