React Social Network 🚀 Version NEXT! 🚀

The React Social Network is an open source project relying on React a powerful javascript library for building the user interface. In this project, I tried to show some features of react/react components as a social network. The structure of this project give the ability to developer to develop their project on their own idea and environment.

🌟New Upgrade :

React Social Network is moving on redux-saga however we keep redux-thunk version of React Social Network in branch name v0.5. Any contribution would be greatly appreciated by ❤️.

Before Starting

First of all this is a boilerplate react social and the purpose is to find the best way to implement a huge project such as social network by React . We learn what technology or algorithm could be better solution for our project by React. Please approach to this project with these ideas and if you feel that you have better solution, to our great pleasure if we could have your contribution.

You are the person who is new to React and you are looking for some ideas to start React with some basic stuff. Also you are the fan of React Semantic UI I recommend you start with React Blog Project.
You are the person who has the base knowledge of React which provided in React Blog Project and you are the fan of social network projects, Material-UI. You are the person who love JS/JSX. js-react-social-tutorial project will be recommended.
You are the fan of pure Redux with redux-thunk, TypeScript, InversifyJS IOC container and you have the knowledge enough about the stuff in js-react-social-tutorial. Version 0.5.0 branch of react-social-network is the place you can find yourself.
You are in advanced level of React and you are in love with learning advanced stuff about React such Async Component/Lazy loading, redux-saga and other cool stuff, well come you here. We are going ahead.👍

Love Open Social

Required Knowledge

I recommend that you get to know React before using React Social Network. React Social Network has built by React components, so understanding how React fits into web development is important.

Roadmap

Supporting diverse data platforms

Platform	Accessible
Firebase/Firestore	👍
Amazon Web Service (AWS)	On Developing ⚡
Azure	Future Support ⭐
ASP.NET Core	On Developing ⚡

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

Prerequisites

Install NodeJs

Note

If you're using Windows you should install all node-gyp dependencies with following commands:

$ npm install --global --production windows-build-tools and then install the package

$ npm install --global node-gyp

Installing

Fork the react-social-network repository on Github

Clone your fork to your local machine

git clone git@github.com:<yourname>/react-social-network.git

Go to the project root directory
```
cd react-social-network
```
To install node dependencies use

npm install

yarn install

Choose and install your backend before installing UI. React Network is able to be connected with every backend. Here we are developing some and you should choose one.

Firestore Social Backend
- Configure firebase:
  - If you don't have firebase account, follow Create firebase account
  - Create Project open the Firebase Console and create a new project.
  - Enable Firestore
  - Enable firebase storage Go to firebase console. Click on your project name. In DEVELOP menu choose Storage. Click on GET STARTED. In dialog click on GOT IT.
  - Get firebase config Go to firebase console. Click on your project name. In Project Overview page click on Add Firebase to your web app. In dialog box copy var config = <copy this area> configuration key/value. Open config file react-social-network root directory in src/config/environment.dev.ts. Pate your config in firebase : <paste here>.
  - Enable Email/Password Authentication sign-in on firebase:
    - In the Firebase console, open the Auth section.
    - On the Sign in method tab, enable the Email/password sign-in method and click Save.
  - Enable OAuth We are supporting sign-in with Github, Google and Facebook. Following firebase document you can enable each one you need.
  - Install Firestore Social Backend Follow instruction of Firestore Social Backend
- Enable firestore dependencies
  - Go to React Social Network folder in src/socialEngine.ts write useFirestore(provider) to enable firestore dependencies!
AWS Social Backend
- Coming soon ...
ASP.NET Social Backend
- Coming soon ...
Go ahead ;)
```
npm start
```

What is new? 🌟

Structure

New structure could make the project easy to change and scale up. There are three main layers:

Core
- Domain
- Providing interface for data services
Data
This layer provide supporting variety of data platforms such as Firebase, AWS, ... .
- FirestoreClient
- AwsClient
- AspNetClient
- ...
Components
This layer take care of user interface which on React and in [react-mobile-social] on React Native. It means the only thing change here among these three layers on mobile app, is component layer.

