Women Who Code Front End Study Group Project

This repository is a beginner-friendly project started by Women Who Code Front End to learn about front end technologies as well as how to collaborate on an open source project.

Currently it is deployed at https://frontendstudygroup.github.io using GitHub Pages.

We are collaborating with Women Who Code Cloud to implement other deployment methods like deploying the app to Azure or AWS with Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery pipelines.

Expectations

• Participation and maintenance of this project is completely voluntary and we are not committing to teach anything as part of this effort. If you want to practice together with us, this is a good place!
• We highly encourage you not to use third party UI frameworks. For example, if you want to design a carousel or a tooltip, do it from scratch.

  However we do understand that sometimes we need to use some third party libraries like redux or react-dom-router. When in doubt discuss it on the issue you are working on.

• Find your motivation to contribute to this repository and make sure you have the time.

  Life happens, we get it. Just let us know if you cannot do something you're assigned to and do NOT feel guilty about it.

• Things work best for all of us when contribution goals are driven by you. We as maintainers will only guide you and validate your thought process.
• Be open and honest in your communication.
• Be selfish! Aim to do what you intend to learn and do not feel forced to work on something against your will.

Code of Conduct

• Be respectful to each other
• No question is stupid, feel free to ask questions and encourage others

Testing

Executing the command npm test launches the test runner in interactive watch mode. See the section about running tests in the Create React App documentation for more information.

Deployment

There is a GitHub action set up on this repository to build the React app, run tests and deploy to the GitHub Pages site on every merge to the master branch.

Also when a pull request is created or updated, the GitHub action will build the React app and run tests. If the build or tests fail, the pull request will be blocked from merging until they are resolved.
