<br/>
The React Social Network is an open source project relying on [React](https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/hello-world.html) a powerful javascript library for building the user interface. In this project, I tried to show some features of react/react components as a social network. 
The structure of this project give the ability to developer to develop their project on their own idea and environment.

## Before Starting
First of all this is a boilerplate react social and the purpose is to find the best way to implement a huge project such as social network by [React](https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/hello-world.html) . We learn what technology or algorithm could be better solution for our project by [React](https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/hello-world.html). Please approach to this project with these ideas and if you feel that you have better solution, to our great pleasure if we could have your contribution.
  - You are the person who is new to [React](https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/hello-world.html) and you are looking for some ideas to start [React](https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/hello-world.html) with some basic stuff. Also you are the fan of [React Semantic UI](https://react.semantic-ui.com/) I recommend you start with [React Blog Project](https://github.com/Qolzam/react-blog).
  - You are the person who has the base knowledge of [React](https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/hello-world.html) which provided in [React Blog Project](https://github.com/Qolzam/react-blog) and you are the fan of social network projects, [Material-UI](http://www.material-ui.com/#/). You are the person who love JS/JSX. [js-react-social-tutorial](https://github.com/Qolzam/js-react-social-tutorial) project will be recommended.
  - You are the fan of pure [Redux](http://redux.js.org/) with [redux-thunk](https://github.com/gaearon/redux-thunk), [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/), [InversifyJS](http://inversify.io/) IOC container and you have the knowledge enough about the stuff in [js-react-social-tutorial](https://github.com/Qolzam/js-react-social-tutorial). [Version 0.5.0 branch of react-social-network](https://github.com/Qolzam/react-social-network/tree/v0.5) is the place you can find yourself.

We are going ahead.👍

## Example

[Love Open Social](https://love-social.firebaseapp.com)
 
## Required Knowledge

I recommend that you get to know React before using React Social Network. React Social Network has built by React components, so understanding how React fits into web development is important.

## Roadmap
### Supporting diverse data platforms
   Platform  | Accessible
------------ | -------------
[Firebase/Firestore](firebase.google.com/cloud/firestore‎) | :+1:
[Amazon Web Service (AWS)](https://aws.amazon.com/) | On Developing :zap:
[Azure](https://aws.amazon.com/) | Future Support :star:
[ASP.NET Core](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/) | On Developing :zap:
## Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

### Prerequisites

Install [NodeJs](https://nodejs.org/en/)
 
#### Note

- If you're using Windows you should install all node-gyp dependencies with following commands:

`$ npm install --global --production windows-build-tools`
and then install the package

`$ npm install --global node-gyp`

### Installing

> You also have this [blog](https://medium.com/@qolzam/create-social-network-by-react-js-fe60010a32e6) which explain installation in details and for all level.

