# Website Template
This repository is a template to build high quality websites as a team.
The frontend uses [React NextJS
](https://nextjs.org/) and the backend uses Python with the [Fastapi framework](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/). To ensure API compatibility between frontend and backend an `openapi.json` file is generated from the Python backend code, which defines the REST API. This `openapi.json` file is then fed into [Orval](https://orval.dev/), which generates Typescript bindings for the Rest API. To ensure code correctness, we use [mypy](https://mypy-lang.org/) to ensure the Python code is correctly statically typed, and [pytest](https://docs.pytest.org/en/7.4.x/) for backend tests. A Continuos Integration (CI) Bot, verifies the code with previously mentioned Quality Assurance (QA) tools and blocks Pull requests if any errors arise.
For dependency management we use the [Nix package manager](https://nixos.org/) to ensure reproducibility.
## Getting Started: Development Environment
1. Install the Nix package manager by [downloading the nix installer](https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer/releases) or executing this command:
```bash
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix | sh -s -- install
```
2. Install direnv by [downloading the direnv package](https://direnv.net/docs/installation.html) or executing this command:
```bash
curl -sfL https://direnv.net/install.sh | bash
```
3. Clone the repository and cd into it
4. You should see an error message reading like this:
```bash
direnv: error .envrc is blocked. Run `direnv allow` to approve its content
```
5. Execute `direnv allow` to allow automatically executing the shell script `.envrc` on entering the directory
6. Go to `pkgs/clan-cli` and execute
```bash
direnv allow
```
Then wait for the backend to build
7. To start the backend server then execute:
```
clan webui --reload --no-open --log-level debug
```
The server will automatically restart if any Python file changes.
8. In a different shell go to `pkgs/ui` and execute
```bash
direnv allow
```
Then wait for the frontend to build.
9. To start the frontend, execute:
```bash
npm run dev
```
Visit the website by going to [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000)
## Getting started: Setup Git Workflow
1. Register your Gitea account locally by executing
```bash
tea login add
```
You will then see a prompt, please fill it out like outlined below:
```
? URL of Gitea instance: https://gitea.gchq.icu
? Name of new Login [gitea.gchq.icu]: gitea.gchq.icu:7171
? Do you have an access token? No
? Username: MyUserName
? Password: **********
? Set Optional settings: No
```
2. First add your changes to git:
1. `git add <file1> <file2>` your changes
2. Execute `nix fmt` to lint your files
3. `git commit -a -m "My descriptive commit message"`
4. Make sure your branch has the latest changes from upstream by executing:
```bash
git fetch && git rebase origin/main --autostash
```
5. Execute `git status` to see if you have a merge conflict.
6. If so edit the file and fix the conflict. Here is a tutorial how to do so in [vscode](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/sourcecontrol/overview#_merge-conflicts)
7. Execute `git merge --continue` and repeat step 5 till there are no conflicts anymore
3. To automatically open up a pull request, that gets merged if all tests pass execute:
```bash
merge-after-ci
```
4. Go to https://gitea.gchq.icu to the project page, and look under "Pull Requests" if there are any issues with it.
5. If there are issues, fix them and redo step 2. Afterwards execute
```
git push origin HEAD:MyUserName-main
```
to directly push to your open pull request
## Using this template
Setup two new gitea accounts.
One named `ui-asset-bot`, generate an access token for it with all access permissions and set under `settings/actions/secrets` a secret called `BOT_ACCESS_TOKEN` with the token.
Also edit the file `.gitea/workflows/ui_assets.yaml` and change the `BOT_EMAIL` variable to the email you set for that account.
The second account is called `merge-bot` edit the file `pkgs/merge-after-ci/default.nix`
if the name should be different.
Under Branches set the main branch to protected and add `merge-bot` to whitelisted users for pushing.
Also set an unprotected file pattern to `**/ui-assets.nix`.
Also set the option `Enable Status Check` to `build / test (pull_request)`
Add `merge-bot` and `ui-asset-bot` as collaborators.
Also set the option `Delete pull request branch after merge by default`
Also the the default merge style to `Rebase then create merge commit`
