Build an Epic React App 🚀 EpicReact.Dev

  

    Building a full React application

  

  


    The React and JavaScript ecosystem is full of tools and libraries to help

    you build your applications. In this (huge) workshop we’ll build an

    application from scratch using widely supported and proven tools and

    techniques. We’ll cover everything about building frontend React

    applications, from the absolute basics to the tricky parts you'll run into

    building real world React apps and how to create great abstractions.

## Prerequisites

- You'll want experience with React before going through this material. The

  lessons get progressively more advanced. Once you hit something you're

  unfamiliar with, that's your cue to go back and review the other parts of

  EpicReact.Dev.

> NOTE: The EpicReact.dev videos were recorded with React version ^16.13 and all

> material in this repo has been updated to React version ^18. Differences are

> minor and any relevant differences are noted in the instructions.

## System Requirements

- [git][git] v2.13 or greater

- [NodeJS][node] `>=16`

- [npm][npm] v8.16.0 or greater

All of these must be available in your `PATH`. To verify things are set up

properly, you can run this:

```shell

git --version

node --version

npm --version

```

If you have trouble with any of these, learn more about the PATH environment

variable and how to fix it here for [windows][win-path] or

[mac/linux][mac-path].

## Demo

Hosted on [https://bookshelf.lol](https://bookshelf.lol)

## Setup

> If you want to commit and push your work as you go, you'll want to

> [fork](https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/getting-started-with-github/fork-a-repo)

> first and then clone your fork rather than this repo directly.

After you've made sure to have the correct things (and versions) installed, you

should be able to just run a few commands to get set up:

```

git clone https://github.com/kentcdodds/bookshelf.git

cd bookshelf

node setup

```

This may take a few minutes.

If you get any errors, please read through them and see if you can find out what

the problem is. If you can't work it out on your own then please [file an

issue][issue] and provide _all_ the output from the commands you ran (even if

it's a lot).

If you can't get the setup script to work, then just make sure you have the

right versions of the requirements listed above, and run the following commands:

```

npm install

npm run validate

```

If you are still unable to fix issues and you know how to use Docker 🐳 you can

setup the project with the following command:

```

docker-compose up

```

It's recommended you run everything locally in the same environment you work in

every day, but if you're having issues getting things set up, you can also set

this up using [GitHub Codespaces](https://github.com/features/codespaces)

([video demo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCoVJm3hGk4)) or

[Codesandbox](https://codesandbox.io/s/github/kentcdodds/bookshelf).

## Running the app

To get the app up and running (and really see if it worked), run:

```shell

npm start

```

This should start up your browser. If you're familiar, this is a standard

[react-scripts](https://create-react-app.dev/) application.

You can also open the production deployment:

[bookshelf.lol](https://bookshelf.lol).

## Running the tests

```shell

npm test

```

This will start [Jest](https://jestjs.io/) in watch mode. Read the output and

play around with it. The tests are there to help you reach the final version,

however _sometimes_ you can accomplish the task and the tests still fail if you

implement things differently than I do in my solution, so don't look to them as

a complete authority.

## Working through the exercises

To get started, run:

```shell

node go

```

This will allow you to choose which exercise you want to work on. From there,

open the `INSTRUCTIONS.md` file and follow the instructions.

If you'd like to work on an extra credit, but you want to skip the preceding

steps, you can run `node go` again:

```shell

node go

```

This will let you choose the next exercise or you can choose which part of the

exercise you'd like to work on. This will update your `exercise` files to the

correct version for you to work on that extra credit.

### Exercises

The exercises are in different branches. Each branch changes the

`INSTRUCTIONS.md` file to contain instructions you need to complete the

exercise.

The purpose of the exercise is **not** for you to work through all the material.

It's intended to get your brain thinking about the right questions to ask me as

_I_ walk through the material.

### Helpful Emoji 🐨 💰 💯 📝 🦉 📜 💣 💪 🏁 👨‍💼 🚨

Each exercise has comments in it to help you get through the exercise. These fun

emoji characters are here to help you.

- **Kody the Koala** 🐨 will tell you when there's something specific you should

  do version

- **Marty the Money Bag** 💰 will give you specific tips (and sometimes code)

  along the way

- **Hannah the Hundred** 💯 will give you extra challenges you can do if you

  finish the exercises early.

- **Nancy the Notepad** 📝 will encourage you to take notes on what you're

  learning

- **Olivia the Owl** 🦉 will give you useful tidbits/best practice notes and a

  link for elaboration and feedback.

- **Dominic the Document** 📜 will give you links to useful documentation

- **Berry the Bomb** 💣 will be hanging around anywhere you need to blow stuff

  up (delete code)

- **Matthew the Muscle** 💪 will indicate that you're working with an exercise

- **Chuck the Checkered Flag** 🏁 will indicate that you're working with a final

- **Peter the Product Manager** 👨‍💼 helps us know what our users want

- **Alfred the Alert** 🚨 will occasionally show up in the test failures with

  potential explanations for why the tests are failing.

### Workflow

- Checkout the exercise branch

- Read through the `INSTRUCTIONS.md`

- Start exercise

- Go through every mentioned file and follow the instructions from the emoji

- We all come back together

- I go through the solution and answer questions

- Move on to the next exercise.

- Repeat.

### App Data Model

- User

  - id: string

  - username: string

- List Item

  - id: string

  - bookId: string

  - ownerId: string

  - rating: number (-1 is no rating, otherwise it's 1-5)

  - notes: string

  - startDate: number (`Date.now()`)

  - finishDate: number (`Date.now()`)

> For convenience, our friendly backend engineers also return a `book` object on

> each list item which is the book it's associated to. Thanks backend folks!

> /me wishes we could use GraphQL

If your "database" gets out of whack, you can purge it via:

```javascript

window.__bookshelf.purgeUsers()

window.__bookshelf.purgeListItems()

```

- Book

  - id: string

  - title: string

  - author: string

  - coverImageUrl: string

  - pageCount: number

  - publisher: string

  - synopsis: string

## Troubleshooting

  

  Running "node go" does not list any branches

  

This means there was something wrong when you ran the setup.

> If you made your own fork of `bookshelf` through GitHub, you may have only got

> the `main` branch -- that's the default option

Add a new `upstream` remote

```

git remote add upstream https://github.com/kentcdodds/bookshelf.git

```

> You might get an `error: remote upstream already exists.` -- no problem!

Track all the branches from that original repository

```

git push origin --tags "refs/remotes/upstream/*:refs/heads/*"

```
