Overview

Project Goals

  • Build an alternative UI for working with GitHub Gists
  • Great developer experience
  • experiment with monorepo structure to understand tradeoffs (blog post coming soon)

Application Features

  • View, edit and create gists
  • Leverages the fantastic monaco-editor library for:
    • IntelliSense
    • familar keyboard shortcuts (similar to VSCode)
    • highly extensible

Developer Features

  • automatic preview deployments for pull requests
  • minimal set of Cypress e2e tests
  • CI & CD workflows using CircleCI, GitHub and DockerHub

Repo Structure

gamma is structured as a monorepo for convenience and uses yarn workspaces to improve developer experience.

Important directories:

  • packages/api: Source code for the application server and GraphQL data layer
  • packages/web: Source code for the React UI and rendering service
  • packages/gamma-core: A fork of the project razzle
  • packages/babel-preset-gamma: Babel preset used with gamma-core package for building web
  • packages/shared: Contains shared code that can be used across packages.

CI/CD Scripts for use with CircleCI:

  • deploy-pr.sh: Bash script used to automatically create preview deployments for pull requests
  • sendurl.sh: Bash script which posts preview deployment metadata to a GitHub app
  • update.sh: Bash script to dynamically inject an environment variable into a Dockerfile 'template'

Important Scripts

The following are a few scripts in various packages that are useful when developing:

Generate fresh TypeScript types after updating the GraphQL schema:

  • yarn workspace web codegen: Examines the GraphQL service running on port 4000 and generates schema.json.
  • yarn workspace web types: Call this script AFTER codegen to generate TypeScript types from the json schema.
