We are adding documentation as we go in the Web Foundations repo. There you will find our decision records, principles, best practices and styleguides for writing and testing different kinds of components.
In addition to this documentation, Quilt contributors generally have an in-depth understanding of the following technologies:
- JavaScript
- TypeScript
- React
- Node.JS
- Jest
If you're looking to enhance your understanding of these technologies, fell free to reach out in #help-admin-web-platform on Slack.
The tools below will give you the best developer experience with this project:
VSCode offers exceptional tooling for the stack we use in this project. This includes easy navigation to the definition of symbols, viewing all references to a given symbol, easy renaming across the project, built-in debugging, and more.
If you are using VSCode, you should first set it to use the workspace version of TypeScript. To do so, open VSCode's command palette (cmd+shift+p) and select TypeScript: select TypeScript version. In the prompt that opens, select Use workspace version if it is not already selected.
Our recommended extensions for VSCode can be installed by opening the command palette (cmd+shift+p), and entering Show Workspace Recommended Extensions.
