opendota-web

OpenDota Web UI: A web interface for viewing Dota 2 data. This utilizes the OpenDota API, which is also an open source project.

Quickstart

• Clone the repo using git clone --recurse-submodules git://github.com/odota/web
  • If you already have a copy of the repo, run git submodule init && git submodule update to fetch shared components
• Install Node.js (6.0.0 or greater) (on Ubuntu, curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo -E bash - && sudo apt-get install -y nodejs)
• npm install
• npm start
• Visit port 3000 on your development machine.
• Make some changes.
• npm run lint to check your code for linting errors.
• npm test to check all app routes for uncaught JavaScript errors.
• Submit a pull request. Wait for review and merge.
• Congratulations! You're a contributor.

Configuration

• You can set the following environment variables:
  • PORT: Changes the port that the development server runs on
  • REACT_APP_API_HOST: Changes the API that the UI requests data from (default https://api.opendota.com)

Tech Stack

• View: React
• State Management: Redux
• CSS: styled-components

Workflow

• If you're interested in contributing regularly, let us know and we'll add you to the organization.
• The master branch is automatically deployed to the stage environment: https://stage.opendota.com
• We'll periodically ship releases to production: https://www.opendota.com

Notes

• You don't have to set up the entire stack (databases, etc.), or worry about getting starter data, since the UI points to the production API.
• Use the configuration to point to your own API (if you are working on a new feature and want to start building the UI before it's deployed to production).
• Discord: https://discord.gg/opendota
  • Strongly recommended for active developers! We move fast and it's helpful to be up to speed with everything that's happening.

Testing

BrowserStack have been kind enough to provide us with a free account for Live and Automate. We will be using Automate in the future to run automatic end-to-end testing.

BrowserStack is a cloud-based cross-browser testing tool that enables developers to test their websites across various browsers on different operating systems and mobile devices, without requiring users to install virtual machines, devices or emulators.
