The project uses [this github project boards to organise and the co-ordinate development](https://github.com/bbc/react-transcript-editor/projects).
_--> Work in progress <--_

<!-- _Screenshot of UI - optional_ -->

- [You can see a demo by clicking here](https://bbc.github.io/react-transcript-editor/iframe.html?id=demo--default) (and then click the `load demo` button)
- [And you can see a list of features here](./docs/features-list.md).

## Development env

 <!-- _How to run the development environment_ -->

- npm > `6.1.0`
- [Node 10 - dubnium](https://scotch.io/tutorials/whats-new-in-node-10-dubnium)

Node version is set in node version manager [`.nvmrc`](https://github.com/creationix/nvm#nvmrc)

## Setup

1. Fork this repository
2. Clone this repository to a directory of your choice
3. Run `npm i` to install dependencies

## Usage - development

We use a tool called [`storybook`](https://storybook.js.org)
to run the components locally. To start the Storybook, run:

```sh
npm start
```

Running that command should open the locally hosted Storybook, but if it doesn't,
visit [http://localhost:6006](http://localhost:6006)

## Usage - production

In order to use a published version of `react-transcript-editor`,
install the published module [`@bbc/react-transcript-editor`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@bbc/react-transcript-editor)
by running:

```sh
npm install @bbc/react-transcript-editor
```

```js
import TranscriptEditor from "@bbc/react-transcript-editor";
```

### Basic use case

```js
<TranscriptEditor
  transcriptData={someJsonFile}
  mediaUrl={"https://download.ted.com/talks/KateDarling_2018S-950k.mp4"}
/>
```

`transcriptData` and `mediaUrl` are non-optional props to use `TranscriptEditor`.
See the full list of options [here](#transcripteditor-props-list).

### Advanced use case

```js
<TranscriptEditor
  transcriptData={someJsonFile}
  mediaUrl={"https://download.ted.com/talks/KateDarling_2018S-950k.mp4"}
  handleAutoSaveChanges={this.handleAutoSaveChanges}
  autoSaveContentType={"digitalpaperedit"}
  isEditable={true}
  spellCheck={false}
  sttJsonType={"bbckaldi"}
  handleAnalyticsEvents={this.handleAnalyticsEvents}
  fileName={"ted-talk.mp4"}
  title={"Ted Talk"}
  ref={this.transcriptEditorRef}
  mediaType={"video"}
/>
```

| `mediaType`             | Can be `audio` or `video`. Changes the look of the UI based on media type.                                              |                           no                           |  String   | if not provided the component uses the `medialUrl` to determine the media type |

See [`./demo/app.js` demo](./demo/app.js) as a more detailed example usage of the component.

#### Local save

`fileName` is optional but it's needed if working with user uploaded local media in the browser,
to be able to save and retrieve from local storage.
For instance if you are passing a blob url to `mediaUrl` using `createObjectURL` this url is randomly re-generated on every page refresh so you wouldn't be able to restore a session, as `mediaUrl` is used as the local storage key. See demo app for more detail example of this[`./src/index.js`](./src/index.js)\_

### Typescript projects

If using in a parent project where [typescript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/) is being used you might need to add `//@ts-ignore` before the import statment like this

```js
//@ts-ignore
import { TranscriptEditor } from "@bbc/react-transcript-editor";
```

#### Internal components

##### Direct imports

You can also import some of the underlying React components directly.
See [the storybook](https://bbc.github.io/react-transcript-editor) for each component details on optional and required attributes.

- `TranscriptEditor`
- `TimedTextEditor`
- `MediaPlayer`
- `VideoPlayer`
- `Settings`
- `KeyboardShortcuts`
- `ProgressBar`
- `PlaybackRate`
- `PlayerControls`
- `RollBack`
- `Select`

To import the components you can do as follows

```js
import TimedTextEditor from "@bbc/react-transcript-editor/TimedTextEditor";
```

```js
import { TimedTextEditor } from "@bbc/react-transcript-editor";
```

##### Import recommendation

However if you are not using `TranscriptEditor` it is recommended to follow the second option and import individual components like: `@bbc/react-transcript-editor/TimedTextEditor` rather than the entire library.
Doing so pulls in only the specific components that you use, which can significantly reduce the amount of code you end up sending to the client. (Similarly to how [`react-bootstrap`](https://react-bootstrap.github.io/getting-started/introduction) works)

#### Other Node Modules (non-react)

Some of these node modules can be used as standalone imports.

