ShowFace

Overview

https://showface.io

ShowFace is comprised of 2 projects: a Prisma Node.js server (repo at https://github.com/WotFace/showface-graphql-server and hosted at https://api.showface.io) and a React web app.

This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.

Below you will find some information on how to perform common tasks.
You can find the most recent version of this guide here.

Setup

Make sure you have Node.js >=9 and Yarn installed.

1. Run yarn to install dependencies.
2. Create a .env file from the example: cp .env.example .env.
3. Set REACT_APP_API_SERVER_ENDPOINT to the URL of the API server. You can use https://api.showface.io.
4. Set REACT_APP_FIREBASE_API_KEY.
5. (Optional) Set up Google Analytics and set REACT_APP_GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_ID.

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.

Supported Browsers

By default, the generated project uses the latest version of React.

You can refer to the React documentation for more information about supported browsers.

Supported Language Features and Polyfills

This project supports a superset of the latest JavaScript standard.
In addition to ES6 syntax features, it also supports:

• Exponentiation Operator (ES2016).
• Async/await (ES2017).
• Object Rest/Spread Properties (stage 3 proposal).
• Dynamic import() (stage 3 proposal)
• Class Fields and Static Properties (part of stage 3 proposal).
• JSX and Flow syntax.

Learn more about different proposal stages.

While we recommend using experimental proposals with some caution, Facebook heavily uses these features in the product code, so we intend to provide codemods if any of these proposals change in the future.

Note that the project only includes a few ES6 polyfills:

• Object.assign() via object-assign.
• Promise via promise.
• fetch() via whatwg-fetch.

If you use any other ES6+ features that need runtime support (such as Array.from() or Symbol), make sure you are including the appropriate polyfills manually, or that the browsers you are targeting already support them.

Also note that using some newer syntax features like for...of or [...nonArrayValue] causes Babel to emit code that depends on ES6 runtime features and might not work without a polyfill. When in doubt, use Babel REPL to see what any specific syntax compiles down to.
