Testing React Apps

Play around with the demo app!

If you'd like to play around with the demo app you can do so at this link: https://benjamminj.github.io/testing-react-apps-talk/

Getting up and running

If you want to get the demo up and running locally, the fastest way is to check out the project on CodeSandbox! If you haven't used CodeSandbox, it's an online IDE that has everything pre-installed and ready to go! All you've got to do is click the link and you're up and running!

If you'd prefer to run the code on your own computer, you can get up and running with the following steps:

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/benjamminj/testing-react-apps-talk.git
cd testing-react-apps-talk

Install dependencies

If you're not using Yarn, I'd recommend installing it to make sure you get exactly the same dependencies as this project! If you've got Yarn installed, you can add all the project's dependencies with the following command:

# in the testing-react-apps-talk folder
yarn

Run locally!

This will get the app running in a local environment that you can play around with!

yarn start

Run the tests!

Since this is a testing workshop, I'd be remiss if I didn't include how to run the tests! You can run the tests with the following command:

yarn test

Troubleshooting

If there's things going wrong, this project is built on top of Create React App. My guess is that we'll be able to find any issues through looking at their docs 🙃
