HackYourFuture.dk

This is a fork from Kevin's repo

To preview on Heroku hosting https://hyf-dk.herokuapp.com/

Why Next.js

nodejs is react server-rendering universal-rendering. It is a framework that most notably allows you to write server-rendered React apps easily – amongst other cool things. Also one of the most important features is SEO-friendly.

Run project

Set the node_env. This is how you do in git bash: export NODE_ENV=develop cmder set NODE_ENV=develop Now you can run npm run start or run nodemon

Dependencies vs devDependencies

All modules that are used by heroku must be in dependencies! Fx compression-webpack-plugin, node-sass, sass-loader. Are all in dependencies. The issue is this: vercel/next.js#6478 and this: vercel/next.js#198

Staging environment

The develop branch automatically deploys to https://dashboard.heroku.com/apps/test-hackyourfuture-dk This heroku app is registred at staging.hackyourfuture.dk with the NODE_ENVIRONMENT set to develop

project structure refs

The project is depend on Next.js & Express.js, and here is a tutorial about the same structure using both next.js and express.js

Website Fonts

there is two basic fonts: Space Mono, and Work Sans

 @import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Space+Mono|Work+Sans');
 //font-family: 'Space Mono', monospace;
 //font-family: 'Work Sans', sans-serif;

UI components

Many components are coming from Material UI

project structure:

server.js is the entry point for this project, which is node.js server based on express.js
the backend folder contains express.js routes where we can connect the database later and create our API
static folder contains the assets like: images, fonts, icons...
pages folder contains the next.js files. Each one of the represent a route or a link at the website. For example: about.js file on the root of this folder represents hackyourfuture.dk/about and so on. We can also make sub-folders contains files to create links like hackyourfuture/folder-name/file-name
components folder contains our react components. we are importing these components at pages files.

pages content

most of pages content is comming from components/content/... content is stored in these files as variables. and at pages we are importing them marked module is used to convert the content from markup to html and the component <content> is the wrapper div for them example:

Many components are using data coming from json files. You can find these files in the same component folder.

Note: These files are temporary, and the real date will come later from database

JSX styling

the default way to add css for components with next.js is jsx at the components we can add something like:

<style jsx>{`
  body {
    font-size : 16px;
  }
`}
</style>

Navbar

components/navbar

This component is a Material-UI component. you can read more about it here.

the content exists at links.json file at the same component folder. Some menus has sub menus which are Material UI Menus component
