Technology

This project is bootstrapped through create-react-app.

• tailwindcss for the styling
• typefaces for self hosted fonts
• react-testing-library for the tests
• Redux and redux-saga for interactive elements and state management

Architectural approach

The project root is App.js which brings in the routing, main tailwind styling and app level depedencies like typefaces.

The App.js imports all the app-chrome for things like header, navigation etc and this is kept outside of everything dynamic.

The App.js contains a body which is where all the pages are rendered into.

The app is organised into pages which roughly map 1-1 to routes, so /editor will render pages/editor.js kind of borrowing he idea from things like Next.

The pages are responsible for pulling in features and composing them into a single page. Features can be re-used between pages. The pages are responsible for applying page level layout to components such as widths, heights, positions and margins and paddings to compose the desired output. features do have some layout responsiblities etc but as a rule these are applied internally.
