(Concurrently) * npm npm install idb (IndexedDB) -
The required modules are bundled in the package.json file and at CLI or integrated terminal type in npm run install, the modules will be installed.
GIVEN a text editor web application, WHEN I open my application in my editor THEN I should see a client server folder structure Below is the screenshot of the client server folder structure. The folder structure have been set up or given in this structure.
WHEN I run `npm run start` from the root directory THEN I find that my application should start up the backend and serve the client WHEN I run the text editor application from my terminal THEN I find that my JavaScript files have been bundled using webpack WHEN I run my webpack plugins THEN I find that I have a generated HTML file, service worker, and a manifest file Below is the screenshot of the running at npm run start and npm run build
Below is the screenshot of the generated HTML, service worker and a manifest file
WHEN I use next-gen JavaScript in my application THEN I find that the text editor still functions in the browser without errors WHEN I open the text editor Below is the screenshot of the text editor "Just Another Text Editor (J.A.T.E)"