IOC Container

Using InversifyJS in project give us the ability to switch between custom dependencies easily. Specially for data layer, if you are the user working with AWS you only need to call useAws() or using Firebase call useFirestore() in SocialEngine file.

Features

We moved from custom webpack to create-react-app.
Moving on redux-saga managing async request and side effects.
Supporting Async Component/Lazy loading for each container.
Support Localization by react-localize-redux. Providing this feature we support variety of languages. To contribute ❤️ your language you are able to add your local language. You only need to edit en.json from react-social-network root project and src/locale/en.json. You should name your file according ISO 639-1 Language Codes. For example for Spanish you should name es.json. Which es is the standard code of Spanish language.
InversifyJS as IOC container
Add auto compile on changing code for webpack
Open browser on after compiling on npm start. You need to set PORT=[PORT_NUMBER] in config file.
Add reset password, confirm password and authorizing by GitHub, Google and Facebook.
Add scroll auto loading for show posts and people pages.
Using Firestore
Supportig Right To Left
Some cool stuff :)

Can I connect React Social Network to other data platforms ?

Your server side is on PHP, Java,ASP.NET, Python, etc. Or you are using serverless platforms such as Google Cloud, AWS, Azure, etc. You can connect React Social Network to any data platform. You only need to implement the interfaces of core services like implementation of firestoreClient.

There are a summary steps of creating your own dataClients. We assume that we want to implement for PHP backend.

You need to know about TypeScript and implementing interfaces which I recommend take a look at this article.
You can get help from other dataClient implementation for your backend algorithm and also using core domain for the backend domain could be helpful.

Create a folder in data layer name phpClient.
Create a folder in /phpClient folder name services then in services folder create some folders following core/services folder such as services/votes, services/posts and etc.
In each folder inside /phpClient/services/* folder you should implement following interfaces in core/services/* folder in file with appropriate name. For example we need to implement IPostService from core/services/posts/IPostService.ts in data/phpClient/services/posts/PostService.ts file.
After implementing interfaces for services layer. We should register the dependencies for our phpClient services. Create a file in phpClient folder name dependecyRegisterar.ts.
Following firestoreClient dependencies, add a function name usePhp() and bind dependencies in the the function. For example for PostService class add container.bind<IPostService>(SocialProviderTypes.PostService).to(PostService). Here SocialProviderTypes has the identifier of each service. To learn more take a look at inversify docs.
Finally call registering dependencies function for in socialEngine file.
Enjoy ;)

😍 It also would be great if you could contribute your clientData and backend with us to be part of this contribution. We would appreciate any conntribution.:thumbsup:

Deployment

In command line of [react-social-network] root project, type firebase login. This command connects your local machine to your Firebase account and grants access to your projects. To test that authentication worked, you can run firebase list to see a list of all of your Firebase projects. The list should be the same as the projects listed at Firebase console.
Be sure the name of firebase project for [react-social-network] and this project is same. You also need to check .firebaserc if you set correct project name in default field of projects field.
```
npm run deploy:firebase
```

React A javascript library for building user interfaces.
Redux is a predictable state container for JavaScript apps.
Material-UI A Set of React Components that Implement Google's Material Design.
react-redux Official React bindings for Redux.
Firebase products like Analytics, Realtime Database, Messaging, and Crash Reporting let you move quickly and focus on your users.
redux-saga is a library that aims to make application side effects (i.e. asynchronous things like data fetching and impure things like accessing the browser cache) easier to manage, more efficient to execute, simple to test, and better at handling failures.
redux-thunk Redux Thunk middleware allows you to write action creators that return a function instead of an action. The thunk can be used to delay the dispatch of an action, or to dispatch only if a certain condition is met. The inner function receives the store methods dispatch and getState as parameters.
React Router V4 for routing website location
Sass CSS with superpowers. Sass boasts more features and abilities than any other CSS extension language out there.
InversifyJS InversifyJS is a lightweight (4KB) inversion of control (IoC) container for TypeScript and JavaScript apps. A IoC container uses a class constructor to identify and inject its dependencies.
create-react-app Create React App is a tool built by developers at Facebook to help you build React applications. It saves you from time-consuming setup and configuration. You simply run one command and create react app sets up the tools you need to start your React project.
