This project was created with Divjoy ✨

👉 Get Started

Install dependencies

npm install

Install the ZEIT Now CLI

npm install -g now

Run the development server

now dev

When the above command completes you'll be able to view your website at http://localhost:3000.

Note: You can run just the front-end with npm run start, but now dev also handles running your API endpoints (located in the /api directory).

🥞 Stack

This project uses the following libraries and services:

• Framework - Create React App with React Router
• Styling - Bulma with custom SASS styles
• Authentication - Firebase Auth
• Newsletter - Mailchimp (via server endpoint)
• Contact Form - Amazon SES (via server endpoint)
• Analytics - Google Analytics
• Hosting - ZEIT Now

📚 Guide

Styles

You can edit Bulma SASS variables in the global stylesheet located at src/styles/global.scss. Variables allow you to control global styles (like colors and fonts), as well as element specific styles (like button padding). Before overriding Bulma elements with custom style check the Bulma docs to see if you can do what need by tweaking a SASS variable.

Custom styles are located in their related component's directory. For example, if any custom style is applied to the Navbar component you'll find it in src/components/Navbar/styles.scss. We ensure custom styles are scoped to their component by prepending the classname with the component name (such as .Navbar__brand). This ensures styles never affect elements in other components. If styles need to be re-used in multiple components consider creating a new component that encapsulates that style and structure and using that component in multiple places.

Routing

This project uses React Router and includes a convenient useRouter hook (located in src/util/router.js) that wraps React Router and gives all the route methods and data you need.

import { Link, useRouter } from './../util/router.js';

function MyComponent(){
  // Get the router object
  const router = useRouter();

  // Get value from query string (?postId=123) or route param (/:postId)
  console.log(router.query.postId);

  // Get current pathname
  console.log(router.pathname)

  // Navigate with the <Link> component or with router.push()
  return (
    <div>
      <Link to="/about">About</Link>
      <button onClick={(e) => router.push('/about')}>About</button>
    </div>
  );
}

Authentication

This project uses Firebase Auth and includes a convenient useAuth hook (located in src/util/auth.js) that wraps Firebase and gives you common authentication methods. Depending on your needs you may want to edit this file and expose more Firebase functionality.

import { useAuth } from './../util/auth.js';

function MyComponent(){
  // Get the auth object in any component
  const auth = useAuth();

  // Depending on auth state show signin or signout button
  // auth.user will either be an object, null when loading, or false if signed out
  return (
    <div>
      {auth.user ? (
        <button onClick={(e) => auth.signout()}>Signout</button>
      ) : (
        <button onClick={(e) => auth.signin('hello@divjoy.com', 'yolo')}>Signin</button>
      )}
    </div>
  );
}
