Addons-frontend 🔥

Front-end infrastructure and code to complement mozilla/addons-server

Requirements

• Node 4.x LTS
• npm 3.x

The easiest way to manage multiple node versions in development is to use nvm. See https://github.com/creationix/nvm for more info.

Get started

• npm install
• npm run dev

NPM scripts

Script	Description
npm start	Starts the express server
npm test	Runs the tests
npm run build	Builds the lib
npm run dev	Starts the dev server (Express + webpack)
npm run dev:search	As above but just the search code
npm run dev:disco	As above but just the discovery pane code
npm run lint	Lints the files with eslint (Run in npm test)
npm run eslint	An alias for npm run lint
npm run version-check	Checks you have the minimum node + npm versions

Overview and rationale

This project will hold several distinct front-ends e.g:

• Editors search tool
• Discovery Pane
• and beyond...

We've made a conscious decision to avoid "premature modularization" and keep this all in one repository. This will help us build out the necessary tooling to support a universal front-end infrastructure without having to worry about cutting packages and bumping versions the entire time.

At a later date if we need to move things out into their own project we still can.

Core technologies

• Based on Redux + React
• Code written in ES2015+
• Universal rendering via node
• Unit tests with high coverage (aiming for 100%)
