Getting started

If you're already have the API running locally, a simple npm install && npm start should be enough. Otherwise follow the procedure below:

• Install (if you don't have them):

  • The API project: https://github.com/opencollective/opencollective-api
  • NodeJS, ideally using asdf-vm with NODEJS_CHECK_SIGNATURES=no asdf install
  • App dependencies: npm install

• Run:

  • npm start - Start the front-end
  • npm run test - Runs all unit tests

Front-end is started on http://localhost:3333

A default account should have been created for you with e-mail=[email protected] and password=password.

Styling

Styling is based on Bulma and was initially customized with SASS. However we now include styled-components, styled-system and @rebass/grid. This has become the prefered way to build new components.

Icons

We bundle a custom font icon built with IcoMoon. You can find scripts and config for this in dev/ but the preferred (and easiest) way to add new icons today is to use https://styled-icons.js.org/.
