Email Client

Tech Stack

This project provides a few cool tools as a foundation, so it'd be worthwhile to check them out before getting started:

• Babel for nextgen JavaScript features
• ESLint for help with JavaScript code errors and style
• Flow for type-checking your JavaScript code
• Sass + Autoprefixer for enhancing CSS with some nice features
• Stylelint for help with CSS code errors and style
• Parcel for building and running the app

Setup

Getting the app installed isn't too scary! Just a few simple steps and you'll be all set:

• Fork the sample repo in GitHub so you have your own copy of the app
• Open a terminal/console and navigate to whatever folder you want the project to be in
• Clone your fork with git clone [email protected]:YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME/email-client-practice-app.git
• Navigate into the downloaded folder with cd email-client-practice-app
• Install the dependencies:
  • Make sure you install Node.js if you don't have it already
  • We'll use the Yarn package manager to interact with the app throughout the docs, but npm works, too (and comes bundled with Node.js)
  • Finally, actually install the app's dependencies with yarn install

Usage

Once all the setup is complete, you can actually start using and developing the app:

• Start the app's development server using yarn start, then go to http://localhost:1234 in your browser to see it (stop the server with the Ctrl + C keys)
• If you want to run the linters on your code, use yarn lint
  • To just lint your JavaScript code, yarn lint:js
  • To just lint your CSS/Sass code, yarn lint:sass
• If you want to run Flow's type checks, use yarn flow

Get Started!

This project is intended to be yours, so at this point you can go wild creating the email client you've always wanted. Just a couple of last notes:

• Initial source code files can be found in the src folder
• The final app code outputs to the dist folder

That's it; dream big!
