MY-REACT-PROJECT

A monorepo-style collection of small React projects / demos. This README lists each project included in the repository, how to run them locally, common troubleshooting tips, deployment notes, and contribution guidance.

NOTE: The short descriptions are placeholders based on folder names — please update each project's description to reflect what it actually does.

Project overview This repository contains many small React projects and demos (each in its own top-level folder). Each project is intended to be runnable independently. Typical structure for each project:

• package.json
• src/ (React source)
• public/ or index.html (for Vite)
• README.md (optional per-project README)

Projects (folders shown in the repository)

• bg-changer — small demo to change background colors / gradients
• course-page — a UI for a course / landing page
• currency-converter — a currency conversion demo
• dark — dark-mode demo or theme example
• dash — lightweight dashboard example
• doc-finder — document search / finder demo
• lenis — demo possibly showing Lenis smooth-scrolling integration
• macos — macOS-like UI demo
• mind-pal — small app (mind / memory related tool)
• minicontext — tiny example of React context usage
• mood-scanner — mood detection / mood selector demo
• personafusion — demo combining persona UI elements
• react-bun — experiment using Bun or React with Bun
• rou-dom — routing / DOM experiments (react-router demo)
• skillswap — skill exchange / listing demo
• tracker — Live Location Tracker

If you have additional folders not listed above, add them into the same list with a short description.

How to run a single project

1. Open a terminal.
2. cd into the project folder you want to run, for example:
   • cd currency-converter
3. Install dependencies:
   • npm install
   • or yarn
4. Start the dev server:
   • If the project uses Create React App: npm start
   • If the project uses Vite: npm run dev
   • If the project uses another tool or custom script: check package.json for the "start", "dev" or "serve" script

Example:

• cd bg-changer
• npm install
• npm start (or npm run dev)

How to run many projects at once (developer convenience)

• Option A (manual): open multiple terminals and run each project separately.
• Option B (monorepo tooling): if you want to manage them together, consider adding a root-level package.json and using:
  • npm workspaces
  • pnpm workspaces
  • yarn workspaces
  • Or use a tool like nx / Turborepo for task orchestration.
• Option C (concurrently): add a root npm script using concurrently to run many cd project && npm start commands in parallel.

Detecting the project type (CRA / Vite / Bun / other)

• Open the project's package.json:
  • If you see "react-scripts" -> Create React App (npm start)
  • If you see "vite" -> Vite (npm run dev)
  • If you see references to "bun" or a bun.lockb file -> Bun experiment
  • If you see custom scripts, follow them

Suggested per-project README (Place inside each project folder)

• Short description of the project
• Quick start (install + run commands)
• Build command (npm run build)
• Environment variables required
• Known issues / notes

Environment variables

• If a project uses environment variables, put them in a .env file in that project's folder.
• For Create React App, env vars must start with REACT_APP_
• For Vite, env vars use VITE_ prefix (e.g., VITE_API_URL)

Common troubleshooting

• If "npm start" fails:
  • Check package.json scripts
  • Delete node_modules and reinstall: rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json && npm install
• If port conflicts occur:
  • Use environment variable or change the port (PORT=3001 npm start)
• CORS: if fetching remote APIs during dev, use a backend proxy or configure the backend for CORS

Testing

• Check each project's package.json for test scripts (npm test).
• Many small demos may not include tests. If you add tests, prefer Jest + React Testing Library.

Linting & formatting

• Consider adding consistent tooling across projects:
  • ESLint (shared config)
  • Prettier
  • Husky + lint-staged for pre-commit checks

Deployment

• Vercel / Netlify are ideal for small React projects.
  • Connect the repo, set the project's root (when deploying a single project from a monorepo, set the "root directory" in the deploy settings).
  • Build command: npm run build
  • Output directory: build (CRA) or dist (Vite)
• GitHub Pages: can publish a single project from the repo using gh-pages; set the homepage and publishing script for that project only.
• Docker: for more complex deployments, dockerize each project with a small static server (nginx or serve).

Example Vercel configuration (deploying a single project from monorepo):

• Project settings:
  • Root Directory: currency-converter
  • Framework Preset: Create React App / Vite
  • Build Command: npm install && npm run build
  • Output Directory: build (CRA) or dist (Vite)

Contributing

• If you want contributors:
  • Add a contribution guide: CONTRIBUTING.md
  • Add issue templates and PR templates
  • Suggest a branch strategy (feature/*)
  • Request tests for larger PRs

Repository maintenance recommendations

• Add a top-level package.json if you want shared devDependencies (tooling, linting).
• Optionally migrate to a monorepo manager (pnpm workspace, npm workspaces, or Turborepo) to simplify running scripts for multiple projects.
• Add per-project README.md so visitors can quickly open a single project and run it.

License

• Add a LICENSE file at the top-level (e.g., MIT) if you want to open-source this collection.

Tips I left for you:

• Add a one-line description for each project folder to replace the placeholders above.
• If you’d like, I can:
  • generate per-project README.md files automatically (based on package.json),
  • detect each project type (CRA/Vite/Bun) and list exact start/build commands,
  • create a root-level package.json to manage common scripts,
  • or commit this README.md into the repository for you.
