The Travel Planner App is a one-page web app. Users are able to insert their anticipated travelling dates and location, and from that receive predicted weather and a picture of the location.
This project makes extensive use of the webpack build tool. It is highly recommended that those contributing use the webpack dev server, which is outlined below. Learn more about getting started with webpack here.
This project requires node.js. If you don't have it installed already, you can
find instructions for downloading it here.
Once you have node installed, download the required dependencies from
package.json by typing the following in your terminal:
npm install
Run the following in your terminal:
npm run build-prod
The build will be generated in dist/.
Run the following in your terminal:
npm run build-dev
The build will be generated in dist/.
Run the following in your terminal:
npm run dev-server
The dev server will automatically open a new window with src/client/index.html
loaded. The dev server watches all files that are linked to src/client/index.js
and allows for awesome features like hot reload. More information can be found
here. Please note that even
if you are using the dev server, you still need to start the backend server (see
below).
Run the following in your terminal:
npm run express-server
This will run the express server on port 3001. You can then access the landing
page at http://localhost:3001/.
Run the following in your terminal:
npm run test
This will run the jest tests in the tests/ directory.
