Biztech's web application.
These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project to a live system.
-
Clone the repo:
$ git clone https://github.com/ubc-biztech/bt-web -
Install the packages:
$ npm install -
Your setup is ready for development! Run
npm startto run your app on your local machine.

assets/- Images, fonts, vectors, and other static files -
constants/- Abstracted constants -
utils/- Functions to call our backend API, AWS services, and any other miscellaneous functions -

Linters are put into place to exercise good and consistent coding style, regardless of developer. Editing lint rules can be done by changing the .eslintrc.js file.
To automatically check and fix all lint problems, run:
npm run lint
You may need to install eslint first npm i -g eslint
Prettier is used to format your code.
To automatically fix the styling of the entire codebase, run:
npx prettier --write
You may run prettier --write app/ (Example) to format a certain directory, or prettier --write app/components/Button.js (Example)
Our web application can be built and deployed to two different enviroments: staging and production, which are both hosted on firebase using our dev account ([email protected])
The web application is automatically built and deployed to our staging environment by Travis CI on every merge to master branch. This process is handled entirely by travis CI.
Triggering a build and deployment to our production environment can be done by creating a github release. Github actions are set up to automatically trigger a deploy during a release (this is done through the use of the prod branch). For more information on creating a release, take a look at our notion doc.
Configurations for both build-and-deploy processes can be found in the .travis.yml file
In the project directory, you can run:
npm start
Runs the app in the development mode. Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.
The page will reload if you make edits, and will log out any errors in the console.
npm run build
Builds the app for production to the build folder.
It bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.
For our app, use npm run generate:stage or npm run generate:prod instead. See the section about deployment for more information.
npm run test
Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode. See the section about running tests for more information.
npm run generate
Simply builds the application into the build folder.
npm run generate:stage
Builds the application into the build folder with the staging environmental variable.
npm run generate:prod
Builds the application into the build folder, but for production use.
