## Purpose

This is all you need to get started in developing your own web application, using TypeScript, React, server-side rendering and all the other hip tools. If you know what you are doing, you can follow the [quick start guide](#quickstart) or you can go learn with the walk-through starting [here](/docs/STRUCTURE.md).

## <a name="quickstart">Quick start guide</a>

### <a name="requirements">Requirements</a>
- If you don't already have it, install [Node](https://nodejs.org/en/download/)
- If you don't already have it, install [git](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git)
- Install [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/install/)

### <a name="download">Download the source code</a>
1. Open up your favorite kind of console
2. Navigate to the folder in which you want to store the source code
3. Run `git clone git@github.com:Lapanti/ts-react-boilerplate.git`

### <a name="startingdevelopment">Starting development</a>
1. Open up the source code in your favorite TypeScript-capable editor (I recommend [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) if you don't have a preference)
2. Run `yarn` in the console to install dependencies (it'll take a while on the first run, so go on and read ahead while you wait)
3. Read through the comments in all the source files to get yourself acquinted with the ideas, concepts and patterns
4. Start the application by running `yarn develop` in your console (inside the folder you downloaded the code to) and open up your browser in the address it prints out
5. Create a deployable version of the application by running `yarn build`
6. Start the deployable version by running `yarn start` or read the [How to Docker](#dockerization) guide to Dockerize your application
7. To test your application, run `yarn test`
8. Start modifying the code to build your own application

## <a name="tipsandsuggestions">Tips and suggestions</a>
- Make sure everything has a type (the more you squeeze out of the compiler the easier you're going to have it while developing)
- Follow [BEM](http://getbem.com/naming/)-naming with CSS
- Follow [Redux-ducks pattern](https://github.com/erikras/ducks-modular-redux) except that name the reducers as according to the file (see [IndexReducer.tsx](/src/modules/index/IndexReducer.tsx) for an example)

## <a name="dockerization">How to Docker</a>
The [Dockerfile](/Dockerfile) is where you can find the configuration to build a [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) image out of your application. The first line of the `Dockerfile` (starting with `FROM`) includes the base for your Dockerfile, feel free to change it if you want to.
1. Put your email to the [fourth line in the Dockerfile](/Dockerfile#L4)
2. In your console run `docker build .`
3. In your console run `docker run -d -p 8080:8080 bd9b1d6725bc` **but** replace `bd9b1d6725bc` with the image ID you received from the previous command
4. Host your Docker image in your favorite cloud or local server (the web is filled with guides for this)
