Coding Conventions

This site is built with the Next.js framework in Typescript using React.

The user interface is primarily built using components from Material-UI and we use Material-UI's styling solution @material-ui/styles to manage CSS.

Code formatting and style is managed automatically with Prettier and ESLint. This is automatically run before each git commit by husky.

Timestamps are represented in ISO 8601 format, such as "2020-06-20T08:00-07:00" for June 20, 2020 at 8am Pacific Daylight Time or "2020-11-12T18:00-08:00" for November 12 at 6pm Pacific Standard Time.

As we are deployed on Netlify, the site is built in a way such that it can be statically rendered statically as plain HTML with next export, there are no routes that depend on any server-side code.

Asset Conventions

PDFs, zip files, and other data formats that are not displayed inline on the web are stored in the public folder. These URLs map directly to the website, e.g. public/favicon.ico is available from https://www.missionbit.org/favicon.ico.

Icons and user interface elements should be in SVG format. It's recommended to embed these as React components as that makes it possible to apply styles to them from the document. One example would be the expand button we use on FAQs, if it was not an inline SVG we would have to have a separate file for each color. See components/icons/ for examples of this technique.

Fonts should be hosted locally in woff and woff2 formats. The files should be stored in the public/fonts/ folder, the styles can be added to site using a component components/fonts/ that is referenced from the main Layout component. Take care to only include font weights that are in use on the site, and choose the files carefully as fonts are large. Generally we only depend on the Latin character set so we may use fonts that only include those glyphs.

For vector content (diagrams, logos, etc.), it's preferable to use an SVG formatted file. These are generally smaller than their bitmap counterpart (JPG, PNG) and are scalable up or down without loss of quality. If drawn by hand or generated by processing a bitmap image, the paths should be simplified first using Illustrator or a similar tool. See public/images/ for examples of these. Generally the images are in a folder with the same name as the page it is associated with.

Other images (JPG, PNG) such as photos on the site are passed through next-optimized-images. The source resolution on our site is typically the highest resolution that they may be displayed. For example, the team headshots are currently saved at 400x400, which is much smaller than the original photos. Ideally, we host at least two versions of each image (jpg or png, and webp) as an optimization for modern browsers. In some cases, such as the large photos for student testimonials, we also have multiple sizes of each image. This is a trade-off that allows us to improve load times for users who have smaller screens. In the future we may be able to generate these resized images automatically, but the current next-optimized-images can resize an image or convert it to webp but not both. See public/images/ for examples of these. Generally the images are in a folder with the same name as the page it is associated with.

Commonly Updated Components

Home:

• components/index/Alerts.tsx - The alert displayed on the landing page. Update this whenever something interesting is happening soon.
• components/index/Stats.tsx - The statistics we show should be updated at least once per semester.
• components/index/StudentTestimonials.tsx - If we get new student testimonials, they can be added here. Note that we also need images, and that the text should be kept short so that it does not get cropped on smaller screens.

About:

• components/about/TeamData.tsx - Adding or removing team members (core, student advisory board, teachers, board) can be done here. Note that each member should have a corresponding photo.
• components/about/Jobs.tsx - This lists the current job openings. We currently link to PDFs for each position.

Programs:

• components/programs/ClassInstanceData.tsx - The data for each class and workshop. We may want to revisit the naming of these variables to be less specific to spring/summer/etc.
• components/programs/Enroll.tsx - There's text here that will need to change from semester to semester.
• components/programs/Faq.tsx - The FAQs may also change from semester to semester.

Events:

• components/events/index.tsx - This page gets updated from semester to semester to reference new workshops, whenever we have events such as a demo day, and when we have new videos related to past events.

Runbook

The site is deployed by Netlify for both production and PR deployment previews.

The Netlify dashboard is at app.netlify.com/sites/missionbit/overview. Contact bob@missionbit.org or cora@missionbit.org if you need access to this team for some reason.

The deployment configuration is at app.netlify.com/sites/missionbit/settings/deploys. These environment variables are used by APIs on the site:

• SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN - Sentry authorization token (for marking releases)
• SENTRY_ORG - Set to mission-bit
• SENTRY_PROJECT - Set to mission-bit
• SENDGRID_API_KEY - API key for sending email
• STRIPE_PK_LIVE - Publishable key for missionbit.org
• STRIPE_SK_LIVE - Secret key for missionbit.org
• STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SIGNING_SECRET_LIVE - Webhook signing key for missionbit.org
• STRIPE_PK_TEST - Publishable key for testing (PR builds)
• STRIPE_SK_TEST - Secret key for testing (PR builds)
• STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SIGNING_SECRET_TEST - Webhook signing key for testing (PR builds)

The webhook for Stripe should be at https://www.missionbit.org/api/webhook for the following event types:

• checkout.session.completed
• invoice.payment_succeeded
• invoice.payment_failed

DNS is currently hosted by:

• Cloudflare (missionbit.com)
• Azure (missionbit.org)
• Netlify (missionbits.com, missionbits.org)

Errors are collected with sentry.io at sentry.io/organizations/mission-bit/issues/?project=5269525

Donations are processed with Stripe.

In order to test the Stripe integration locally, you must set the environment variables below. You can find their values from the netlify dashboard and from Stripe's Developer settings while viewing test data.

With local and PR deployments the Stripe integration is in test mode, so test cards should be used such as 4242 4242 4242 4242.

You should use the STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SIGNING_SECRET_TEST key generated by having Stripe CLI listen in a separate terminal before starting the dev server:

stripe listen --forward-to=http://localhost:3000/api/webhook

The easiest way to ensure they are set is to create a .env file in this directory with the following format (actual key suffixes replaced by REDACTED):

STRIPE_PK_TEST=pk_test_REDACTED
STRIPE_SK_TEST=sk_test_REDACTED
STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SIGNING_SECRET_TEST=whsec_REDACTED
SENDGRID_API_KEY=REDACTED
