Please see and use the Wiki for all topics not related to setup and installation.
In particular, see the Resources section at the bottom of the main page, which contains links to the click-through prototype and design system.
-
Install Node JS, which includes
npm
. You are welcome to add more detailed platform-specific install instructions here. -
Ensure you are in the
/src/frontend/
directory relative to the rootrecordexpungPDX
directory. -
Run
npm install
to install project dependencies. -
Run
npm start
. This should start a development server and open http://localhost:3000/ in your browser, which should show the login page for our app, and you should see something like this in your terminal:
Compiled successfully!
You can now view record-expunge-pdx in the browser.
Local: http://localhost:3000/
On Your Network: http://192.168.14.37:3000/
Note that the development build is not optimized.
To create a production build, use npm run build.
Proxy error: Could not proxy request /sockjs-node/488/jgepgxci/websocket from localhost:3000 to http://localhost:5000.
See https://nodejs.org/api/errors.html#errors_common_system_errors for more information (ECONNREFUSED).
The proxy error is expected pending updates to the backend.
- While developing frontend code, may be useful to run the app backend to have access to its api endpoints. This process runs in the project Docker stack, which also runs an instance of the frontend webserver, at the same port used by
npm start
. In order to run the the npm server instead, you can first launch the docker stack (see the README.md file at the project's top-level directory) and then kill the docker webserver withdocker service rm recordexpungpdx_webserver
. You can also locally prevent the webserver from running within the docker stack, by uncommenting the relevant lines in the docker-compose.dev.yml file at the top-level project directory.
If you run into any issues with the above steps, please ask someone for help.
The rest of this README is the text that Create React App (which we used to bootstrap the app) generates by default.
In the project directory, you can run:
Runs the app in the development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.
The page will reload if you make edits.
You will also see any lint errors in the console.
Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.
See the section about running tests for more information.
Builds the app for production to the build
folder.
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.
The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.
Your app is ready to be deployed!
See the section about deployment for more information.
Note: this is a one-way operation. Once you eject
, you can’t go back!
If you aren’t satisfied with the build tool and configuration choices, you can eject
at any time. This command will remove the single build dependency from your project.
Instead, it will copy all the configuration files and the transitive dependencies (Webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc) right into your project so you have full control over them. All of the commands except eject
will still work, but they will point to the copied scripts so you can tweak them. At this point you’re on your own.
You don’t have to ever use eject
. The curated feature set is suitable for small and middle deployments, and you shouldn’t feel obligated to use this feature. However we understand that this tool wouldn’t be useful if you couldn’t customize it when you are ready for it.
