Description

The app’s home page shows a list of polls. Voting for an option in a poll updates the number of votes displayed next to that option across all clients in real-time.

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v6.0.0 or higher)
• MongoDB (v3.4.0 or higher)
• A Pusher account and a Pusher app credentials

Getting started

Clone the project:

git clone https://github.com/shalvah/pollser

Put your Pusher app credentials in a .env file in the project root:

PUSHER_APP_ID=your-app-id
PUSHER_APP_KEY=your-app-key
PUSHER_APP_SECRET=your-app-secret
PUSHER_APP_CLUSTER=your-app-cluster

Look for these lines of JavaScript in views/index.hbs:

var pusher = new Pusher('YOUR_APP_KEY', {cluster: 'YOUR_APP_CLUSTER'});

Insert your Pusher app key and cluster in the appropriate places.

Start your MongoDB server by running mongod.
