Introduction
============

Onion is the web client for Ascribe. The idea is to have a well documented,
easy to test, easy to hack, JavaScript application.

The code is JavaScript ECMA 6.


Getting started
===============

```bash
git clone git@bitbucket.org:ascribe/onion.git
cd onion
npm install
npm run watch
```

Code Conventions
================
For this project, we're using:

* 4 Spaces
* We use ES6
* We don't use ES6's class declaration for React components because it does not support Mixins as well as Autobinding ([Blog post about it](http://facebook.github.io/react/blog/2015/01/27/react-v0.13.0-beta-1.html#autobinding))
* We don't use camel case for file naming but in everything Javascript related
* We use `let` instead of `var`: [SA Post](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/762011/javascript-let-keyword-vs-var-keyword) 


Troubleshooting
===============

Q: OMG nothing works
A: try `npm install`. Someone may have updated some dependencies
