Getting Started

To get a local copy up and running follow these steps:

Getting Started with Create React App

This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.

Available Scripts

In the project directory, you can run:

npm start

Runs the app in the development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in your browser.

The page will reload when you make changes.
You may also see any lint errors in the console.

npm run 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!

See the section about deployment for more information.

Prerequisites

You need an IDE of your choice (preferably Visual Studio Code). You will need a browser (preferably Chrome) to view the webpage. You need to have installed npm and JSON-server on your local machine.

Setup

Clone the project using these links depending on your local environment using https or ssh

Install

• After a successful clone, move into the project directory and run npm install to install the required node modules

• Next, run json-server --watch db.json to boot the server/backend

• Then run npm start to start the react app.

• If you haven't installed json-server, use npm -i -g json-server to install the server on a global scope

• Open terminal and navigate into the project root folder, run ls to check if a file db.json is present then run json-server --watch db.json to start the server.

Usage

• Make sure your json-server is running for the app to work as intended.
• The project requires an internet connection to work because information is fetched from an external source.
