Development Instructions

Starting the Development Server

Component Development Using Storybook

To develop components, run Storybook:

yarn storybook

By default Storybook runs on will be running on port 6006, so to visit it open a browser and go to https://localhost:6006

Project Structure and Instructions

Components

We have included an example <Logo /> component (complete with an example storybook story).

You can check these out at: ./src/components/layout/logo.tsx ./src/components/layout/logo.stories.tsx

Testing

By the way, we've installed testing-library libraries for you for react, jest and cypress 😄

Unit Testing

Unit testing is included using Jest, which has been preconfigured with jest-extended and jest-dom.

To run unit tests:

yarn test:unit:ci # run once, OR...
yarn test:unit:dev # ... run and watch for changes

End-to-End Testing

End to End testing is included using Cypress.

Accessibility is automatically tested using cypress.test.js

yarn test:e2e:ci # run once, OR...
yarn test:e2e:dev # ... run and watch for changes

Plans for Future Development

• We intend to keep this starter lightweight, but also add some further opinionated customizations
• We admire the work in gatsby-universal and so we'll probably steal some of the features of that starter for this one.

Roadmap and TODO

• add typescript
• add postCSS
• remove default styles
• remove default styles
• write blog post
• add unit tests
• add favicon generation
• add other features from gatsby-universal
