2020 Junior Devs Project - Earth Academy

2020 collaboration project for members of the Junior Devs group

Purpose of this project

The main goal of this project is to enable members of the Junior Devs group to collaborate and learn valuable skills such as remote collaboration, practice their programming skills, learn new frameworks, and add a nice project to their portfolio, among other things.

All members of the group had a chance to add their ideas for a project to work on together, and we finally decided on one via a poll on the Telegram group. The details of the project are below.

In the following days we will discuss how the work will be organized and more information will be added to this repository.

Backend

• See here how to set up the local database.
• In the main directory, run npm install
• Run npm start. If all went well you should see "NodeJS Server Running"

Frontend

• cd frontend
• Run npm install (the frontend and backend are two separate projects with separate package.json files, so you need to do this again inside the frontend directory
• Run npm run dev. If all went well, you should see "Server running at http://localhost:1234". You can now open the project at http://localhost:1234.

*** Important ***: There is a HelloWorld.jsx sample component with its corresponding test file (HelloWorld.spec.jsx) and story (HelloWorld.stories.jsx). DO NOT delete these, they are there as templates to help you and others get started.

To run Storybook:

• cd frontend if you're not already in the frontend directory
• Run npm run storybook. The browser will open up with Storybook.
