Lab μ infomation management system based on ldap

development

0. Install a ldap server, for example osixia/openldap .

1. Set proper environment variables. You can write them in secret.env which has been ignored by .gitignore.

2. Run npm install --no-optional to install dependencies. Option --no-optional is required since one of bunyan's optional dependency will produce error, which prevent debugging.

3. Run gulp for compiling.

4. Run node dist/index.js and the server is listening at 127.0.0.1:3000.
