How to build it

Voluntarily is based on the MERN (MongoDB, Express, React+Redux, Node) software stack but also uses next.js to keep things clean and simple. Everything should work out of the box. There are two choices:

  1. install NodeJS and MongoDB and run locally - See here for detailed instructions

  2. install Docker and run in a container - See here for detailed instructions

Available Commands

  1. npm run dev - starts the development server with hot reloading enabled

  2. npm run build - bundles the code

  3. npm run test - start the test runner

  4. npm run start - runs production server

  5. npm run check-coverage - generates test coverage report

  6. npm run lint - runs standard to check for lint errors ( npm run fix to fix lint errors )

  7. npm run storybook - starts the Storybook Component Library

Once you see the message "Voluntarily is running on port: 3122! Be Awesome!" then you can open your browser at http://localhost:3122.

If you see the message "Please make sure Mongodb is installed and running!" then go back and start mongod.
