Front End Development

The front end uses React with USWDS components to deliver its experience

Prerequisites

The solution uses Node v14 for compatibility with the USWDS components. The version is included in the .nvmrc for those that use nvm to maintain versions

Optional - Working with local services

If you are developing against API code that has not been deployed, you can redirect the API calls to the services running in Docker.

The following environment variables should be set before building or running:

Environment Variable Applies to Likely value
URL_FORTUNES Fortune service http://localhost:9000
URL_NAMES Names service http://localhost:5000

The definitive list of names is in the webpack.config file

Building

npm install
npm run build

Executing

npm start

The application should be available at http://localhost:8080
