Getting Started with Enhanced Preprints Client

This project was bootstrapped with Create React App, then Next.JS added following https://nextjs.org/docs/migrating/from-create-react-app

Prerequisites

Before getting started, you should have nvm installed on your machine to get the latest version of node. Run the following commands:

nvm install nvm use

Then you can install the dependencies via running yarn

Running the unit tests

To run the unit tests, run yarn test.

Running the browser tests

To run the browser tests, bring up the application with docker compose up --wait

When the application is up, run yarn test:browser.

Visual regression

To run visual regression testing, bring up the application with docker compose up --wait

When the application is up, run yarn visual-regression:test.

To approve changes, use yarn visual-regression:approve.

Linting Typescript - yarn lint or yarn lint:fix

To identify issues with Typescript, run yarn lint, to attempt to automatically fix the issues run yarn lint:fix

Linting sass - yarn lint-sass or yarn lint-sass:fix

To identify issues with sass, run yarn lint-sass, to attempt to automatically fix the issues run yarn lint-sass:fix

Development build - docker compose up

To get started with a full development environment for the application, run docker compose up and visit port localhost:8080. This will hot reload modules, styles and other things, but javascript is a requirement. The unproxied application server is viewable at localhost:3000.

The EPP API server can be viewed at localhost:3001

You can also view a rudimentary mongodb GUI client at localhost:8081

Set the SITE_NAME to allow for site specific overrides

NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_NAME=elife docker compose up

Development build with local API - SERVER_DIR="../your-directory-here" docker compose -f docker-compose.yaml -f docker-compose.localserver.yaml up

To start the application with a local version of the EPP API server so you can run the application and test local changes of the API, you need to define an environment variable SERVER_DIR with the location of your EPP API server project, i.e. SERVER_DIR="../enhanced-preprints-server", then run the above command to invoke the .localserver ovverides.

production build - docker compose -f docker-compose.yaml -f docker-compose.prod.yaml up

To be able to see exactly what a production build will look and behave like, but using local services, we have provided an override command. You can use the command above to start the dev environment, but with the app server behaving like production would, for example without javascript and without incremental builds. This is not recommended for development, only for spot checking for differences between a prod build and dev build. The app is still available at localhost:8080.

Storybook

You can run storybook locally using yarn storybook. It should auto-reload as you develop stories or components

Recreating an issue experienced on production

When we are experiencing an issue in production that results in a kaboom then recreating the issue locally can be a quick and effective way to diagnose the problem.

API_SERVER=https://prod--epp.elifesciences.org IIIF_SERVER=https://prod--epp.elifesciences.org/iiif docker compose up app

Then access client on http://localhost:3001
