Getting Started

• Make sure you have nvm installed.
• Run nvm use in the root of the project to switch to the correct version of Node.
• Run yarn deps to install all dependencies.
• Install Redis: brew install redis
• Start redis: brew services start redis
• Run yarn dev to get started. Alternatively, you can run each process in a separate terminal tab using yarn u in one tab and yarn a in the other.

Dev Tasks

Below are some common tasks for development:

• Start the ui server: yarn server -u -w (Alias: yarn u)
• Start the api server: yarn server -a -w (Alias: yarn a)
• Run ui unit tests: yarn test -u -w
• Run api unit tests: yarn test -a -w
• Lint the ui code: yarn lint -u -f
• Lint the api code: yarn lint -a -f
• Format the ui code: yarn format -u
• Format the api code: yarn format -a
• Lint and Format the codebase: yarn ff

You can change these aliases in the package.json file located in the root of the project.

To see the list of available tasks, run yarn task --help. To see details about each available task, run yarn task <task name> --help. For example, yarn task server --help will print details on starting the server. All the tasks are documented in the files ending with .task in the tasks folder.
