hawthorn-client

This is a React app, and the frontend application for Hawthorn.

Software dependencies

The following software must be installed prior to running hawthorn-server:

• git - This is for version control
• Node.js - Node is used for running hawthorn-client and installing dependent JavaScript packages using the npm command.

Set up a development environment

The following steps walk you through downloading hawthorn-client, installing some last minute packages, and running the server so that you can start coding. Please make a pull request if this process is incomplete or inaccurate, and open an issue if you cannot get things working.

Clone hawthorn-client

Download the source code and change directories into your freshly cloned hawthorn-client directory:

#If your `git` is configured with SSH:
git clone [email protected]:codefordenver/hawthorn-client.git && cd hawthorn-client
#If your `git` is configured with HTTPS:
git clone https://github.com/codefordenver/hawthorn-client.git && cd hawthorn-client

Create a configuration file

Configuration is managed in a JSON file.

Create configuration.json in the src/configuration directory:

touch src/configuration/configuration.json

Paste the following contents into src/configuration/configuration.json in your text editor:

{
  "graphqlServer": {
    "endpoint": "http://localhost:4000"
  }
}

Install Node and JavaScript packages

The following command installs the required packages that are specified in package.json:

npm install

Run the API server

Finally, start the hawthorn-client process:

npm start

You can verify that the application is running in your browser at http://localhost:3000/.

Available Scripts

In the project directory, you can run:

npm start

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.

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.