1. Fork the [react-social-network](https://github.com/red-gold/react-social-network) repository on Github
1. Clone your fork to your local machine 
   ```bash
   git clone git@github.com:<yourname>/react-social-network.git

## What is new? :star2:
### Structure
New structure could make the project easy to change and scale up.
There are three main layers:
 - [Core](https://github.com/red-gold/react-social-network/tree/next/src/core) 
   - [Domain](https://github.com/red-gold/react-social-network/tree/next/src/core/domain)
   - [Providing interface for data services](https://github.com/red-gold/react-social-network/tree/next/src/core/services)
 - [Data](https://github.com/red-gold/react-social-network/tree/next/src/data)
  - This layer provide supporting variety of data platforms such as [Firebase](https://firebase.google.com/), [AWS](https://aws.amazon.com/), ... .
    - [FirestoreClient](https://github.com/red-gold/react-social-network/tree/next/src/data/firestoreClient)
    - AwsClient
    - AspNetClient
    - ...
 - [Components](https://github.com/red-gold/react-social-network/tree/next/src/components)
  - This layer take care of user interface which on [React](https://reactjs.org) and in [react-mobile-social] on [React Native](https://facebook.github.io/react-native/). It means **the only thing change here among these three layers on mobile app, is component layer**.

### IOC Container
  - Using [InversifyJS](http://inversify.io/) in project give us the ability to switch between custom dependencies easily. Specially for *data layer*, if you are the user working with [AWS](https://aws.amazon.com/) you only need to call `useAws()` or using [Firebase](https://firebase.google.com/) call `useFirestore()` in [SocialEngine](https://github.com/red-gold/react-social-network/blob/next/src/socialEngine.ts#L20) file.
### Features
  - We moved from custom webpack to [create-react-app](https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app).
  - Moving on [redux-saga](https://redux-saga.js.org/) managing async request and side effects.
  - Supporting [Async Component/Lazy loading](https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/blob/master/packages/react-scripts/template/README.md#code-splitting) for each container.
  - Support Localization by [react-localize-redux](https://github.com/ryandrewjohnson/react-localize-redux). Providing this feature we support variety of languages. To contribute :heart: your language you are able to add your local language. You only need to edit `en.json` from `react-social-network` root project and `src/locale/en.json`. You should name your file according ISO 639-1 Language Codes. For example for Spanish you should name `es.json`. Which `es` is the standard code of Spanish language.
  - [InversifyJS](http://inversify.io/) as IOC container
  - Add auto compile on changing code for `webpack`
  - Open browser on after compiling on `npm start`. You need to set `PORT=[PORT_NUMBER]` in [config file](https://github.com/red-gold/react-social-network/blob/next/docs/app/configure/development.env).
  - Add reset password, confirm password and authorizing by GitHub, Google and Facebook.
  - Add scroll auto loading for show posts and people pages.
  - Using [Firestore](https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/)
  - Supportig `Right To Left`
  - Some cool stuff :)
## Can I connect React Social Network to other data platforms ? :bowtie:
  Your server side is on `PHP`, `Java`,`ASP.NET`, `Python`, etc. Or you are using serverless platforms such as `Google Cloud`, `AWS`, `Azure`, etc. You can connect `React Social Network` to any data platform. You only need to implement the [interfaces of core services](https://github.com/red-gold/react-social-network/tree/next/src/core/services) like implementation of [firestoreClient](https://github.com/red-gold/react-social-network/tree/next/src/data/firestoreClient).
  
  There are a summary steps of creating your own `dataClients`. We assume that we want to implement for `PHP` backend.
  
  * You need to know about [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/samples/index.html) and implementing interfaces which I recommend take a look at [this article](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/interfaces.html).
  
  * You can get help from other [dataClient](https://github.com/red-gold/react-social-network/tree/next/src/data) implementation for your backend algorithm and also using [core domain](https://github.com/red-gold/react-social-network/tree/next/src/core/domain) for the backend domain could be helpful.
  
  1. Create a folder in [data layer](https://github.com/red-gold/react-social-network/tree/next/src/data) name `phpClient`.
  2. Create a folder in `/phpClient` folder name `services` then in `services` folder create some folders following [core/services folder](https://github.com/red-gold/react-social-network/tree/next/src/core/services) such as `services/votes`, `services/posts` and etc.
  3. In each folder inside `/phpClient/services/*` folder you should implement following interfaces in `core/services/*` folder in file with appropriate name. For example we need to implement `IPostService` from `core/services/posts/IPostService.ts` in `data/phpClient/services/posts/PostService.ts` file.
  4. After implementing interfaces for services layer. We should register the dependencies for our `phpClient` services. Create a file in `phpClient` folder name `dependecyRegisterar.ts`.
  5. Following `firestoreClient` dependencies, add a function name `usePhp()` and bind dependencies in the the function. For example for `PostService` class add `container.bind<IPostService>(SocialProviderTypes.PostService).to(PostService)`. Here `SocialProviderTypes` has the identifier of each service. To learn more take a look at [inversify docs](http://inversify.io/).
  6. Finally call registering dependencies function for in [socialEngine](https://github.com/red-gold/react-social-network/blob/next/src/socialEngine.ts#L22) file.
  7. Enjoy ;)

> :heart_eyes: It also would be great if you could contribute your `clientData` and `backend` with us to be part of this contribution. We would appreciate any conntribution.:thumbsup:

## Deployment
- In command line of [react-social-network] root project, type [firebase login](https://firebase.google.com/docs/cli/). This command connects your local machine to your Firebase account and grants access to your projects. To test that authentication worked, you can run firebase list to see a list of all of your Firebase projects. The list should be the same as the projects listed at [Firebase console](https://console.firebase.google.com).
- Be sure the name of firebase project for [react-social-network] and this project is same. You also need to check `.firebaserc` if you set correct project name in `default` field of `projects` field.
  ```bash
  npm run deploy:firebase
  ```
- Please checkout [here](https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/blob/master/packages/react-scripts/template/README.md#deployment) for more deployment solution.
