YO! Movie

Info

1. Project is a monorepo with two packages, both are serveless services. Monorepo managed with lerna.
2. yo-api-fe is an endpoint with configuration from TMDB API (dynamodb used to cache that config [avoid hitting request limitation]).
3. yo-fe React Server Side Rendered application served by serverless express application
4. Please use yarn
5. I use node 8.10 everywhere in the project - same as AWS Lambda.

Install

In order to run project locally you need to have AWS credentials for serverless to talk to real DyanamoDB (you can create one by running sls deploy in yo-fe). This is not ideal but can be fixed by adding e.g. serverless-dynamodb-local.

First create .env files for local development in both packages using provided templates

mv packages/yo-fe/.env.local.template packages/yo-fe/.env.local
mv packages/yo-api-tmdb/.env.local.template packages/yo-api-tmdb/.env.local

Replace __YOUR_TMDB_API_KEY__ with your key.

nvm use
yarn install

yarn start:dev

This will start two serverless offline processes for both packages resulting in two local endpoints:

• localhost:4000 - SSR frontend
• localhost:3000/tmdb/config - endpoint to get tmdb configuration

Development

• Support for livereload when running with start:dev.

Testing

All tests with jest. FE uses Enzyme.

You can provide --watch parameter to yarn test in order to enable watch mode.

Build & Deploy

Project contains basic CircleCi config with deployment to AWS via sls deploy.
