Background

The app accesses a local IPFS daemon via window.ipfs-fallback. It will use the window.ipfs api provided by the IPFS Companion web-extension where available, and fallback to using js-ipfs-api

The app is built with create-react-app. Please read the docs.

Install

With node > 10 (but < 12) and npm @ 6+ installed, run

npm install

Usage

When developing you can run the dev server, the unit tests, and the storybook component viewer and see the results of your changes as you save files.

In separate shells run the following:

# Run the unit tests
npm test

# Run the dev server @ http://localhost:3000
npm start

# Run the UI component viewer @ http://localhost:9009
npm run storybook

Build

To create an optimized static build of the app, output to the build directory:

# Build out the html, css & jss to ./build
npm run build

Analyze

To inspect the built bundle for bundled modules and their size, first build the app then:

# Run bundle
npm run analyze

Test

The following command will run the app tests, watch source files and re-run the tests when changes are made:

npm test

The uses Jest to run the isolated unit tests. Unit test files are located next to the component they test and have the same file name, but with the extension .test.js

Linting

The following command will perform standard linting on the code:

npm run lint

Coverage

To do a single run of the tests and generate a coverage report, run the following:

npm run test:coverage
