This is a React app that uses the wonderful Star Wars API. The intention is to produce an app that allows you to navigate around the data in a variety of ways.
I used Node v10.13.0 and npm v6.4.1
This app was created using npx create-react-app swapiexplorer which generates a new readme file which you can read, here - however I soon 'ejected' the app
I have some goals for the project, mostly to do with learning these technologies in some depth. I use them at work, but I'd like to explore the range of implementation choices.
Yeah.
The SWAPI REST endpoint is where I'll start. I may skip thunks and start with sagas.
We have access to a SWAPI GraphQL endpoint so I'll also implement some Apollo based api calls
At work we use the HOC approach. I'm also going to use render props / component injection.
I'll be using Jest and Kent Dodds react-testing-library
I'll be having a look at puppeteer. I'm not sure it could be considered for integration testing, but I'll see how far it can be pushed.
I'll also have a look at Cypress.io as they provide a free to use test runner in addition to their paid insights dashboard. The free version may be useless without the dashboard, but I'll see...
It's good to document as you go - storybook brings the components and their behaviours into one place. It also facilitates creating components in isolation, which I'd like to try.
I'll also be turning this into a progressive web app, the basic requirements of which are:
- serve over HTTPS
- provide a manifest (create react app creates this at
/public/manifest.json) - register a
ServiceWorker
This repo will have explanatory readme files, but I intend to blog some details at webpusher.ie
