## Getting started
1. `npm install`
2. `npm start` ([localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000))
3. `npm test` (run jest + coverage on [localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080))

## "Forking" outside of Github
To use this base in other git software (not Github) you will have to manually manage the upstream.
Go into your existing repo and execute the following commands:
1. `git remote add upstream <clone-url>`
2. `git pull upstream master` # or other branchname
3. `git push`
Then, when you need to sync again you can repeat step 2 and 3
## Configuration
This starter kit comes with runtime configuration out-of-the-box.
It achieves this with 2 config files in the public directory: `config.js` and `configOverrides.js`.
`config.js` is meant to be filled with a default for all of your application's runtime configurations.
`configOverrides.js` is meant to be replaced during deployment with environment specific runtime overrides.
### Using the `config.ts` file
To use the config you import `Config` from `config.ts` and use the typed object:
```tsx
import { Config } from "../config";
import { FunctionComponent } from "react";
export const Navbar: FunctionComponent<{}> = () => {
return <h1>{JSON.stringify(Config)}</h1>;
};
```
### adding values
To add a value to the runtime config you have to take 2 steps:
1. Add a type to the `RuntimeConfig` type in [src/infrastructure/config/RunTimeConfig.ts](./src/infrastructure/config/RunTimeConfig.ts)
```tsx
type RunTimeConfig = {
version: number;
name: string;
myNewKey: string;
};
```
2. Add a key (if required) to [public/config.js](./public/config.js)
