Getting Started with Create React App

This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.

Development

Prerequisites

• This repo uses node.
• TDB - Specify versions for node
• To install node consider using a version manager like nvm

Setting up the repo locallay

$ git clone [email protected]:outintech/nbjc-webapp.git
$ cd nbjc-webapp
$ npm install

Installation Issue with multiple react-router-dom

If you have issues with compiling with multiple versions of react-router-dom installed locally, downgrade to version 5 by using:

npm install react-router-dom@5 --save

Running the repo locally

The following will start the repo locally with watchers and hmr in localhost:3000

$ npm start

If 3030 is already in use it will prompt you to run in a different port like so. Hit Y to allow

? Something is already running on port 3000. Probably:
...
Would you like to run the app on another port instead? (Y/n)

Creating components

New standalone React components can be scaffolded using a plop script.

To run the generator:

$ npm run generate

In the prompt, provide a name to your compoenent in PascalCase The script will create :

1. A new directory in src/components

2. Four new files:

   1. .jsx file for the component
   2. .md file for styleguide
   3. .test.jsx file for unit testing
   4. index.js file for ease of import.

Example:

$ npm run generate component
[email protected] generate
$ plop component
? What is your component name? FilterDialog
✔  ++ /src/components/FilterDialog/FilterDialog.jsx
✔  ++ /src/components/FilterDialog/FilterDialog.md
✔  ++ /src/components/FilterDialog/FilterDialog.test.jsx
✔  ++ /src/components/FilterDialog/index.js
✨  Done in 6.64s.

Styleguide

• This repo uses a styleguide based on react-styleguidist to develop components locally.
• It looks for any components with a .md file in src/components folder
• The files are wrapped with the src/Provider.js component to theme the stylguide according to the NBJC theme

To run the styleguide

$ npm run styleguide

go to localhost:6060 to see the styleguide and modify the examples.

To add styleguide to component in the src/components folder simply add a .md file with jsx codeblocks.

Linting

• Run npm run lint to lint all *.js and *.jsx files in the src folder
• CSS lint tbd
• This repo uses eslint with airbnb rules.

Testing

• Run npm run test to run all tests with a watcher.
• Tests will automatically run based on changes.
• Standalone components use snapshot testing to test the rendered component.

Environment variables

• Copy into .env file into .env.local
• Replace REACT_APP_API_HOST with host for the API server you wish to hit.
• Replace placeholder values for REACT_APP_AUTH0_DOMAIN and REACT_APP_AUTH0_CLIENT_ID

Available Scripts

In the project directory, you can run:

npm start

Runs the app in the development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.

The page will reload if you make edits.
You will also see any lint errors in the console.

npm run test

Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.
See the section about running tests for more information.

npm run build

Builds the app for production to the build folder.
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.

The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.
Your app is ready to be deployed!

See the section about deployment for more information.

npm run eject

Note: this is a one-way operation. Once you eject, you can’t go back!

If you aren’t satisfied with the build tool and configuration choices, you can eject at any time. This command will remove the single build dependency from your project.

Instead, it will copy all the configuration files and the transitive dependencies (webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc) right into your project so you have full control over them. All of the commands except eject will still work, but they will point to the copied scripts so you can tweak them. At this point you’re on your own.

You don’t have to ever use eject. The curated feature set is suitable for small and middle deployments, and you shouldn’t feel obligated to use this feature. However we understand that this tool wouldn’t be useful if you couldn’t customize it when you are ready for it.
