## Developing
|

||
|
||
<details>
|
||
<summary>Initial Dev Setup</summary>
|
||
|
||
This repository is structured as a monorepo and contains many Node.JS packages. Each package has
|
||
its own set of commands, but the most common commands are available from the
|
||
root `[package.json](package.json)` and can be accessed using the `npm run ...` command. Here
|
||
are the only three commands you should need to start developing on the app.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Install and Link Dependencies
|
||
npm run bootstrap
|
||
|
||
# Run Tests
|
||
npm test
|
||
|
||
# Start App with Live Reload
|
||
npm run app-start
|
||
```
|
||
|
||

|
||

||
