You’ll need to have Node >= 6 on your machine.
From the location where you want to install the app:
git clone https://github.com/ianrosedev/Super-Nintendo-Game-Info.git
Then from the root directory:
npm run install-all
The app and all dependencies will now be installed.
You need to get a YouTube API key!
The Google Developers documentation will guide you through the process. You will need a 'simple API key'. After obtaining a key, copy it and place it in server/helpers/keys.js.
The app is now ready to go!
From the root directory:
npm run start-dev
This will start both the frontend and API servers concurrently. If Chrome is available, the app will open automatically.
The app is now running at: http://localhost:3000
If you need access to the API server, it is running at: http://localhost:3001
From the client directory:
Test the whole app:
npm test
Test an individual component:
npm test -- [ComponentToTest].test.js
There are currently no tests for the server.
The client side is built with React using the Facebook create-react-app. More documentation will be found at the GitHub page.
From the client directory:
npm run build
A production ready build folder will be produced.
When you load the app you will be at the landing page. From there you can check out the specially chosen 'Featured Game' or scroll down to the 'Full Game Listing'. The list is searchable and contains all of the North American SNES game releases plus a few more.
After browsing the list or searching for a game, you can click on a link to a page specifically for that game. In this page you will find an excerpt of the games Wikipedia page and three YouTube videos showing gameplay.
If you return to the landing page after a search, your search will be saved. This will enable you to check out games in a specific series one after another.
Have fun!
