Getting Started with Create React App

This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.

Tutorial

General Information

  • Custom theming: https://www.tumblr.com/docs/de/custom_themes doesn't seem to work.
  • Tumblr Editor doesn't recognize template variables including ':' symbols (e.g. {block:ifMetaTag} won't work).
  • Usage of the Tumblr API V2: https://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/api/v2 is necessary.

Create your environment files to declare global variables:

REACT_APP_API_KEY=YOUR_TUMBLR_API_KEY
REACT_APP_API_URL=https://api.tumblr.com/v2/blog/YOUR_TUMBLR_URL
  • .env.development (used with npm run start in development mode)
  • .env.production (used with npm run build for a production build)

Routing

Common Tumblr endpoints are used with react-router-dom in this project:

  • /page/:pageNumber
  • /post/:postId
  • /post/:postId/:caption
  • /tagged/:tag
  • /tagged/:tag/page/:pageNumber

Parameters get extracted and will fetch the according posts.

Deployment on Tumblr

  • Run npm run build to build a production build
  • Move <script defer="defer" src="/static/js/main.xxx.js"></script> from <head> to the end of the <body> tag to prevent Error: Minified React error #200;
  • Run npm run inline to inline index.html that creates an inline.html for deployment
  • Copy the complete content from build/inline.html and paste it into the Tumblr Editor
  • Preview in Tumblr Editor might be unavailable

Available Scripts

In the project directory, you can run:

npm start

Runs the app in the development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.

The page will reload if you make edits.
You will also see any lint errors in the console.

npm test

Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.
See the section about running tests for more information.

npm run build

Builds the app for production to the build folder.
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.

The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.
Your app is ready to be deployed!

See the section about deployment for more information.

npm run eject

Note: this is a one-way operation. Once you eject, you can’t go back!

If you aren’t satisfied with the build tool and configuration choices, you can eject at any time. This command will remove the single build dependency from your project.

Instead, it will copy all the configuration files and the transitive dependencies (webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc) right into your project so you have full control over them. All of the commands except eject will still work, but they will point to the copied scripts so you can tweak them. At this point you’re on your own.

You don’t have to ever use eject. The curated feature set is suitable for small and middle deployments, and you shouldn’t feel obligated to use this feature. However we understand that this tool wouldn’t be useful if you couldn’t customize it when you are ready for it.
