This is the repository for Project 4: Evaluate a News Article with Natural Language Processing of the Udacity Front End Web Developer Nanodegree Program.
- create asynchronous web app that uses Web API and user input (URL) to dynamically update the UI for the App
- use Webpack as build tool for Production and Development Environment
- Provide results of NLP analysis for a given URL back to the user via the web interface (and command line)
- Use Jest Framework for Unit Testing
- Use Service Workers to support offline functionality
- Node.js for Webserver with Express
- Axios for promise based requests usage together with Node.js
- Build tool Webpack for Production and Development Environment (additional Webpack dev server with proxy)
- Jest Framework for Unit Testing
- Service Workers for offline functionality
- Natural Language Processing (Sentiment Analysis) for given URLs
- Sentiment Analysis via external API - Meaningcloud
- Styles with SCSS
- Babel to make recent JS Code backwards compatible
- download repository
- check Node.js installation in Terminal with
node --versionand install if not present - install dependencies via npm (included with Node.js) with
npm install - run test script via
npm run test - run development environment via
npm run build-devwith dev server running onlocalhost:8080 - Remark for dev mode: to test API calls during development mode a proxy was configured via Webpack so the command
node src/server/index.jsneeds to be run in a separate command line window in the project root directory to start the express server on port 8081 - run production environment via
npm run startwhich starts express server onlocalhost:8081 - production build can be run separately via
npm run build-prod
- using webpack-cli 4.x requires beta version
[email protected]to make the webpack dev server work again - as this project uses Webpack 5 the required
optimize-css-assets-webpack-pluginwas not supported anymore, changed tocss-minimizer-webpack-plugin
