🚀 Running UI in Dev Mode

Run the UI in dev mode (make changes and see them reflected in the browser with hotreloading):

• npm install
• npm run start

This should start the server on port 8000.

Design Elements

• Gatsby: The app is created in Gatsby. A guide on bootstrapping a Gatsby app can be found here - https://www.gatsbyjs.com/docs/quick-start/.
  This provides an overview of the project file structure include functionality of files like gatsby-config.js, gatsby-node.js, gatsby-browser.js and gatsby-ssr.js.
• TailwindCSS: The app uses TailwindCSS for styling. A guide on using TailwindCSS with Gatsby can be found here - https://tailwindcss.com/docs/guides/gatsby.https://tailwindcss.com/docs/guides/gatsby . This will explain the functionality in tailwind.config.js and postcss.config.js.

Modifying the UI, Adding Pages

The core of the app can be found in the src folder. To add pages, add a new folder in src/pages and add a index.js file. This will be the entry point for the page. For example to add a route in the app like /about, add a folder about in src/pages and add a index.tsx file. You can follow the content style in src/pages/index.tsx to add content to the page.

Core logic for each component should be written in the src/components folder and then imported in pages as needed.

connecting to front end

the front end makes request to the backend api and expects it at /api on localhost port 8081

setting env variables for the UI

• please look at .env.default
• make a copy of this file and name it .env.development
• set the values for the variables in this file
  • The main variable here is GATSBY_API_URL which should be set to http://localhost:8081/api for local development. This tells the UI where to make requests to the backend.
