Employee directory is a sample application that allows you to look up employees by name, view the details of an employee, call, text, or email an employee, and navigate up and down the org chart.

This version of Employee Directory is built with React and Node.js.

You can test the application in your browser:

• Using the hosted version
• By running the application's Node.js server locally
• By deploying the application's Node.js server on Heroku

You can also run the application as a hybrid app in Cordova.

Click here to run the hosted version in your browser.

1. Make sure you have an up-to-date version of Node.js installed on your system. If you don't have Node.js installed, you can install it from here.

2. Clone this repository

3. On the command line, navigate (cd) to the directory-react-nodejs folder

4. Install the server dependencies

npm install

1. Start the server

node server

1. Open a browser and access: http://localhost:5000

Click the "Deploy to Heroku" button at the top of this page to deploy the application to your own Heroku instance.

1. Make sure you have an up-to-date version of Node.js installed on your system. If you don't have Node.js installed, you can install it from here.

2. Open a terminal window (Mac) or a command window (Windows), and install Cordova:

npm install -g cordova

On a Mac, you may have to use sudo depending on your system configuration:

sudo npm install -g cordova

1. If you already have Cordova installed on your computer, make sure you update to the latest version:

npm update -g cordova

or

sudo npm update -g cordova

1. Using the Cordova CLI, create an application named employee-directory:

cordova create react-directory

1. Delete the default www folder in the react-directory folder that was just created

2. Copy the www folder from this repository to the Cordova project's employee-directory folder

3. Add cordova.js as the first script in index.html

   <script src="cordova.js"></script>
   

   codova.js doesn't need to be in your www folder. It is automatically injected by the Cordova CLI during the build process

4. Modify www/js/data-service.js and set the baseURL variable to the URL where your Node.js server is running. For example:

   var baseURL = 'http://reactjs-directory.herokuapp.com';