##### Export Adapter

Converts from draftJs json format to other formats

```js
import exportAdapter from "@bbc/react-transcript-editor/exportAdapter";
```

##### STT JSON Adapter

Converts various stt json formats to draftJs

```js
import sttJsonAdapter from "@bbc/react-transcript-editor/sttJsonAdapter";
```

##### Conversion modules to/from Timecodes

Some modules to convert to and from timecodes

```js
import {
  secondsToTimecode,
  timecodeToSeconds,
  shortTimecode,
} from "@bbc/react-transcript-editor/timecodeConverter";
```

## System Architecture

- Uses [`storybook`](https://storybook.js.org) with the setup as [explained in their docs](https://storybook.js.org/docs/guides/guide-react/) to develop this React.
- This uses [CSS Modules](https://github.com/css-modules/css-modules) to contain the scope of the css for this component.
- [`.storybook/webpack.config.js](./.storybook/webpack.config.js) enables the storybook webpack config to add support for css modules.
- The parts of the component are inside [`./packages`](./packages)
- [babel.config.js](./babel.config.js) provides root level system config for [babel 7](https://babeljs.io/docs/en/next/config-files#project-wide-configuration).

## Documentation

There's a [docs](./docs) folder in this repository, which contains subdirectories to keep:

- [notes](./docs/notes): dev notes on various aspects of the project.
- [adr](./docs/adr): [Architecture Decision Record](https://github.com/joelparkerhenderson/architecture_decision_record).

### ADR

> An architectural decision record (ADR) is a document that captures an important architectural decision made along with its context and consequences.

We are using [this template for ADR](https://gist.github.com/iaincollins/92923cc2c309c2751aea6f1b34b31d95)

### QA

[There also QA testing docs](./docs/qa/README.md) to manual test the component before a major release, (QA testing does not require any technical knowledge).

## Build

> To transpile `./packages` and create a build in the `./dist` folder, run:

```sh
npm run build:component
```

To understand the build process, have a read through [this](./docs/guides/storybook-npm-setup.md).

## Demo & storybook

- **Storybook** can be viewed at [https://bbc.github.io/react-transcript-editor/](https://bbc.github.io/react-transcript-editor/)
- **Demo** can be viewed at [https://bbc.github.io/react-transcript-editor/iframe.html?id=demo--default](https://bbc.github.io/react-transcript-editor/iframe.html?id=demo--default)

To run locally, see [setup](#usage---development).

### Build - storybook

To build the storybook as a static site, run:

```sh
npm run build:storybook
```

This will produce a `build` folder containing the static site of the demo.
To serve the `build` folder locally, run:

```sh
npm run build:storybook:serve
```

#### Publishing to a web page

##### Github Pages

We use [github pages](https://pages.github.com/) to host the storybook and the [demo](https://help.github.com/articles/user-organization-and-project-pages/#project-pages-sites) of the component.
Make sure to add your changes to git, and push to `origin master` to ensure the code in `master` is reflective of what's online on `Github Pages`.
When you are ready, re-publish the Storybook by running:

```sh
npm run deploy:ghpages
```

## Tests

We are using [`jest`](https://jestjs.io/) for the testing framework.
To run tests, run:

```sh
npm run test
```

For convenience, during development you can use:

```sh
npm run test:watch
```

and watch the test be re-run at every save.

## Travis CI

On commit this repo uses the [.travis.yml](./.travis.yml) config to run the automated test on [travis CI](https://travis-ci.org/bbc/react-transcript-editor).

## Publish to NPM

To publish to [npm - `@bbc/react-transcript-editor`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@bbc/react-transcript-editor) run:

```sh
npm publish:public
```

This runs `npm run build:component` and `npm publish --access public` under the hood, building the component and publishing to NPM.

> Note that only `README.md` and the `dist` folders are published to npm.
