Welcome to the world of OperationCode! If you’re eager to dive into contributing to this amazing front-end application but don’t know where to start, you’ve landed in the right spot. This guide will walk you through the essentials of getting up and running with the OperationCode front-end app.

Quick Start Instructions

Before we venture into coding, you should be familiar with React applications, JavaScript ecosystem, and GitHub workflows such as forking, cloning, and branching. No worries if you feel a bit out of your depth; our community is here to help you!

Step-by-Step Guide

• First, read our Contributing Guide to equip yourself with the knowledge you need.
• Join our Slack team via the invite you’ll receive after registering. Don’t forget to check out the #oc-projects channel!
• Ensure that you have the required tools installed as mentioned below:
• Node: Check out the version in .nvmrc.
• Yarn: Use version 1.
• Git: Version 2.17.1 or greater.
• Once everything’s set up, install dependencies with the command:

yarn

• To run the local development server, type:

yarn dev

• If you’re working on new components, you can utilize Storybook by running:

yarn storybook

• To execute all unit tests, use:

yarn test

• For end-to-end tests with Cypress (make sure your dev server is still running), enter:

yarn test:e2e

• To set up files and folders for a new reusable component use:

yarn create-component $ComponentName

• To create a boilerplate for a new page, execute:

yarn create-page $PageName

Understanding the Process Through Analogy

Think of contributing to the OperationCode application as assembling a puzzle. Each piece (or component) has its unique shape and place. When you receive your invitation to join the Slack team, that’s like receiving the puzzle box’s image that illustrates the final picture. The tools you need to install are the pieces that allow you to construct the sections of the puzzle. Each command you run is akin to snapping pieces together until you have a cohesive and beautiful image. Every time you run a test or engage with Storybook, you’re examining the puzzle pieces to ensure they fit well together. And just like any good puzzle constructor, you can reach out to community members when you hit a tricky part!

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues while following the steps, here are some ideas to help you troubleshoot:

• Ensure all dependencies are installed correctly—sometimes a missing dependency can cause unexpected errors.
• Double-check the version of Node and Yarn you are using, as specified.
• If your dev server isn’t starting, check if any other applications are using the same port.
• Consult the GitHub Issues to see if others are facing similar problems.
• If you still have questions, don’t hesitate to ask in the Slack channel. For more insights, updates, or to collaborate on AI development projects, stay connected with fxis.ai.
