Server (BackEnd)

Installation

• run npm i in the terminal
• create a .env file with the following options

  REACT_APP_GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN=XXXXXXXXXXXX
  

  where:
  • *REACT_APP_GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN: Is your github access token.
• run npm start to run the server in development mode or run npm run build to build the server and then server it with another tool.

Testing

• Run npm i
• Run npm test

Dev Notes

• Since I've used React i choose jest for testing.
• Typescript for type-safe and better scalability
• Apollo client as "just go with it" library for graphql request.
• ChakraUI for fast prototyping in react. Through this library adds a complexity layer to the testing if youre not used to it.

Future Improvements

• Add E2E testing.
• If click on a topic that is already on the history go to that index (or move it to the end of the history) instead of adding it again.

Know issues

• ChrakraUI could be troublesome when testing. Its provider is not compatible with jest and its useToas needs to be mocked when in a testing environment (see utils/useToast.ts implementation).
