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
|
|
===============
|
|
Install some nice extensions for Chrom(e|ium):
|
|
|
|
- [Allow-Control-Allow-Origin](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/allow-control-allow-origi/nlfbmbojpeacfghkpbjhddihlkkiljbi):
|
|
we need this to open connection to external hosts ([staging.ascribe.io](http://staging.ascribe.io/) in our case).
|
|
Please note that there is an [open issue](https://github.com/vitvad/Access-Control-Allow-Origin/issues/22) that prevents the extension to save the changes in the "intercepted URL or URL pattern". You can follow [this workaround](https://github.com/vitvad/Access-Control-Allow-Origin/issues/22#issuecomment-109898052) to fix the problem.
|
|
- [React Developer Tools](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/react-developer-tools/fmkadmapgofadopljbjfkapdkoienihi)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone git@bitbucket.org:ascribe/onion.git
|
|
cd onion
|
|
npm install
|
|
gulp serve
|
|
```
|

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)
|
|
|
|
Testing
|
|
===============
|
|
We're using Facebook's jest to do testing as it integrates nicely with react.js as well.
|
|
|
|
Tests are always created per directory by creating a `__tests__` folder. To test a specific file, a `<file_name>_tests.js` file needs to be created.
|
|
|
|
Since we're using mixed syntax, test files are not linted using ES6Lint.
|
|
This is due to the fact that jest's function mocking and ES6 module syntax are [fundamentally incompatible](https://github.com/babel/babel-jest/issues/16).
|
|
|
|
Therefore, to require a module in your test file, you need to use CommonJS's `require` syntax. Except for this, all tests can be written in ES6 syntax.
|
|
|
|
## Workflow
|
|
Generally, when you're runing `gulp serve`, all tests are being run.
|
|
If you want to test exclusively (without having the obnoxious ES6Linter warnings), you can just run `gulp jest:watch`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Troubleshooting
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
Q: OMG nothing works
|
|
|
|
A: try `npm install`. Someone may have updated some dependencies
