Nashville Software School Kennels

Getting Started

Clone this repo and cd to the created directory.
Run npm install to get all dependencies.

Running the API

Right now, the JSON file for the API only exists in the codebase for release 6.0 and later. Therefore, I suggest that you copy the file to another directory on your system and follow the steps below after that is done. Otherwise, when you checkout tag 1-5, the API will no longer work.

My bad. I should have thought of that when I committed release tag 1.0.

Hotel Setup

If you have Hotel installed, follow these steps.

Run the following command from the directory containing the JSON file.

hotel add 'json-server -p $PORT -w kennel.json' --out kennel.log --port 5002 --name 'react-step-by-step'

Start Hotel if it isn't running.
Visit the Hotel web page at http://localhost:2000/ and start the server.

Without Hotel

cd to the directory containing the JSON file.
Run json-server -p 5002 -w kennel.json in its own terminal session to start the API.

Start the Application

Now run npm start in the project root directory in its own terminal.

Instructor Guide

get checkout 1.0 will take you to the first release to show students a very basic version of the application with hard-coded state so you can show students how state becomes props when sent to a child component.

Take a look at all of the releases to see the progression of the code and the topics covered in each one.
