Contoso Real Estate: Developer Guide

🚧 This is a Work in Progress:
Once we commit a stable first version, this notice will be removed and package opened to contributions.

ℹ️ | About This Package

This is the "developer guide" documentation package for the Contoso Real Estate reference sample. It has 2 components:

  • website/ | source for the static website hosting a developer guide for self-guided exploration of documentation from design to deployment steps. See website/README for details.

  • training/ | content for interactive workshops to explore the samples in a hands-on, step-by-step manner ex: Learn Live events. See training/README.

🚀 | Local Preview

We recommend using the dev server to view the guide locally. This command will start the dev server and launch the browser to the correct preview URL.

# Requires Node.js v18+.
# Recommend using nvm to manage versions
$ nvm use --lts
Now using node v18.17.0 (npm v9.6.7)

# Install dependencies
$ cd website/
$ npm install

# Run dev server (should launch browser)
$ npx docusaurus start
[INFO] Starting the development server...
[SUCCESS] Docusaurus website is running at: http://localhost:3000/

# 🚀 Congratulations!
# You should be previewing the dev guide on browser

🚀 | Production Build

You can build the website for production deployment and validate that build with a local preview as well:

# Requires Node.js v18+
# Build the static site for production
$ cd website/
$ npm install
$ npm run build
...
[SUCCESS] Generated static files in "build".
[INFO] Use `npm run serve` command to test your build locally.

# Preview  the production build locally
# Will attempt to run this on port 3000 (default)
$ npm run serve

# You will be prompted if port is unavailable
# Browser is automatically launched to the
# preview server URL as shown.
[WARNING] Something is already running on port 3000. Probably:
Would you like to run the app on another port instead? … yes
[SUCCESS] Serving "build" directory at: http://localhost:3001/

The build can now be deployed to suitable hosting services. Check out the Docusaurus Deployment documentation for service-specific guides. We verified this works with GitHub Pages and Azure Static Web Apps.

Since this is an open-source repo focused on an engineering sample, we are not actively hosting the developer guide ourselves. However, we encourage you to explore deployment options in your personal fork - and use GitHub Actions to automate the build/deploy workflow for convenience.

🎭 | Playwright Testing

Playwright is a reliable end-to-end testing framework for modern web apps that supports test automation and cross-browser testing along with rich tooling to make the developer e2e testing experience seamless and productive.

# Get the Playwright version
$ npx playwright --version
Version 1.36.2

# Get usage help for available Playwright CLI commands and options
$ npx playwright --help
Usage: npx playwright [options] [command] ....

# Get usage help for a specific Playwright CLI command (ex: test)
$ npx playwright test --help
Usage: npx playwright test [options] [test-filter...]

run tests with Playwright Test
...

The package/docs workspace now has a local set of Playwright tests for the developer guide website. These are intentionally kept separate from the Playwrite e2e tests suite for the Contoso Real Estate sample app located in the package/testing workspace.

As a result, there may be minor variations in how the two test runners are configured, and the kinds of test suites that are defined. To explore how the website tests are setup, configured, and run, go to website/README.TESTING.
