About this book

We built this book with GitBook and some plugins:

• -sharing: allows to manage (ore remove at all) the sharing buttons
• include-codeblock: allows to import a block of code directly from a file
• include: allows to import and reuse a MD file

The book can be configured with the book.json file, some of the options can be found here.

How to use it

• npx gitbook install: automatically managed with the postintall script
• npm run book:serve: alias for npx storybook serve
• npm run book:build: alias for npx storybook build, the artifact is placed into the docs directory to be used with GitHub pages. ATTENTION: you need to run npm test before it to create some assets for the book
• npm run book:publish: pushes the latest changes to the GitHub page

Slides

We managed the slides through slides.com and are publicly available.

Code

We leveraged both the React frontend and the Node.js backend of the RealWorld project. Read more about it in the dedicated chapter.

Cypress tests

To watch them running on your local machine:

• you should have the RealWorld project dependencies installed
