SMM application template

Basic Gatsby/React template for starting a new kiosk or web project.

Installation

Clone the template as a new project

# (Using SSH)
$ git clone [email protected]:scimusmn/app-template.git project-name
$ cd project-name
$ git remote set-url origin [email protected]:scimusmn/project-name.git

# (Using HTTPS)
$ git clone https://github.com/scimusmn/app-template.git project-name
$ cd project-name
$ git remote set-url origin https://github.com/scimusmn/project-name.git

TODO: Change configs as well

Install dependencies with yarn

$ yarn

Create a matching remote repo with the same project name (scimusmn/project-name) using the GitHub website or CLI.

Set appropriate repo permissions so others have access.

Setting up serial communication

If you want to enable serial communication, via Stele, for this app, you'll need to register an ipcRenderer from Electron and import the arduino-base sub-module. This has all been automated with the following script:

yarn install:arduino-base

Upon completion, you will see a new page at src/pages/arduino.js that can be used for testing Arduino communication.

Using Contentful as a CMS

To connect your application to Contentful, first gather the following information from an existing Contentful Space:

• Space ID
• Content delivery API - access token
• Content management - access token
• The ID of the Content Type you would like to use for page generation

Then run the following script:

yarn install:contentful

Your app is now connected to your Contentful Space (except for Gatsby Cloud Previews). Full manual instructions here.

Cleanup

Once you're done going through the setup of this template, delete everything above this line and start filling out the README with your app details.
