Slack Clone Client

Based on the tutorial from https://awesomereact.com/playlists/slack-clone-using-graphql/0MKJ7JbVnFc.

Online demo at http://slack-clone.craigstroman.com/.

Running locally

• Clone the repo at https://github.com/craigstroman/slack-clone-client.git.
• CD into slack-clone-client.
• Run npm install to install all required Node moduels.
• Run npm run start to start the client development environment.
• You can visit http://localhost:3000 in the browser to view it. But to do anything you need the Slack Clone Server running in another terminal window locally.

Note: This is running on WebPack devServer and will automatically refresh when you make changes to the project.

Running in production

• CD into slack-clone-server.
• Run npm run prod.
• This will create a production build file of the JavaScript within /public/js/main.min.js.
• Upload the main.min.js to the /public directory within your production build of the server. For that I'm using Pug with Express.
