patternfly-react-demo-app

The PatternFly React demo app serves as a demo for building your production app with Patternfly, PatternFly React, Redux, and React Router.

Running demo: https://patternfly-react-demo-app.firebaseapp.com/#/

This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.

The most recent version of the create-react-app guide can be found here for further customizations to this boilerplate.

Quick Setup

Note If you do not have yarn installed run: npm install -g yarn

Run the following commands:

yarn install
yarn build
yarn start

Deployment

You can deploy the app to Open Shift using the following commands:

oc new-project patternfly-react
find . | grep openshiftio | grep application | xargs -n 1 oc apply -f
oc new-app --template demo-app -p SOURCE_REPOSITORY_URL=https://github.com/patternfly/patternfly-react-demo-app

You can also create a Docker image using the following:

yarn docker:build

Styling w/ Sass and Patternfly

PatternFly Sass was added via the Create React App Preprocessor Guide. All Patternfly build assets are copied to src so that they may be included in the default create-react-app build. The App.scss file will include all PatternFly Sass along with PatternFly React Sass extensions. Once Sass compiles, the resulting CSS can be found in src/App.css.

Note Only static assets which are import'ed into your application will be included in your resulting build output. I.e. import './App.css'; will ensure App.css is included.

Available Scripts

In the project directory, you can run:

yarn start

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.

yarn test

Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.

yarn build

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!

yarn eject

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.

Prettier for VSCode

If you are using Visual Studio Code as your code editor of choice, there is a package extension that will allow you to format your JavaScript/TypeScript/CSS using Prettier.

Prettier VSCode Installation

You can install the prettier extension by searching for Prettier - Code formatter

Visual Studio Code Market Place: Prettier - Code formatter

Upon installation you can begin using prettier through the command palette:

1. CMD + Shift + P -> Format Document
OR
1. Select the text you want to Prettify
2. CMD + Shift + P -> Format Selection

Note If you don't like the defaults, you can rebind editor.action.formatDocument and editor.action.formatSelection in the keyboard shortcuts menu of vscode.**

More information on prettier for vscode can be found here: https://github.com/prettier/prettier-vscode
