EduSource is an application for parents, particularly in COVID times, to find, share, and organize online educational resources for their children. Users can view resources uploaded by other users, see comments, play embedded videos, and bookmark resources so they can easily access them later. The frontend is built with React/Redux, and the backend is built with a Rails API. I used this project as an opportunity to practice setting up sessions workflow, maintaining page context through react-router-dom, and managing the flow of data between a decoupled frontend and backend.
This repo contains the frontend portion of this application build with React and Redux. The backend repo, built via a Rails API, can be found here and the app is live here
Screenshot of the home screen where you can view educational resources:
This application is currently hosted live on Heroku. The main change that needs to be made for this to work is to npm install serve
and set "start": "serve -s build"
under scripts
in package.json
. The main branch will not have this start script, but the production branch does. Other environment sensative settings are managed with process.env.NODE_ENV
statements.
In the project directory, you can run:
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.
Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.
See the section about running tests for more information.
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.
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.
