#TODO Update This Project description

Requirements

The app is built using Docker. On Intel Macs, Docker can be used natively or from within a Linux environment, which can be virtualized using Vagrant, VirtualBox, and Ansible:

• Vagrant 2.2+
• VirtualBox 6.0+
• Ansible 2.9+

On Apple Silicon Macs, and on Linux hosts, all you need is Docker.

Getting Started

Install the application and all required dependencies. For Vagrant-based development, use:

./scripts/setup --vagrant

For Docker-based development, use:

./scripts/setup --docker

Municipal data can be downloaded with a script:

./scripts/fetch-data

A pre-commit hook that runs the format script before any commit will be installed but can always be ignored with git commit --no-verify.

Development

Rebuild Docker images and run application.

vagrant up
vagrant ssh
./scripts/update
./scripts/server

After running setup (or resetdb), three test users are created:

User	Password	Role
[email protected]	password	administrator
[email protected]	password	validator
[email protected]	password	contributor

Ports

Service	Port
Webpack Dev Server	4545
Gunicorn for Django app	8181

Testing

./scripts/test

Scripts

For Vagrant-based development environments, run setup on your host, and all other scripts inside the Vagrant VM. For Docker-based development environments, all scripts should be run from the host.

Name	Description
cibuild	Build project for CI
clean	Free disk space by cleaning up dangling Docker images
console	Run interactive shell inside application container
lint	Lint source code
server	Run Docker Compose services
setup	Provision Vagrant VM and run update and resetdb
test	Run unit tests
update	Build Docker images
resetdb	Restore development database to defaults (with test data)

Adding NPM Packages

To add a new NPM package to the project:

• Manually add the package to the project's package.json file, ensuring that you pin it to a specific version.
• Run ./scripts/update in the VM.
• Commit the changes to the following files to git:
  • package.json
  • yarn.lock

Notes

• We usually pin packages to a specific version to minimize build errors.
• For packages in the regular/non-dev dependencies section of package.json, manually add the package name to the vendor array in webpack.config.json
