npm install
npm start
Visit port 3000 on your development machine.
Make some changes.
npm run lint to check your code for linting errors.

Tech Stack

View: React
State Management: Redux
CSS: styled-components

Workflow

If you're interested in contributing regularly, let us know and we'll add you to the organization.
The master branch is automatically deployed to the stage environment: https://stage.opendota.com
We'll periodically ship releases to production: https://www.opendota.com

Notes

You don't have to set up the entire stack (databases, etc.), or worry about getting starter data, since the UI points to the production API.
Use the configuration to point to your own API (if you are working on a new feature and want to start building the UI before it's deployed to production).

Testing

BrowserStack have been kind enough to provide us with a free account for Live and Automate. We will be using Automate in the future to run automatic end-to-end testing.

BrowserStack is a cloud-based cross-browser testing tool that enables developers to test their websites across various browsers on different operating systems and mobile devices, without requiring users to install virtual machines, devices or emulators.
