Epic Workshop (epicshop)

The Epic Workshop app (sometimes referred to as epicshop) is the local workshop environment used for EpicWeb.dev workshops. It’s a React Router v7 app that runs on your machine and provides a guided learning experience (exercises, steps, diffs, videos, progress, etc.).

If you’re here because you want to run a workshop, you probably want the epicshop CLI.

Quick start (learners)

npx epicshop init

That interactive setup will:

• Choose where to store your workshops
• Clone and set up the epicshop-tutorial
• Start the workshop app

Once you’ve added a workshop you can run it from inside the workshop folder:

epicshop start

Contributing

npm run setup
npm run validate

Useful scripts:

• npm run lint / npm run format
• npm run test (unit) / npm run test:e2e (playwright)
• npm run precommit to run the same checks as the Git pre-commit hook
• npm run prepush to run the same checks as the Git pre-push hook

Git hooks are installed automatically via npm install/npm run setup with Husky:

• pre-commit: formats staged files with Oxfmt via lint-staged, then runs linting, type checking, and builds the workspace
• pre-push: runs the test suite before allowing a push
