Linter/Formatter Setup

Eslint and Prettier are both used in the repo and will need to be installed for PRs to pass build checks,

Eslint will need to be installed globally, npm i -g eslint and the eslint VS-Code extension can be useful, but is not required

Prettier will need to be installed globally also, npm i -g prettier and the prettier VS-Code extension is highly recommended and to have it configured to format on save, which is described below.

To set Prettier to format on save you will need to go to your JSON settings in VS-Code and add one or all of the lines below:

// Default (format when you paste)
"editor.formatOnPaste": true,
// Default (format when you save)
"editor.formatOnSave": true,
//Language specific
"[javascript]": {
   "editor.formatOnSave": true
},

Important Info

When submitting PRs always remember to run rush clean before submitting a PR and merging it. We do NOT want auto generated files in the source code to reduce noise. If you forget to run this command, there is now an automated Action that will alert you when it finds any of the build files present on a PR branch.

Updating Package Versions

To update the package versions you need to run a few commands.

To check to see what all has been changed and if its good to bump versions execute:

rush change

You might need to run another command if some issues come up, this command will list any of the issues rush found:

rush check

Once you're good to go with all the checks to bump versions:

# will bump the default version policy, usually the lockstep one
rush version --bump
# will bump a specific version policy
rush version --bump --version-policy={policyName}

Container Development

To have your docker dev environment work you will need to update your hosts file to accommodate the services urls.

A PowerShell script is available in the scripts folder that will automatically set these up or you can manually navigate to your systems hosts file location C:\System32\drivers\etc\hosts or /etc/hosts and add all of the entries listed in the PowerShell script mentioned above.

A docker dev environment is available to use with the following commands.

# Spin up new Dev Env
rush docker-up:dev

# Spin up new Dev Env but builds fresh
docker compose up -d --build

# Shuts down the Env
rush docker-down:dev

For more commands you can always run rush --help and all native, as well as custom commands will be listed their.

Deployments

Currently you'll only be able to deploy this via the command line, no CD integration is setup yet.

You'll need to re-build the container before every deployment.
