First step is to fork this repo to your account, then clone it locally.
-
Once you clone locally, open the project in your editor (VS Code), open the terminal and run
npm install -
run
npm testand it should tell you that all 9 test suites failed -
There are 9 exercises. Each exercise has a
exercise.jsandexercise.test.jsfiles. The tests should explain to you what the exercise output should be, but there is also explanation on top ofexercise.jsfile. We have written the tests and you need to write code to make the tests pass (turn them from red to green)- Write an extra test for each exercise
-
Once you finish the first exercise, push it to your repo, and open a Pull Request
-
Commit often: Every time you finish one exercise, add it, commit it and push it to your repo so that the PR gets updated.
There is also a DOM exercise where you will use the Giphy API to search for trending Gifs and display them in the Browser. Instructions are in 09.dom/index.html
The exercise involve a set of tests that we will write code to make them pass. You can run one specific test by specifying a unique part of its file name, for example, you can run the first set of exercises with a watch with npm test -- opposite --watch and the watch will make it run continuously when you save a file (you can drop the watch if you'd like and just run it manually npm test -- opposite will run the tests with opposite in the file path).
A good way to work is:
- run the specifc test in watch mode, i.e.
npm test -- opposite --watch - the tests will be red initially, i.e. tests are failing (make sure they ran and they're failing - red)
- open the code file (next to the test), and start writing code to make the code pass
- every time you save, the tests should run again
- at the end, the tests will pass
- when the test pass, then it is your change to
refactorthe code - make it better internally without changing the outside behaviour - close the tests in terminal (
ctrl+c) then move to the next file (i.e.npm test -- 01. --watch)
