Our JSDoc documentation has not been updated in a very long time, and
we don't use JSDoc in enough places for the docs to have been
especially useful. The tools and scripts used to generate and publish
these docs have been removed.
References to this documentation have also been removed from the
README.
Hopefully once the TypeScript migration has made substantial progress,
we can generate more useful documentation using something like TypeDoc.
We have recently dropped support for certain older browsers, and we're
planning to have a larger conversation soon about which browsers to
support going forward. In preparation for this, it might be worth
recommending that users use the latest browser version.
As a solution to the constant lockfile churn issues we've had with
`npm`, the project now uses `yarn` to manage dependencies.
The `package-lock.json` file has been replaced with `yarn.lock`, which
was created using `yarn import`. It should approximate the contents of
`package-lock.json` fairly well, though there may be some changes due to
deduplication. The codeowners file has been updated to reference this
new lockfile.
All documentation and npm scripts have been updated to reference `yarn`
rather than `npm`. Note that running scripts using `npm run` still works
fine, but it seemed better to switch those to `yarn` as well to avoid
confusion.
The `npm-audit` Bash script has been replaced with `yarn-audit`. The
output of `yarn audit` is a bit different than `npm audit` in that it
returns a bitmask to describe which severity issues were found. This
made it simpler to check the results directly from the Bash script, so
the associated `npm-audit-check.js` script was no longer required. The
output should be exactly the same, and the information is still sourced
from the same place (the npm registry).
The new `yarn-audit` script does have an external dependency: `jq`.
However, `jq` is already assumed to be present by another CI script, and
is present on all CI images we use. `jq` was not added to `package.json`
as a dependency because there is no official package on the npm
registry, just wrapper scripts. We don't need it anywhere exept on CI
anyway.
The section in `CONTRIBUTING` about how to develop inside the
`node_modules` folder was removed, as the advice was a bit dated, and
wasn't specific to this project anyway.
These files were referencing npm scripts that no longer existed. Notices
appear to no longer exist, and the `ui-dev.js` module is no longer
actively used.
The `mock-dev.js` module is still used for certain integration tests, so
I've just removed the reference to the non-existent script.
* Add React and Redux DevTools
* Conditionally load react-devtools
* Add start:dev npm script to run the app with devtools

Omit requiring mocha to be installed globally; this is not required
for any of the listed commands. Also update the `lint` command to use
the npm script, as the gulp command referenced doesn't exist.
