Welcome!

I am thrilled to announce 😂 that I am releasing my backend code and frontend code to the community as open source. This has been a long-time goal of mine and I am excited to see the impact it will have.

By making the code available to all, I am hoping to attract contributions from other developers that can help enhance the codebase. This will result in a stronger and more reliable code, as well as promote collaboration and creativity within the community.

I believe that this open source release will be a great step forward for the project and I can't wait to see what the community will create with it.

✨ The Client

This is the code for the front-end side of http://weightxreps.net

Weight For Reps is a training journal logging tool to help you keep track of your weight training. Mostly orientated towards Powerlifting/Weightlifting style of training.

This is a React App that was created with Create React App and it uses Apollo Client to comunicate with the server vía GraphQL using Hooks created with a GraphQL Code Generator by the backend side during development.

If you are developing both backend and front end, know that the sever mustgenerates code after modifying the gpahql schema, and the 2 files it will generate must be copyed to the client (these contain the react hooks the client use to interact with the graphql server): - generated---db-introspection.json - generated---db-types-and-hooks.tsx

---

☕ Run client

I'm using github codespaces to edit the code, it uses the .devcontainer folder to create a dev environment ready to go. You can open this in Visual Studio Code Dev Containers too.

1. To develop while pointing to the live website endpoint (will use real data)

npm run start:production

⚠️ This will we the same as visiting the site weightxreps.net the data will be all real because the client will point to the production graphql endpoint.

2. If you are also running the backend, to connect to it, declare an env var (see .env.example) REACT_APP_REMOTE_SERVER and give it the full url to the server endpoint including the /graphql at the end (not just the host) and run:

npm run start

👀 Some key stuff to know...

Some things you need to know to save you some time from understanding the source:

• src\data\db.js creation of the ApolloClient and endpoints.
• src\codemirror\LogTextEditor.js the Workout Editor (uses a custom Code Mirror mode)
• src\componentes\journal\editor.js React Component for the Editor
• src\componentes\journal\jparser.js Text parser to understandable tokens.
• src\data\Menu.js the data from the main menu of the site.
• src\session code related to handling of the user session.
