Code Your Dreams

Equipping K-12 and adult students with the skills and resources to innovate technology solutions for our world.

The Code Your Dreams (CYD) Curriculum Portal is an app that helps the CYD team provide access to course materials for chapter members across each organization. It is a tool that organizes files hosted in the cloud (like in Google Drive or Dropbox) by creating a single location where members can come to find links to all of the materials they need for their chapter. The portal provides organization for chapters and members, courses and links to course materials, as well as other administrative use cases.

Prerequisites

• (If there is no need for the app to appear in search engines, then this step can be ignored.) The code is written to be installed in a testing environment. Once the app is deployed it needs to be configured to allow search engine indexing. There are two files to update:

  1. robots.js : Delete the following lines of code, 12 and 1-4. Line 12, disallow: "/", is what blocks server indexing across the entire app. The first four lines are for comments that are no longer needed.

      // This file is temporarily set to disallow all bots
      // Set to [allow: "/",] when the app goes live
      // Also included a spot for generating a sitemap when ready
     
      export default function robots() {
        return {
          rules: {
            userAgent: "*",
            disallow: "/api/",
            disallow: "/portal/",
            disallow: "/style/",
            disallow: "/",
          },
          // sitemap: 'https://acme.com/sitemap.xml',
        }
      }
     

  2. layout.js : Delete the following code, lines 11-14. These lines prevent any indexing by web crawlers directly on the webpages.

      // Temporarily adding in to prevent indexing of the build site
      robots: {
        index: false,
      },
     

QA Test Cases

The following section provides a comprehensive list of tests that should be performed to ensure that all functions of the application are working as intended. It is split apart into the different app user types and the aspects of the apps that they use.

QA prerequisites:

• An Auth0 account is required for the app to function.
• The Auth0 credentials must be added to the .env file.
• A CYD super admin account must be created in Auth0.
• Notes
  • The app was built for use on a desktop and responsive design for mobile/table was not taken into consideration during development.
  • Modals do not auto-save, so any changes must be followed by clicking the "Save" button.
