This is material for a workhop teaching JavaScript, React and Test-Driven Development (TDD).

To get the most out of this workshop, you will need working knowledge of git, GitHub and the command line. If you're attending the workshop, please follow the Getting started section below before the workshop begins.

Getting started

2. Clone your fork to your local machine.
3. Ensure you meet the prerequisites by installing the software mentioned in the Prerequisites section below.

Prerequisites

Ensure you have node and yarn installed on your machine. If you're on a Mac, you can do this quite easily if you have Homebrew installed using the command:

brew install node yarn

Building

First of, install all dependencies:

yarn install

Run the tests:

yarn jasmine

You should see all tests passing (there will be a message saying "0 failures").

Now you can build the source using:

You should see a lot of green (maybe some yellow) but no red.

Running
