Create GitHub actions to test any code before merging

[upkarlidder]

Background on the problem the feature will solve/improved user experience

Add GitHub Actions to test and build new code pushed to a branch or committed to a pull request. Code that passes all the steps in the GitHub action can be merged in the repository.

Describe the solution you'd like

A GitHub action runs whenever code is committed to any branch or PR is made to the main branch for each of the following components:

• [ ] server
• [ ] client
• [ ] react/client

Refer to a similar action that was implemented for the UI folder in Five Fifths Voter project.

Each action will

• [ ] install dependencies
• [ ] build for production
• [ ] run all tests
• [ ] linting with prettier. Discuss with the team on what linter to use.

Tasks

• [ ] Ensure install, build and lint steps run locally on your system
• [ ] Read more about GitHub actions
• [ ] Create an action for each folder. You can read more JavaScript build actions here.
• [ ] Commit and push your GitHub action code.
• [ ] Go to the Actions tab to see if it worked.

Acceptance Criteria

GitHub action runs for every new code commit and PR.

I've done the same for FairChange. Can I take this issue?

Hi! I added github actions for the server and client. The server one is giving me a lot of errors when executing npm test. Does anyone know if the tests are broken or if I am missing a setup step? Here a link to the build error - > https://github.com/arianahl/Truth-Loop/runs/3965866995?check_suite_focus=true

@arianahl Maybe skip the react-admin under server. Try this. I get errors there too. "test": "jest --detectOpenHandles --testPathIgnorePatterns react-admin",
