reactive-essays

WARNING: reactive-essays is currently under huge development. DO NOT USE IT AT THIS TIME!

This README is under construction.

This is a TypeScript + React.js library, inspired by Tangle. This is a tool to make your essays interactive and a systems thinking tool. It can be used by students and can teach them how to use React.

For more details, please visit our wiki.

Dependencies

(Dependencies means what you need for this library to work)

For more information on how to install stuff and other things, please go to the respective wiki page for dependencies.

Node.js

This project requires Node.js 16.13.0. It has been tested on 17.0.2. It didn't work. You can install it at nodejs.org. Click the left button. And then install. This requires admin access on your computer.

Visual Studio Code

Now, you must install an app called Visual Studio Code. It will be the editor we will use to write your code. If you already know how to program, you can skip ahead. Download it here. Download the stable build, and then install it. Then, you should follow any steps that are requested by the app. After that, you should see a bunch of icons on the right. Click the 5th icon from the top. It should open an extension menu.

Now we must install a few extensions. First, install "JavaScript and TypeScript Nightly" from Microsoft, "HTML CSS Support" from ecmel, "jshint" from Dirk Baeumer, and "TypeScript Extension Pack" by Loiane Groner. Now, you should have all the extensions necessary to code in TypeScript or JavaScript.

React.js

This project also requires React.js. When you downloaded Node.js, you also downloaded a command-line tool named npm. This is used for managing the different libraries. For example, for using this library you must install React.js through npm.
