#p5.js Web Editor
This project is currently in the early stages of development! It will definitely be announced when it is in alpha/beta/etc.
##Development Installation
- Clone this repostory and cd into it
$ npm install
- Install MongoDB and make sure it is running
- Create a file called
.env
in the root of this directory that looks like
MONGO_URL=mongodb://localhost:27017/p5js-web-editor
PORT=8000
SESSION_SECRET=whatever_you_want_this_to_be_it_only_matters_for_production
AWS_ACCESS_KEY=<your-aws-access-key>
AWS_SECRET_KEY=<your-aws-secret-key>
S3_BUCKET=<your-s3-bucket>
GITHUB_ID=<your-github-client-id>
GITHUB_SECRET=<your-github-client-secret>
Or, if you don't want to do that, just ask me to send you mine. Refer to this gist for creating an S3 bucket for testing, or if you don't want to do that, I will send you my AWS credentials.
5. $ npm start
6. Navigate to http://localhost:8000 in your browser
7. Install the React Developer Tools.
8. Open and close the Redux DevTools using ctrl+h
, and move them with ctrl+w
##Production Installation
- Clone this repostory and
cd
into it $ npm install
- Install MongoDB and make sure it is running
- Create a file called
.env
in the root of this directory that looks like
MONGO_URL=mongodb://localhost:27017/p5js-web-editor
PORT=8000
SESSION_SECRET=make_this_a_long-random_string_like_maybe_126_characters_long
AWS_ACCESS_KEY=<your-aws-access-key>
AWS_SECRET_KEY=<your-aws-secret-key>
S3_BUCKET=<your-s3-bucket>
GITHUB_ID=<your-github-client-id>
GITHUB_SECRET=<your-github-client-secret>
Or, if you don't want to do that, just ask me to send you mine. Refer to this gist for creating an S3 bucket for testing, or if you don't want to do that, I will send you my AWS credentials.
5. $ npm run build
6. $ npm run start:prod
###For Production Setup with PM2
$ npm install -g pm2
$ pm2 start ecosystem.json
##Accessibility Guidelines
The code for the p5.js web editor adheres to web accessibility standards. The following guidelines will help to ensure that accessibility continues to be a priority as development continues.
Code Structure
- Screen Readers are an assistive technology for vision loss which helps users to navigate a web page. They are able to prioritize content based on the semantic meaning of HTML tags. Therefore, it is important to use specific tags, such as
nav
,ul
,li
,section
, and so on.div
is the least screen reader friendly tag. For example, here is the semantic meaning of thebody
tag - All buttons/links/windows need to be accessible by the keyboard ( By tabbing, pressing space etc.)
- In cases where tags are not screen reader friendly, we can take advantage of tabIndex. Using tabIndex ensures that all elements are accessible via keyboard. code example
- When opening a new window or pop up window, ensure the keyboard focus also moves to the new window. code example
Labeling
- When creating button icons, images, or something without text (this does not include an HTML5
<button>
), use aria-labels. code example - All
<table>
s need to have asummary
attribute. This will ensure user is given context to what the table is. code example ul
s andnav
s menus need to include a title. code example

##Contribution Guide I am currently open to contributors! Email me if you are looking for a task, or look at the open issues and reply that you are working on a task.
The p5.js Web Editor is built on a MERN stack - MongoDB, Express, React/Redux, and Node. For a reference to the file structure format I am using, please look at the Mern Starter and this comment.
This project does not use CSS Modules, but uses Sass. I like to follow BEM rules for CSS naming conventions, write OOSCSS with placeholders and mixins, and follow the 7-1 Pattern for Sass.
I'm using ES6 and transpiling to ES5 using Babel. For reference to the JavaScript style guide, see the Airbnb Style Guide, React ESLint Plugin.
I'm new to using ESLint, but I decided on a configuration based on some popular React/Redux boilerplates. Open to suggestions on this. If in development, you're getting annoyed with ESLint, you can remove it from webpack.config.dev.js
in the JavaScript loader, or disable any line from eslint by commenting at the end of the line // eslint-disable-line
.
