• TypeScript — Typed JavaScript at application-scale JavaScript
• Redux Saga — Redux middleware for asynchronous actions or side effects with Saga
• Marked.js — Markdown parser and compiler
• New Relic — Single source of truth for infrastructure monitoring, APM agents, browser monitoring, and logging
• Docker — Virtualization to deliver software in packages called containers
  • Docker Compose — Provides a way to document and configure all of the app service dependencies

Never be dependencies:

• Other non-JavaScript family languages
  • Avoid Elm, ReasonML, and others. Template Web is scope limited to JavaScript or TypeScript ecosystem. For that other matters it's better to create different repositories.
• Other non-React libraries/frameworks
  • Avoid Preact as some of the React features and integrations are missing
  • Avoid jQuery and non-familiar ones
• Other non-Redux state management solutions
  • Avoid Redux Toolkit as it is less flexible than plain Redux
  • Avoid MobX and non-familiar ones
• High-level framework or wrapper for React
  • Avoid Next.js and GatsbyJS because Template Web is focused on less magic and faster build time.

• The JWT is still just an accessToken, there's no refreshToken yet. Also it should be saved in Cookie rather in localStorage.

There are various dotfiles related to environment variables, Prettier, ESLint, and Git ignore.

Install dependencies using yarn:

yarn

This will automatically run postinstall.sh script which creates .env.*.local files which also can be run with yarn postinstall.

You should also install and run template-api before continuing if you want to get real data from the API.

For development, edit .env.development.local file:

REACT_APP_API_URL=https://localhost:3000
REACT_APP_GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_UA=UA-xxxxxxxxx-x

For production, edit .env.production.local file:

REACT_APP_API_URL=https://api.example.com
REACT_APP_GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_UA=UA-xxxxxxxxx-x

yarn dev
# or
yarn start

Access the web app on https://localhost:8000.

yarn lint

To fix basic issues:

yarn lint --fix

yarn test

Watch for changes:

yarn test:watch

Generate coverage:

yarn test:coverage

yarn build

yarn serve

Access the built web app on https://localhost:5000.

• Setup a domain on Uniregistry.
• Setup name servers to connect the domain to Cloudflare.
• Setup application deployment with Netlify.

Build command:

yarn build

Publish directory:

build/

Environment variables:

REACT_APP_API_URL=https://api.example.com
REACT_APP_GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_UA=UA-xxxxxxxxx-x
