HackRPI-Website-2025-Demo

The HackRPI Website hackrpi.com for our 2025 Hackathon at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

Tech Stack 💻

A simple, front-end only website with NextJS, React, TailwindCSS, and TypeScript.

Getting Started

1. Clone the repository with Git

2. Create a file named amplify_outputs.json, in that file just add {}. This file is used for our Schedule page backend, but I don't want to have to give everyone access to AWS. If you need access to modify the schedule page, then please contact the Director of Technology, and they will give you a proper amplify_outputs.json file.

3. Install the dependencies with npm

   npm i
   

4. Run the development server with npm

   npm run dev
   

Testing 🧪

We use Jest and React Testing Library for testing. Tests are organized into three categories:

1. Unit Tests: For testing utility functions and isolated logic
2. Component Tests: For testing React components in isolation
3. Integration Tests: For testing how components work together

To run all tests:

npm test

To run tests in watch mode (useful during development):

npm run test:watch

To generate a coverage report:

npm run test:ci

For more information about testing, see the testing documentation.
