Not a fan of bits of the stack? Fork it, change it, and use npx create-remix --template your/repo! Make it your own.

Development

• Initial setup: If you just generated this project, this step has been done for you.

  npm run setup
  

• Start dev server:

  npm run dev
  

This starts your app in development mode, rebuilding assets on file changes.

Deployment

This Remix Stack comes with two GitHub Actions that handle automatically deploying your app to production and staging environments.

Prior to your first deployment, you'll need to do a few things:

• Install Netlify

• Log in to Netlify

  netlify login
  

• Create an app on Netlify:

  netlify sites:create --name acidcore-netlify-stack-template
  

  • Initialize Git.

  git init
  

• Create a new GitHub Repository, and then add it as the remote for your project. Do not push your app yet!

  git remote add origin <ORIGIN_URL>
  

• Add a NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN to your GitHub repo. To do this, go to your user settings on Netlify and create a new token, then add it to your repo secrets with the name NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN.

• You might need to modify the workflow permissions in your repository settings in the the Actions/General menu item. Choose "Read and write permissions" if you run into problems during deploys.

Now that everything is set up you can commit and push your changes to your repo. Every commit to your main branch will trigger a deployment to your production environment, and every commit to your dev branch will trigger a deployment to your staging environment.

Getting Help with Deployment

If you run into any issues deploying to Netlify, make sure you've followed all of the steps above and if you have, then post as many details about your deployment (including your app name) to the Netlify support. They're normally pretty responsive over there and hopefully can help resolve any of your deployment issues and questions.

GitHub Actions

We use GitHub Actions for continuous integration and deployment. Anything that gets into the main branch will be deployed to production after running tests/build/etc. Anything in the dev branch will be deployed to staging.

Testing

Cypress

We use Cypress for our End-to-End tests in this project. You'll find those in the cypress directory. As you make changes, add to an existing file or create a new file in the cypress/e2e directory to test your changes.

We use @testing-library/cypress for selecting elements on the page semantically.

To run these tests in development, run npm run test:e2e:dev which will start the dev server for the app as well as the Cypress client.

Vitest

For lower level tests of utilities and individual components, we use vitest. We have DOM-specific assertion helpers via @testing-library/jest-dom.

Type Checking

This project uses TypeScript. It's recommended to get TypeScript set up for your editor to get a really great in-editor experience with type checking and auto-complete. To run type checking across the whole project, run npm run typecheck.

Linting

This project uses ESLint for linting. That is configured in .eslintrc.js.

Formatting

We use Prettier for auto-formatting in this project. It's recommended to install an editor plugin (like the VSCode Prettier plugin) to get auto-formatting on save. There's also a npm run format script you can run to format all files in the project.
