Getting started

Prerequisites

• Install latest stable Node.js
• Install Yarn globally.
• Install dependencies: yarn install in this directory

Front-end

• Start webpack-dev-server: yarn client/dev

This will provide a dev version of the front-end on localhost:8080 and rebuild it on changes.

Back-end

• Start the server via nodemon: yarn server/express

This will run the server straight from the source in ./server/src. Nodemon will automatically refresh it on changes.

Building in production mode

• Build assets in production mode and run Firebase Hosting locally: yarn server/firebase

This will build the JavaScript bundle in production mode and then execute firebase serve.

Built with

• TypeScript - strongly typed language compiled to JavaScript
• React - front-end library for building UI
• Redux - state container for structuring business logic in a predictable way
• Aphrodite - CSS in JS solution
• Firebase - tools and infrastructure for the server side, abstraction over the Google Cloud Platform
• Webpack - module bundler for concatenating and minifying JavaScript
