Wacky News Reader

An easy peasy headline news reader that enable you to grasp the up-to-date news headlines in light mode, dark mode and ... 90s mode! 🎉

The web application has been deployed: https://wacky-news-reader.web.app/.

Quick Start 🚀

1. Create an account from The New York Times Developer Network. Create an API key and enable "Top Stories API".
2. Create a file .env in the topmost directory of this project. Put the API key (not the secret) in the file: REACT_APP_NYT_API_KEY=<API Key>.
3. Install the dependencies: npm ci.
4. Start the development server: npm run start
5. Open http://localhost:3000 from a browser.

Running Tests ✅

The component tests are located in src/__tests__.

1. Run jest in watch mode: npm run test:jest

The end-to-end tests are located in cypress/integration. Here is how you run the test in the interactive runner:

1. Ensure Chrome and Firefox browsers have been installed.
2. Run the development server. Ensure http://localhost:3000 is up and running from the previous section.
3. Open Cypress: npx cypress open.
4. Select the desired browser (Chrome or Firefox) and click the test to run.

Cypress also offers us to run the test in headless mode: npx cypress run --headless --browser chrome.

Deploy to Firebase 🔥

1. Log in to your Google account via a browser.
2. Create a Firebase project and register this web application: https://firebase.google.com/docs/web/setup.
3. Log in to your Google account via the CLI: npx firebase login.
4. Ensure Firebase can preview and host the website: npx firebase emulators:start. The web application should be running on http://localhost:5000.
5. Deploy the web application: npx firebase deploy --only hosting.

You can also use the Github Actions to deploy. You need to define two repository secrets under Settings > Secrets from the Github project's page.

• API_KEY: The API key from The New York Times Developer Network.
• FIREBASE_TOKEN: The login token given by npx firebase login:ci.
