ProtoSchool

ProtoSchool is an educational community that teaches decentralized web protocols and tools through online tutorials and local events.

This repository is for the main ProtoSchool website, hosted at https://proto.school, where you can explore our self-guided interactive tutorials.

For information on hosting local events, please visit our organizing repo.

For the project roadmap, objectives, and archived meeting notes, please visit our roadmap repo.

Building tutorials

Whether you have an idea for a new tutorial or are ready to start building one, you've come to the right place!

First, please read our Designing Tutorials guide, which:

• introduces you to ProtoSchool's guiding principles
• explains the process of proposing a new tutorial topic and soliciting community input
• outlines some key elements of effective learning design so that you can create compelling content

Once you've submitted your proposal for feedback (as described in the Designing Tutorials guide) and are ready to start building, please refer to our Developing Tutorials guide for detailed instructions on:

• setting up your local repo
• creating the Markdown and Vue.js files needed to compose your lessons
• validating user responses to code challenges or multiple-choice quizzes
• troubleshooting

Running ProtoSchool locally

Just here to help someone proof a PR? Jump to our detailed instructions for running the site locally or follow the condensed steps below:

Clone the repo, install dependencies, check out the appropriate branch, and run the site locally:

$ git clone https://github.com/ProtoSchool/protoschool.github.io.git
$ cd protoschool.github.io
$ git checkout existing-branch-name-from-PR
$ npm install
$ npm start

View the site on localhost at: http://localhost:3000

Testing without affecting site analytics in Countly

Only actions taken at the https://proto.school domain affect our main ProtoSchool analytics in Countly.

You can safely experiment with any of the following to send stats to our TEST ProtoSchool dashboard in Countly instead:

• served locally: http://localhost:3000
• live site accessed directly through Fleek: https://protoschool.on.fleek.co/
• preview for a specific PR via link found in PR testing section (e.g. https://bafybeihebd2p64xghtqjuewonkfm4l5n2lkvrllviz7nb33qtyir5q5fau.on.fleek.co/)

Testing suites

We use Cypress and Jest for testing. Please check the documentation here for further details.

Managing remote data

Some data, such as the events list, is pulled at build-time from remote sources using Node.js scripts. Please check the documentation here for further details.
