💿 Advanced Remix Workshop

Remix enables you to build fantastic user experiences for the web and feel happy with the code that got you there. In this workshop, we'll look at some more advanced use cases when building Remix applications.

Prerequisites

System Requirements

git v2.13 or greater
NodeJS 14 || 16 || 18
npm v8 or greater

All of these must be available in your PATH. To verify things are set up properly, you can run this:

git --version
node --version
npm --version

If you have trouble with any of these, learn more about the PATH environment variable and how to fix it here for windows or mac/linux.

Setup

Follow these steps to get this set up:

git clone https://github.com/kentcdodds/advanced-remix.git
cd advanced-remix
npm run setup

This will take some time. This repository has many projects in it that each need to have their own database setup. We also run type checking and the build to make sure things are ready to rock and roll 🤘

If you experience errors here, please open an issue with as many details as you can offer.

💪 Exercises

You'll find all the exercises in the exercises directory. The finished version of each exercise is in the final directory. Each directory is a completely contained Remix app.

The purpose of the exercise is not for you to work through all the material. It's intended to get your brain thinking about the right questions to ask me as I walk through the material.

Running each app

Each directory in the final and exercises directories is a Remix app. The easiest way to run these without having to cd into each directory is to use the dev.js script in the root of this repository:

# to run the first exercise app:
node dev exercise/01

# or to run the final version of the 2nd exercise
node dev final/02

Each will run on a unique port so you can run multiple apps at once.

Alternatively, rather than opening this whole repo in an editor window, you open each exercise folder in an individual editor window (this will make things like ⌘+P more useful).

Instructions

For each exercise, follow the instructions in the README.md file of the exercise directory to learn what the objectives are.

You can us the diff.js script to be shown the differences between what's in any of the apps. For example:

# to be shown the differences between the first exercise and the final version:
node diff exercise/01 final/01

This can be handy for you to run when you think you're done but things aren't quite working as you expect.

Sometimes there are changes that happen outside of the exercise because they're not the focus of the workshop but they can be handy to know about, so the diff command can help with that:

# To be shown the changes that happened to prepare for the exercise:
node diff final/04 exercise/05

Workshop Feedback

Each exercise has an Elaboration and Feedback link. Please fill that out after the exercise and instruction.
