React Tutorial

Overview

This repo provides the skeleton for a basic clone of Twitter in full-stack JavaScript (Node.js for back-end, React.js for front-end).

The project includes a simple Node server that serves static data from the pseudo database (the static file tweets.json) when fetching data, and writes to that same pseudo database when posting data.

It also includes the scaffolding for a React front-end, which you will be filling in throughout the seminar.

Before Getting Started

Make sure you have node and npm installed.

brew install node
brew update

node -v
npm -v

Getting Started

npm install
npm start

Visit http://localhost:3000/ to see the project up and running.

Developing

• Run npm run compile in a separate terminal window while coding to compile all JSX into JavaScript in the final bundle (webpack configuration can be found at webpack.config.js)
