scripts has been updated. These new scripts have been added:

• npm run build:type
  • npm run build:type --type=js will build the new js/#.js file into the public/bundles/#.js.
• npm run build:watch
  • npm run build:watch --type=css will watch changes on the css/get-this.css file, and build it in public/bundles/get-this.css.

dependabot

Set up dependabot to do monthly checks, with the exception of npm, which is weekly as there is now only one dependency to check.

Testing

• Install the updated packages (docker-compose run --rm web npm install).
• Make a CSS change, and build the styles (docker-compose run --rm web npm run build).
• Start the site to see if your change was made, and everything still works (docker-compose up).
• Make sure the PR is consistent in these browsers:
  • Chrome
  • Firefox
  • Safari
  • Edge
