django_git_tinymce

This is the main repo for controlling teacher contributions to the CSDT community website. It is still in development.

It is designed to act as a private git server, from which teachers can add new content or change old content using the tinymce wiziwig to fit their classroom and needs, while simultaneously sharing that content to help other teachers with their work.

React/Redux

Frontend was created using React (Redux). To set up webpack for compiling the React JSX code into a client.min.js file:

• browse to /static/js/repo/ (or /menu/ if you are working on the menu page)
• npm install. This will set up your NPM dependencies in a /node_modules folder (You will need Node installed). Remember not to upload /node_modules to github (it is .gitignore'd anyway).
• webpack to compile your React code into the client.min.js file, which you do want to upload to github. You can of course use webpack-dev-server to autocompile on save, though you will still need to use the webpack command for the final compilation of client.min.js before uploading to github because of React warnings regarding production mode.
