+## What you will need to get started

 
 

-<a name="module_Forum"></a>
+This project uses [node][node] for most of its development processes.
+Once you have node installed according to the instructions there, run
+`npm install` from the root of the project.

 
 

-## Forum
+For local development serve the page by running `npm run dev` from the
+root of the project.

 
 

-The Forum class is the main entry point for the backend application.
+This project depends on the [forum server][forum-server], so make sure
+that's running before starting.

-| ------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
-| config | [<code>tForumBackendConfiguration</code>](#tForumBackendConfiguration) | the initialization options to extend the instance |
+## Testing

 
 

-<a name="module_Forum+run"></a>
+You can run tests with `npm test`. The tests use `testing-library`, `pact`,
+and `jest`.

 
 

-### forum.run()
+Here's some short guidelines:

 
 

-Initializes the application and starts listening. Also prints a
-nice robotic banner with information.
+- Every component that receives props or changes state should be tested.
+- Test expected outcomes, not implementation details.
+- Avoid mocking unless it's an external call
+- Stores that interact with the API should be tested using pact
