The Quiz React SDK is a collection of React components and tools for building
applications built on top of the Instructure Quiz API service.
Getting Started
First, install all of the Docker prerequisites (VirtualBox, Docker, Dinghy/Dory):
Now you're ready to spin up the SDK docs application for development:
bin/dev-setup
docker-compose up -d web
open http://quiz.docker
Using Local Development Quiz API
The default development environment for the SDK uses a prebuilt docker image of
the Quiz API service. While working on the SDK, you will likely find that it's
necessary to hook it up with a local development version of the service.
In your quiz_api
repository, edit your docker-compose.override.yml
to enable
integration seeds. It should look something like this:
- ../quiz_web/integration:/usr/src/app/demo
Now run the integration seeds in your quiz_api
environment:
bin/seed-sdk-data.sh
The api's sdk seeding creates a json config file that is uploaded to S3. In order
to consume the config data quiz_web needs access to this url.
Back in your quiz_web
checkout, enable the CONFIG_URL
setting in your
docker-compose.override.yml
for the web
and integration
containers, by
uncommenting the following line in both locations:
CONFIG_URL: http://quiz.s3.docker/dev_uploads/sdk-demo/(development|test).config.json
Now restart your web (and integration) container(s) if they are already running:
docker-compose restart web integration
If you are developing quiz_web without docker, add the url to env:
export CONFIG_URL=http://quiz.s3.docker/dev_uploads/sdk-demo/development.config.json
and start thes server and go to localhost:8080
yarn run start
Running without Docker
While it's highly recommended you install and use Docker to work on the SDK,
there are a couple things that are more difficult to do within Docker, and you
may want to run the webpack-dev-server for the docs app outside of Docker. This
is often desired for better support of filesystem watchers, and for linking
development checkouts of NPM package dependencies.
Currently, the following versions of Node and Yarn are required:
- Node: 7.5.0 or later
- Yarn: 0.27.5 or later
With Node and Yarn installed, spin up webpack-dev-server locally by running:
yarn start
You can access the docs application at: http://localhost:8080
Staying Updated
Anytime your pull the latest changes to the SDK, you must also download the
latest NPM packages, and rebuild your docker images. This can be done like so:
git pull
bin/dev-update
If a standard dev-update
is still giving you trouble, run bin/table-flip
to
clear out some npm junk that might be getting in the way. It won't clear out any
of your data since we're just dealing with quiz_web here, so it's safe to run
without worrying too much about side effects.
Testing with local quiz-interactions
To override the quiz-interactions node module with a local copy, uncomment
the following line in your docker.compose.override.yml
, making sure the path
actually points to where you have the quiz_interactions project on your machine.
- ../quiz_interactions/__build__:/usr/src/app/node_modules/quiz-interactions
In order for there to actually be something in quiz_interactions/__build__
(which is what actually gets pulled in), you'll need to run either
yarn build
or yarn build:watch
in the quiz_interactions project.
After making those changes, you will need to restart the web container in order
for it to pick up the changes to the docker.compose.override.yml
.
Contributing
Commit Messages
We have some special tooling in place around commit messages. Please see the
committing docs for more details.
Code Formatting
We are using EditorConfig to help with code formatting. You should enable
support for EditorConfig in your favorite code editor.
Linting
Run yarn run lint
to lint the src dir.
We are using ESLint.
You might want to install this git pre-push hook to automatically lint changes:
cp hooks/pre-push.example .git/hooks/pre-push
You might need to globally install a few eslint packages, depending on your
environment. Here's a start:
yarn global add eslint babel-eslint eslint-config-standard{,-react} \
eslint-plugin-{format-message,react,mocha,standard,promise}
Internationalization
Any string that needs I18n will use formatMessage so that yarn can extract those
strings. If you have added any strings that you expect to be internationalized
to the project, be sure to run docker-compose run —rm web yarn run extract
to
have yarn extract the I18n strings.
Sublime Setup
If you use Sublime Text for your code editor, we recommend the following:
- Install the following plugins:
- Install NPM packages locally outside of Docker:
yarn install
- Restart Sublime Text
Styles
The app uses css modules with postcss. 'styles/variables.js' defined variables
which are automatically added to css files using the postcss-simple-vars loader.
If you add/change a variable, in order to see the change you'll need to rerun
webpack and restart the dev server.
Publishing a New Release
With an account that has the correct permissions on npmjs, run the following:
npm login
- Provide account details
npm publish
Verify you are running the prepublish script inside the docker container to
ensure you are using the correct version of Node.
