Respa-ui

User interface for the City of Helsinki varaamo.hel.fi resource reservation service. Uses the respa API.

Requirements

• node ^0.12.7
• npm ^2.14.11

Architecture

• Redux handles the state management of the app. For more info check their awesome docs.
• React handles the rendering of the 'views'.
• react-redux is used to connect the Redux Store to React components.
• react-router handles the routing of the app.
• reselect is used for getting data from Redux Store and manipulating it to be better usable in React components.
• redux-api-middleware is used to interact with the API.
• The application is run on an express server.
• Uses Passport and Passport-Helsinki for authentication.
• webpack takes modules with dependencies and generates static assets representing those modules.
• Babel transforms JavaScript written in ES2015 and JSX syntax to regular JavaScript.

   $ npm install
   

2. Set correct environment variables for passport authentication.

3. Then, start the development server:

   $ npm start
   

Starting production server

1. Install npm dependencies:

   $ npm install
   

2. Build the production bundle:

   $ npm run build
   

3. Set correct environment variables for passport authentication.

Running code linter

• To check the code for linting errors:

  $ npm run lint
  

Code style and linting

The code mostly follows the Airbnb JavaScript Style Guide. All JavaScript should be written in ES2015 syntax. Code is automatically linted with eslint when running unit tests or bundling the app with webpack.

Styles and Stylesheets

Less CSS pre-processor is used to make writing styles nicer. Autoprefixer handles CSS vendor prefixes. Bootstrap is used as the CSS framework for the site and City of Helsinki Bootstrap theme is used as the main theme.

Testing framework

• Karma is used to run the tests. On local machines tests are run on PhantomJS to make running tests in watch mode as smooth as possible. On CI the tests are run on Chrome.
• Mocha is used as the test framework.
• Chai is used for test assertions.
• simple-mock and MockDate are used for mocking and spies.
• skin-deep is used to make testing React components with shallow rendering easier.
