File Overview

  • src/index.js:
    • Renders the element defined in Presenter.js
  • src/Presenter.js:
    • There is only one instance of Presenter used
    • Its responsibilities are:
      • deciding which view is visible to the user
      • preparing data for the views
      • handling transitions from one view to another
  • src/constants.js:
    • Contants used throughout the project
  • src/global.js
    • Variables (can change) used throughout the project
    • This is a clean way for Presenter.js to provide data to views
      • this minimizes the amount that must be passed to child components through props
  • src/views
    • A folder containing all of the views
  • src/components
    • A folder containing components that the views are composed of
  • src/models
    • A folder with functions to access/manipulate data from other sources
    • index.js has all the functions, but delegates their implementations to backend.js and cache.js
  • src/data
    • A folder with functions for packaging up data into the desired format
    • Typically, these functions make use of what is returned from functions in src/models
  • src/assets
    • A folder for graphics
  • public/images/bg
    • A folder for the various backgrounds our views use

This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.

Available Scripts

In the project directory, you can run:

npm start

Runs the app in the development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.

The page will reload if you make edits.
You will also see any lint errors in the console.

npm test

Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.
See the section about running tests for more information.

npm run build

Builds the app for production to the build folder.
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.

The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.
Your app is ready to be deployed!

See the section about deployment for more information.

npm run eject

Note: this is a one-way operation. Once you eject, you can’t go back!

If you aren’t satisfied with the build tool and configuration choices, you can eject at any time. This command will remove the single build dependency from your project.

Instead, it will copy all the configuration files and the transitive dependencies (Webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc) right into your project so you have full control over them. All of the commands except eject will still work, but they will point to the copied scripts so you can tweak them. At this point you’re on your own.

You don’t have to ever use eject. The curated feature set is suitable for small and middle deployments, and you shouldn’t feel obligated to use this feature. However we understand that this tool wouldn’t be useful if you couldn’t customize it when you are ready for it.
