The following are the core dependencies used in this project

• Next.js - The React Framework
• React - The JavaScript Library
• Redux - The State Management Library
• Redux Saga - The Side Effect Management Library
• Bootstrap React - The React Bootstrap Library
• Date fns - The Date Library
• Framer Motion - The Animation Library

We use GitHub Actions for pull request checks. Any pull request triggers checks such as linting, unit tests and E2E tests.

For lower level tests of utilities and individual components, we use jest. We have DOM-specific assertion helpers via @testing-library/jest-dom.

There are 5 questions every unit test must answer and Eric Elliott created a testing framework called RITEway that forces you to write Readable, Isolated, and Explicit tests. The framework only exposes a single assert test function, which performs a deep equality check.

This project uses ESLint for linting. That is configured in .eslintrc with ignored files in .eslintignore. You can run the linter with yarn lint or npm run lint.

We use Prettier for auto-formatting in this project. The Prettier config is in .prettierrc.

This project is deployed on AWS Amplify. The build settings are configured in amplify.yml. The production tip deployment is done on every push to the main branch. The staging tip deployment is done on every push to the staging branch. Special feature deployments can be done by pushing to the feature/<feature-name> branch and setting the feature/<feature-name> branch as the deployment branch on AWS Amplify.

We use Sentry for error tracking. The Sentry DSN is configured in the next.config.js file.

We use Google Analytics for analytics. The Google Analytics ID is configured in the /src/config/firebase.js file.

We use Firebase for authentication and push notifications. The firebase config is configured in the /src/config/firebase/ file. with initialization in the /src/helpers/firebase.js file.

Let's be honest, using next/image is a pain. The opinions about forcing image widths and heights make it very annoying.

We therefore use Sirv for image optimization. Using Sirv, we can serve images with the correct content type and optimized for web. Images are automatically compressed and resized to fit the device screen size. The srcset attribute is automatically added to serve different images to different devices. To use sirv images, in as image tags in components, use the SirvImage component in the /src/components/SirvImage folder. The SirvImage component takes the following props:

• src: The image source (required)
• alt: The image alt text (required)
• className: The image class name (optional)
• width: The image width (optional)
• height: The image height (optional)
• role: The image role (optional but required for accessibility if the file type is an SVG)

<SirvImage src={imageSrc} alt={imageAlt}/>

The sirv base url is configured in the APP_PATHS object in /src/config/routes/index.js file. It can thus be used in other places in the app, programmatically to fetch images from sirv.

Next Image is not completely abandoned. It is still used for some images that are not hosted on sirv, and also more importantly, if we can supply all the required props to the image component. To use next image, in as image tags in components, use the NextImage component in the /src/components/NextImage folder. It wraps the next image component and takes the following props:

• src: The image source (required)
• alt: The image alt text (required)
• className: The image class name (optional)
• width: The image width (optional)
• height: The image height (optional)
• size: The image size (optional), this is used to set the width and height of the image to the same value
• role: The image role (optional but required for accessibility if the file type is an SVG)
• layout: The image layout (optional), this is used to set the layout of the image. It can be fill, fixed, intrinsic, responsive or none. The default is responsive
• priority: The image priority (optional), this is used to set the priority of the image. It can be true or false. The default is false
• quality: The image quality (optional), this is used to set the quality of the image. It can be a number between 0 and 100. The default is 75
• loading: The image loading (optional), this is used to set the loading of the image. It can be lazy, eager or auto. The default is lazy
• objectFit: The image object fit (optional), this is used to set the object fit of the image. It can be fill, contain, cover, none or scale-down. The default is cover
• objectPosition: The image object position (optional), this is used to set the object position of the image. It can be top, top-right, right, bottom-right, bottom, bottom-left, left, top-left or center. The default is center

<NextImage src={imageSrc} alt={imageAlt}/>
