Stack

We are building an app that has a React frontend (see the client folder) with an node/Express backend that serves the React as well as a pSQL store, accessible to the frontend as an API.


Installation

First, clone the repo as usual.

In order to enable deployment but separate concerns as much as possible, we actually have three different npm environments - one at the root, one in the client folder, and one in the server folder. To handle installation for all of this, run the following code:

npm i && cd client && npm i && cd ../server && npm i && cd ..

Scripts

You can then run npm run dev:start or npm run dev:build from any directory.

The former will run the Express server on port 3001, and listen for changes.

The latter will first do a fresh production build of the React app in the client folder, and then do the same as above.

Therefore, any changes to the client side code will require a full rebuild in order to see in the browser.

We are not currently using the React development server (booted by running npm start from the client folder) since it breaks without the Express server making the database API available - however, this would not be the case if we were handling our errors properly, so we aim to be able to at a later stage.

Running npm test in the client and server folders will run their respective test suites, while running it from the root of the project will run first the client tests, and then the server tests.

pre-user test





user testing/insights


1) consistency of styling and UI elements (caps, buttons, teach/learn toggle)

2) wording/language (make contact, teach/learn/skills/problems, onboarding)


3) map/list view default


4) navigation (mostly very easy, add skills/problems menu)


5) not understanding the app's concept??
