The Restaurant Reviews App is a project for the Udacity Front End nanodegree.
The object of the project is to refactor the site to more modern standards. Originally the site was designed for desktop only screens which scaled poorly to mobile screens. Using a combination of grid and flexbox, screens of various sizes should get a better experience. Accessibilty and PWA(Progressive Web Apps) features were implemented to the site. Service workers were registered to cache static assets and display when the site is offline. Performance is also increase as a result. The Ruberic provided by the FEND course was used to make sure it met all requirements. No UI frameworks were allowed in this project.
This project was made with the following technologies:
- HTML5
- CSS
- Javascript ES6
- Yeoman Generator Webapp (npm, gulp, browserfiy)
- Service Worker and Cache API
Source code found in /app, dev files are stored in /.temp and distro build is compiled and runs from /dist
To develop the app locally you must have node.js and git installed on your computer.
Clone or download the project and go to the project folder and install dependencies
cd restaurant-reviews-app
npm install
Once installed, you can now run npm start to build start the server and build the development files for the project. This will create a .tmp folder to be used by the webserver and viewable at
http://localhost:9000
For production ready project with full compression on code and assets then use
npm run build
IMPORTANT NOTE Due to the way the gulp script builds the Dev and Production files differently, It is important you deregister service workers and delete caches when you switch between development and production builds.
Browserify uses babel to transpile es6 code as backwards compatible as much as possible, the limitations can be found here.
