OpenDota UI: A web interface to OpenDota.

Quickstart

• Install Node.js (6.0.0 or greater) (on Ubuntu, curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo -E bash - && sudo apt-get install -y nodejs)
• npm install
• npm start
• Visit port 8080 on your development machine.
• Make some changes
• npm run lint to check your code for linting errors
• Submit a pull request. Wait for review and merge.
• Congratulations! You're a contributor.

Tech Stack

• View: React
• State Management: Redux
• CSS: css-modules/postcss

Workflow

• If you're interested in contributing regularly, let us know and we'll add you to the organization.
• Development/pull requests should target the master branch.
• The master branch is automatically deployed to the stage environment: https://stage.opendota.com
• Admins will periodically drive releases by making a pull request from master to production.
• The production branch is automatically built by Travis CI and pushed to the production repository odota.github.io. Once there, it's available globally at https://www.opendota.com

Notes

• The UI is standalone, so you don't have to set up the entire stack (databases, etc.), or worry about getting starter data.
• By default, the UI points to the production API.
• You can configure it to point to your own backend (if you are working on a new feature and want to start building the UI before it's deployed to production).
• You can also configure the port used by webpack-dev-server in webpack.config.js.

  • Strongly recommended for active developers! We move fast and it's helpful to be up to speed with everything that's happening.

Testing

Browserstack have been kind enough to provide us with a free account for Live and Automate. We will be using automate in the future to run automatic end-to-end testing. Join the discussion on testing

BrowserStack is a cloud-based cross-browser testing tool that enables developers to test their websites across various browsers on different operating systems and mobile devices, without requiring users to install virtual machines, devices or emulators.
