Development

Setting up a development environment

Make sure you have yarn (installable via your local package manager), and Python 3.5 installed.

Install the necessary yarn dependencies:

yarn install

We will keep the Python dependencies in a virtual environment:

virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Adding dependencies

Server-side

If you start using a new Python library, be sure to add it to requirements.txt

Client side

Yarn keeps track of all the client-side dependancies in config.json when you install new packages with yarn add ...

Running a development server

First build all the client-side assets:

webpack --watch

the --watch flag tells webpack to rebuild the frontend code whenever files in client/ change.

Then, in a separate terminal, run the development server:

python server

This will also re-load the code when you make modifications in server/.
