Dev Environment Set Up

To set up your dev environment first you have to clone the repository at Shopping Stories and install the required dependencies by running npm install in both the website and docs directories.

To run the docs dev site simply cd into the docs folder and run

npm start

To run the main website you must first get the .env.local file which contains the required credentials from Molly. Place this file in the website directory then cd into the website directory and run npm run dev. Now you should be running the website locally. Note: that locally it builds the website on the file which is slow so expect pages to take a while to load when running them with npm run dev.

To build the website locally use the command npm run build and then you can run the build website with npm start. Also, we have a command for automatically formatting the code using the rules in the .prettierrc. To automatically format all the files in the repo using prettier run the command npm run format. To check for TypeScript errors you can use the command npm run typecheck.
