Front-end code and resources for the Raise platform.
It is built with Gatsby, hosted in a S3 bucket with CloudFront, and is available at joinraise.org.
Target audience: Raise volunteers who want to make small website content changes.
See the Editing your chapter's website doc.
See the main README for general instructions.
The site is built in the TypeScript language with the React framework. We use Gatsby to bundle this into a static site that loads quickly and supports a wide range of browsers.
For the donations platform, the site communicates with the server using Axios.
Generally we put the clever bits in the components and helpers folder. These are reused across the site, with the most obvious example of this being the templatised chapter homepages.
The pages themselves are stored in the pages folder, which correspond to paths off the root of the site, apart from the admin subfolder which uses Reach Router given its use of path parameters. This admin folder is the internal-facing management system for the donations platform.
The env folder holds configuration for deploying the site to different environments, most relevant to donations platform stuff.
There's some horrible scripts in package.json to build the MWA website. We copy everything to a tmp/web-mwa folder, replace src with src/cambridge and copy the built output back.
