Welcome,

This is the Code Institute student template for React apps on a cloudbased IDE. We have preinstalled all of the tools you need to get started. It's perfectly ok to use this template as the basis for your project submissions.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT use this template if you are using the Gitpod IDE. Use the instructions in this repo instead.

You can safely delete this README.md file, or change it for your own project. Please do read it at least once, though! It contains some important information about this template and the extensions we use. Some of this information has been updated since the video content was created. The last update to this file was: 13th November, 2023

IDE Reminders

In most cloudbased IDEs, you have superuser security privileges by default. Therefore you do not need to use the sudo (superuser do) command in the bash terminal in any of the lessons.

To log into the Heroku toolbelt CLI:

1. Log in to your Heroku account and go to Account Settings in the menu under your avatar.
2. Scroll down to the API Key and click Reveal
3. Copy the key
4. In your IDE, from the terminal, run heroku_config
5. Paste in your API key when asked

You can now use the heroku CLI program - try running heroku apps to confirm it works. This API key is unique and private to you so do not share it. If you accidentally make it public then you can create a new one with Regenerate API Key.

Getting Started with Create React App

This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.

Available Scripts

In the project directory, you can run:

npm install

Installs the required npm packages.

npm start

Runs the app in the development mode.
Open port 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.

npm test

Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.
See the section about running tests for more information.

npm run build

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.

npm run eject

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.
