HedgeDoc - React Client

This is the new, improved and better looking frontend for HedgeDoc 2.0. Our goal is to recreate the current frontend in react and to improve it.

Preparation

You need at least Node 12 (we recommend Node 16) and yarn.

Development mode

1. Clone this repo (e.g. git clone https://github.com/hedgedoc/react-client.git hedgedoc-react-client)
2. Go inside the repo (e.g. cd hedgedoc-react-client)
3. Run yarn install
4. Either run
   • yarn start - Calls only mocked version of the api. Doesn't need a HedgeDoc backend.
   • yarn start:for-real-backend - Expects a HedgeDoc backend server running under http://localhost:3000)

This should run the app in the development mode and open http://localhost:3001 in your browser.

The page will reload if you make edits. You will also see any lint errors in the console.

Tests

Unit

Unit testing is done via jest.

1. Run yarn test

End2End

We use cypress for e2e tests.

1. Start the frontend with yarn start:test in dev test mode or build a test build with yarn build:test which you can serve with yarn serve:build Don't use the regular start/build command, or the tests will fail!
2. Run yarn cy:open to open the cypress test loader
3. Choose your browser and test
4. Let the tests run

Bundle analysis

You can inspect the generated production-bundle files to look for optimization issues.

1. Run yarn analyze
2. Open the generated build/report.html in your favourite browser

Production mode

1. Clone this repo (e.g. git clone https://github.com/hedgedoc/react-client.git hedgedoc-react-client)
2. Go inside the repo (e.g. cd hedgedoc-react-client)
3. Run yarn install
4. Run yarn build:production

This will build the app in production mode and save it into the build folder. The production build is optimized for best performance, minimized and the filenames include a hash value of the content. Don't edit them by hand!
