MadClones

Dev | Staging | Master

Welcome to my mono repo madClones. Started as a small monolith project to build a trello clone, it turned out to be the best project I ever started: it is basically my playground and I have lots of fun with it.

You will not only see a wide variety of front end technologies and a couple of microservices written in different languages and frameworks, but also an emphasis on software design and architecture.

I am a fan of Software Craftsmanship, TDD, BDD and CI practices; therefore this project’s main goal is to follow
all the coding standard and best practices.

Do no hesitate to contribute and/or send me feedback on twitter.

Where to get help

ES6: if you want to quickly be up to date with javascript best practices,
AirBNB repo is a gold mine. Read it.

React: AirBnB and
RisingStack

NodeJS: again I will redirect you to RisingStack.
They are awesome and they care about open source.

CodinGame: practicing your algorithm solving skills is a great way to write better code. CodinGame will push you
to another level by making you think about the correct data structure, api and algorithm, to use.

Inspiration

React Trello Board: I used their implementation of React Drag and Drop because it is great

Contribution guidelines

1. Start with the open issues
2. No direct commit on master or develop.
3. Create a branch from develop with issue number as a name. Example: TOC I#1 (TOC = Trello Clone and I = issue)
4. Code should be accompanied with unit tests with 100% code coverage (whether it is on the client side or the server side).
5. Make a pull request.
6. End to end testing are not required for now.

Repository structure

The repository is divided into two folders. The Client which contains a react and a vue application and the Server which contains microservices.

I am very happy with the way both applications are structured and working daily to improve on it.
