Zuriportfolio - Frontend

This is a Nextjs, Typescript and Tailwindcss project.

Getting Started

This project uses yarn workspaces as default monorepo architecture.

First clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/hngx-org/zuriportfolio-frontend.git

Install all dependencies

yarn install

Run the development server:

npm run dev
# or
yarn dev
# or
pnpm dev

Types

As you know by now that this is a typescript based project. Please all types must be created separately in the type or @types directly outside of the componentss folder. If your components require a custom type, create them inside a folder called types or @types and export it to be used somewhere else.

Commit Standards

Branches

  • dev -> pr this branch for everything frontend related
  • main -> dont touch this branch, this is what is running in production.

Contributions

zuriportfolio is open to contributions, but I recommend creating an issue or replying in a comment to let us know what you are working on first that way we don't overwrite each other.

Code Explanation

API Calls

A separate folder called http which contains axios.ts and index.ts files where created to handle any outgoing or incoming http request/response. the index.ts file should contain all outgoing API calls to the backend server.

❗❗Do not create any custom http calls inside a page or components. Whatever calls that need to be processed by the server should be called within the index.ts file.

Custom Authentication Handler

Within the helpers folder contains two different files called withAuth.tsx and withoutAuth.tsx.

  • WithAuth.tsx :- contains two HOF called withUserAuth and withAdminAuth which are functions that wraps every components that needs protection or protected route components for user and admin respectively. for eg Dashboard or any other page that require the user to be loggedIn. All you have to do is import the cusstom handler and wrap your component inside it. i.e
withUserAuth(Dashboard);
withUserAuth(Promotion);

for e.g AnalyticsAndReportingLayouts or any other page that require the user to be an admin before they access it. All you have to do is import the custom handler and wrap your component inside it. i.e

withAdminAuth(AnalyticsAndReportingLayouts);
withAdminAuth(SanctionedProducts);
  • WithoutAuth.tsx :- is the opposite of withAuth.tsx HOF. It only meant to be used to prevent loggedIn users from redirecting or navigating to a page. i.e when a user is loggedIn and you dont want them to view a certain page, use this function.
withoutAuth(Login);
withoutAuth(Signup);

MainLayout.tsx

Within this file contains a MainLayout component, rather than calling Footer, Sidebar, TopBar component on every file manually, all you have to do is first invoke the <MainLayout> component inside any page before adding the children of that page.

for eg

import Link from 'next/link';
import MainLayout from '../components/Layout/MainLayout';

function Home() {
  return (
    <MainLayout activePage="home" showDashboardSidebar showTopbar>
      <p className="text-dark-100">Home Page</p>
    </MainLayout>
  );
}

export default Home;

you also get to decide whether to show the footer or sidebar using the available props.
