Draft.js Examples

#Live App https://draftjs-examples.herokuapp.com/

#Running On Heroku You can create your own version of the app (including MongoDB!)

#Local Installation

1. Install Node.js
2. git clone https://github.com/rajaraodv/draftjs-examples.git
3. cd draftjs-examples
4. npm install

#Running Locally You need two terminal windows open, one for client and the other for server.

####Development

1. run npm start. This runs the app server (Express).
2. In terminal 2, run: npm run dev. This runs the development server(webpack-dev-server).
3. Open browser and go to: localhost:8080

#####Note: If you open localhost:3000 in browser, you'll see a "stale" production app, so while in development, always go to localhost:8080

####Production In production, we need to compile the latest client js and place it to public folder. This allows the main app server(Express) to also show the final app.

1. Generate latest React app: npm run build.
2. In terminal 1, run npm start. It will be running both the server and the client.
3. Open browser and go to : localhost:3000.

#Manually Pushing To Heroku Running your own instance on Heroku.

1. git clone https://github.com/rajaraodv/react-redux-blog.git
2. cd react-redux-blog
3. heroku login (enter heroku credentials)
4. heroku init
5. heroku create
6. git push heroku master

###Making changes to your app and pushing it to Heroku Everytime you make changes to the front end, you need to build it, and do git commit before pushing it to Heroku test server.

1. npm run build #build new React app JS
2. git add . #Add change to git
3. git commit -m "<your comment>"
4. git push heroku master
5. heroku open

I usually have something like below that combines all the steps. I just change the commit message everytime.

npm run build && git add . && git commit -m "made changes" && git push heroku master && heroku open

Contributing A New Draft.JS Example

1. Create your Editor component in /public/src/components folder
2. Add the component to /public/src/pages/Examples
3. If you need to add any stylesheets, add it to /public/style
   1. Make sure to use classnames that are unique so it doesn't conflict w/ other examples.
