Quickstart

Development

This step only applies if you've opted out of having the CLI install dependencies for you:
```
npm install -D
```
Start the Postgres Database in Docker:
```
npm run dev:startdb
```
Note: This will start a database container on the default Postgres port 5432. Please adjust if you have another server on your computer

This will also run any prisma migrations, and seed the database
Start dev server:
```
npm run dev:remix
```
This starts your app in development mode, rebuilding assets on file changes.
Run all of the above, plus npm run css

If you use the shortcut dev, the database will be started, CSS compiled, and then the remix dev server started
```
npm run dev
```

CSS

If you change the theme settings in styles/ you will need to build the css

You can run the sass build and the postcss by using:
```
npm run css
```
This is two npm commands back to back:
```
npm run css:build
npm run css:post
```
Watch for CSS changes

If you are making multiple CSS changes, you can run the css:dev command to recompile CSS on changes
```
npm run css:dev
```

Relevant code:

This app is a skeleton, with some of the tricky parts of getting Jest, Playwright, Prisma, Storybook and Remix to play together sorted out.

Database Connectivity

An example Prisma schema prisma/schema.prisma
An skeleton Prisma database seed command prisma/seed.ts
A database connection object app/utils/db.connection.ts

Remix code

A layout Component to render a header + footer app/components/Layout.tsx
An Index route app/routes/index.tsx
A healthcheck app/routes/healthcheck.tsx
An example i18n file public/locales/en/common.json

Jest Testing framework

A mock for Prisma tests/helpers/prismaMock.ts
Tests for the 2 components tests/components
An example of using the Prisma mock tests/utils/db.connection.test.ts

Playwright e2e Testing

Tests for the Index page e2e/routes/index.spec.ts
Tests for the Healthcheck e2e/routes/healthcheck.spec.ts

Deployment

This Remix Stack comes with two GitHub Actions that handle automatically deploying your app to production and staging environments.

Prior to your first deployment, you'll need to do a few things:

Initialize Git.
```
git init
```
Create a new GitHub Repository, and then add it as the remote for your project. Do not push your app yet!
```
git remote add origin <ORIGIN_URL>
```

GitHub Actions

We use GitHub Actions for continuous integration and deployment. Anything that gets into the main branch will be deployed to production after running tests/build/etc. Anything in the dev branch will be deployed to staging.

Testing

Playwright

We use Playwright for our End-to-End tests in this project. You'll find those in the e2e directory. As you make changes, add to an existing file or create a new file in the e2e directory to test your changes.

(Make sure it has spec in the filename!)

First time setup

You must install browsers for Playwright to use the first time you want to run e2e tests:

npx playwright install

Running e2e tests

To run these tests locally, run npm run e2e which will start a Postgres database on a non-standard port (5556), start the Remix application server, but then run the browser tests on your local machine. This was a balance of complexity; it is technically possible to have a Playwright container with browsers installed within it.

npm run e2e

This database server will stay running between e2e runs (but will start if needed when you run npm run e2e)

Migrations and a full database reset will happen to this database on every e2e test run; if you need your data preserved, use the Postgres server defined in ./docker-compose.yml (or another properly configured Postgres server)

Jest Testing

For lower level tests of utilities and individual components, we use jest.

To run the Jest tests written, use

npm run test

The prisma database connection is mocked automatically in Jest. You can see an example of how to add mock responses to queries in the db.connection.test.ts

Type Checking

This project uses TypeScript. It's recommended to get TypeScript set up for your editor to get a really great in-editor experience with type checking and auto-complete. To run type checking across the whole project, run npm run typecheck.

npm run typecheck

Linting

This project uses ESLint for linting. That is configured in .eslintrc.js.

npm run lint

Formatting

We use Prettier for auto-formatting in this project. It's recommended to install an editor plugin (like the VSCode Prettier plugin) to get auto-formatting on save.

There's also a npm run format script you can run to format all files in the project.

npm run format
