Introduction

Personal tool to keep track of hours worked each week.

Getting Started

1. Install Node and NPM (Node.js).
2. Run npm install to install dependencies.

Use Locally

Production

1. Run npm run build to build a production bundle.

Development

1. Run npm start to start a local development app that restarts on changes.

Deployment

1. Run npm run commit to commit using commitizen, creating a commit message on the conventional-changelog format.
2. Run npm run release to generate a new CHANGELOG.md based on commit messages, increment the version, and tag the release.
3. Run npm run deploy to deploy the app directly to Firebase.
   • Note! This requires Firebase to be configured.
   • Note! This requires certain environment variables to be set, see Configuration.
   • Note! This deploys the application a Firebase alias, staging.

CI/CD

The project is setup to deploy automatically with Travis, but only to staging. To deploy the application to production, follow the steps in Deployment, and run npm run deploy:prod to deploy the newly generated release to production.

Technologies

• The app is written in TypeScript as a React app.
• The app was bootstrapped with create-react-app.
• The app connects to a back-end database: Google's Firebase.

Configuration

• The server uses dotenv for configuration.
  • All environment variables are accessed through process.env.<variable>.
  • Note! For local development, a local configuration-file, .env.local, with all environment variables is required.
    • Note! This file should not be commited and used in production. The production server should have different values from local development.
    • Note! If environment variables are set through other means, such as npm scripts or server configuration, these are used over the configuration-file.
