Build a ReactJS App workshop
OTHER License
NOTE: The EpicReact.dev videos were recorded with React version ^16.13 and all material in this repo has been updated to React version ^18. Differences are minor and any relevant differences are noted in the instructions.
All of these must be available in your PATH
. To verify things are set up
properly, you can run this:
git --version
node --version
npm --version
If you have trouble with any of these, learn more about the PATH environment variable and how to fix it here for windows or mac/linux.
Hosted on https://bookshelf.lol
If you want to commit and push your work as you go, you'll want to fork first and then clone your fork rather than this repo directly.
After you've made sure to have the correct things (and versions) installed, you should be able to just run a few commands to get set up:
git clone https://github.com/kentcdodds/bookshelf.git
cd bookshelf
node setup
This may take a few minutes.
If you get any errors, please read through them and see if you can find out what the problem is. If you can't work it out on your own then please file an issue and provide all the output from the commands you ran (even if it's a lot).
If you can't get the setup script to work, then just make sure you have the right versions of the requirements listed above, and run the following commands:
npm install
npm run validate
If you are still unable to fix issues and you know how to use Docker 🐳 you can setup the project with the following command:
docker-compose up
It's recommended you run everything locally in the same environment you work in every day, but if you're having issues getting things set up, you can also set this up using GitHub Codespaces (video demo) or Codesandbox.
To get the app up and running (and really see if it worked), run:
npm start
This should start up your browser. If you're familiar, this is a standard react-scripts application.
You can also open the production deployment: bookshelf.lol.
npm test
This will start Jest in watch mode. Read the output and play around with it. The tests are there to help you reach the final version, however sometimes you can accomplish the task and the tests still fail if you implement things differently than I do in my solution, so don't look to them as a complete authority.
To get started, run:
node go
This will allow you to choose which exercise you want to work on. From there,
open the INSTRUCTIONS.md
file and follow the instructions.
If you'd like to work on an extra credit, but you want to skip the preceding
steps, you can run node go
again:
node go
This will let you choose the next exercise or you can choose which part of the
exercise you'd like to work on. This will update your exercise
files to the
correct version for you to work on that extra credit.
The exercises are in different branches. Each branch changes the
INSTRUCTIONS.md
file to contain instructions you need to complete the
exercise.
The purpose of the exercise is not for you to work through all the material. It's intended to get your brain thinking about the right questions to ask me as I walk through the material.
Each exercise has comments in it to help you get through the exercise. These fun emoji characters are here to help you.
INSTRUCTIONS.md
User
List Item
Date.now()
)Date.now()
)For convenience, our friendly backend engineers also return a
book
object on each list item which is the book it's associated to. Thanks backend folks!
/me wishes we could use GraphQL
If your "database" gets out of whack, you can purge it via:
window.__bookshelf.purgeUsers()
window.__bookshelf.purgeListItems()
Book
This means there was something wrong when you ran the setup.
If you made your own fork of
bookshelf
through GitHub, you may have only got themain
branch -- that's the default option
Add a new upstream
remote
git remote add upstream https://github.com/kentcdodds/bookshelf.git
You might get an
error: remote upstream already exists.
-- no problem!
Track all the branches from that original repository
git push origin --tags "refs/remotes/upstream/*:refs/heads/*"
Thanks goes to these wonderful people (emoji key):
This project follows the all-contributors specification. Contributions of any kind welcome!
Each exercise has an Elaboration and Feedback link. Please fill that out after the exercise and instruction.
At the end of the workshop, please go to this URL to give overall feedback. Thank you!
