VBV Lernwelt

Project setup is based on cookiecutter-django project template.

Run for development

# run vue vite dev server
cd client && npm run dev

# reset db and run django dev server
./prepare_server.sh

# if you only want to create some specific courses to speed up the script,
# you can use the '--courses' parameter
# see consts.py for available course ids
# ./prepare_server.sh --courses -3 -5

Installation

See .tool-versions file for used django and node version

You have to set up at least the following environment variables:

export IT_APP_ENVIRONMENT=development

See .env_secrets/local_daniel.env for more possible environment variables. Especially set correct values for POSTGRES_* and DATABASE_URL

Install git-lfs

brew install git-lfs
git lfs install

Server part

Install python dependencies:

pip install -r server/requirements/requirements-dev.txt

The "prepare_server.sh" script will create the database according to POSTGRES_* environment variables. It will also setup the tables for django and run the django development server.

# will run `migrate` and `runserver` etc...
./prepare_server.sh

# or async server
# uvicorn config.asgi:application --host 0.0.0.0 --reload

Client part

cd client

npm install

# run dev server
npm run dev

General part

Cypress is installed for client and server, so there is this package.json on the project root directory

# in project root directory
npm install

Git hooks

# install pre-push git hook
# add this line to the existing script in .git/hooks/pre-push
./git-pre-push.sh

Translations

We use (vue-i18n)[https://kazupon.github.io/vue-i18n/] for translations and (vue-i18n-extract)[https://github.com/Spittal/vue-i18n-extract] for helper scripts.

# will create a report on command line with missing translations
npm run vue-i18n-extract

# add missing translations to files, see docs for more options
cd client
npx vue-i18n-extract --add

Deployment to CapRover

CapRover Dev (vbv-lernwelt.control.iterativ.ch)

# run deploy script
./caprover_deploy.sh vbv-lernwelt

# of vbv-lernwelt is default value
./caprover_deploy.sh

CapRover Stage (myvbv-stage.iterativ.ch)

./caprover_deploy.sh myvbv-stage

CapRover Prod (myvbv.iterativ.ch)

./caprover_deploy.sh myvbv

CapRover feature branch deployment

You can deploy every feature branch to CapRover directly from Bitbucket Pipelines with a manual step.

When you run caprover_deploy.sh without arguments, it will deploy the current branch

./caprover_deploy.sh

Cleanup caprover feature branch deployments

python caprover_cleanup.py

IntelliJ Configuration

  • In the .idea/vbv_lernwelt.iml file change the module type to "PYTHON_MODULE".
  • Add django facet in "Project Structure".
  • Run configuration with "Python -> server.py" to have async debugging support.

Optional

Install the EnvFile Plugin

Install the tailwind css Plugin from Jetbrains

currents.dev

This project uses currents.dev to run the Cypress tests concurrently.
The following steps were taken to set it up:

  • Create a new project on currents.dev
  • Add the generated projectId to the cypress configuration file
  • Install @currents/cli as a dev dependency
  • Add the following script to the package.json file:
    "cypress:ci": "currents run --parallel --record --key $CURRENTS_KEY",
    
  • Create a new Bitbucket pipelines job that exports the CURRENTS_KEY and runs the cypress:ci script
  • Refactor the pipeline steps so that the dependencies are installed first and then the other steps are run in parallel.
    You can then run multiple instances of the previously created job in parallel.
    See .bitbucket-pipelines.yml for an example.

💡 The number of cypress worker jobs depends on the number of cypress tests. Too many workers for too few tests will result in a lot of idle workers.

Frontend folder structure

There are some rules when it comes to the folder structure of the frontend.

  • Every page should have its own folder in the pages folder.
  • A page component name must have the Page suffix. E.g. MyPage.vue.
  • A page is defined by being a routing target.
  • The components solely being used in a page should be in the same folder as the page.
📦 client
└─ pages
   ├─ AbcPage.vue
   ├─ AbcButton.vue
   └─ AbcListTile.vue

GraphQL

When you change something on the server side run the following command to update the graphql schema:

python manage.py graphql_schema 

On the client side you can (or even have to) run the following command to update the generated code

npm run codegen

# or in watch mode
npm run codegen:watch

Open Questions

  • The id field has to be a string?
  • Is running codegen a prerequisite so that it even works?
  • The functions is cacheExchange should be nearer the concrete implementation
