Calculator for low income Canadians approaching retirement age to understand whether (and by how much) they would be better off cashing out their RRSPs before 65 based on GIS eligibility and income.
This project was inspired by an episode of the Mostly Money podcast on The upside-down world of financial planning for low-income Canadians.
- Install the Node.js version as specified in .nvmrc file in root of this project. The recommended way to install Node is with nvm (Mac, Linux) or nvm-windows (Windows).
- From project root, install the dependencies (only needed once or whenever dependencies change):
$ npm install
- Install editorconfig plugin for whatever editor/IDE you're using.
- Install prettier plugin for whatever editor/IDE you're using (VS Code users - disable Beautify plugin if you have it for this project workspace)
- Start a development server - this will open a new browser tab at http://localhost:3000
$ npm start
- Open another terminal tab and run tests, keep this tab open during development, the tests will re-run whenever any related files are modified:
$ npm testThanks to BrowserStack for their support of this open-source project.
In the project directory, you can run:
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.
Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.
See the section about running tests for more information.
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.
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.
