# Website Template # Website Template
This repository is a template to build high quality websites as a team. Welcome to our website template repository! This template is designed to help you and your team build high-quality websites efficiently. We've carefully chosen the technologies to make development smooth and enjoyable. Here's what you can expect from this template:
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 **Frontend**: Our frontend is powered by [React NextJS](https://nextjs.org/), a popular and versatile framework for building web applications.
1. Install the Nix package manager by [downloading the nix installer](https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer/releases) or executing this command: **Backend**: For the backend, we use Python along with the [FastAPI framework](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/). To ensure seamless communication between the frontend and backend, we generate an `openapi.json` file from the Python code, which defines the REST API. This file is then used with [Orval](https://orval.dev/) to generate TypeScript bindings for the REST API. We're committed to code correctness, so we use [mypy](https://mypy-lang.org/) to ensure that our Python code is statically typed correctly. For backend testing, we rely on [pytest](https://docs.pytest.org/en/7.4.x/).
```bash **Continuous Integration (CI)**: We've set up a CI bot that rigorously checks your code using the quality assurance (QA) tools mentioned above. If any errors are detected, it will block pull requests until they're resolved.
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: **Dependency Management**: We use the [Nix package manager](https://nixos.org/) to manage dependencies and ensure reproducibility, making your development process more robust.
```bash # Getting Started with the Development Environment
curl -sfL https://direnv.net/install.sh | bash
```
3. Clone the repository and cd into it Let's get your development environment up and running:
4. You should see an error message reading like this:
```bash 1. **Install Nix Package Manager**:
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 - You can install the Nix package manager by either [downloading the Nix installer](https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer/releases) or running this command:
6. Go to `pkgs/clan-cli` and execute ```bash
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix | sh -s -- install
```
```bash 2. **Install direnv**:
direnv allow
```
Then wait for the backend to build - Download the direnv package from [here](https://direnv.net/docs/installation.html) or run the following command:
7. To start the backend server then execute: ```bash
curl -sfL https://direnv.net/install.sh | bash
```
``` 3. **Clone the Repository and Navigate**:
clan webui --reload --no-open --log-level debug
```
The server will automatically restart if any Python file changes. - Clone this repository and navigate to it.
8. In a different shell go to `pkgs/ui` and execute
```bash 4. **Allow .envrc**:
direnv allow
```
Then wait for the frontend to build. - When you enter the directory, you'll receive an error message like this:
9. To start the frontend, execute: ```bash
direnv: error .envrc is blocked. Run `direnv allow` to approve its content
```
- Execute `direnv allow` to automatically execute the shell script `.envrc` when entering the directory.
```bash 5. **Build the Backend**:
npm run dev
```
Visit the website by going to [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) - Go to the `pkgs/clan-cli` directory and execute:
```bash
direnv allow
```
- Wait for the backend to build.
## Getting started: Setup Git Workflow 6. **Start the Backend Server**:
1. Register your Gitea account locally by executing - To start the backend server, execute:
```bash
clan webui --reload --no-open --log-level debug
```
- The server will automatically restart if any Python files change.
```bash 7. **Build the Frontend**:
tea login add
```
You will then see a prompt, please fill it out like outlined below: - In a different shell, navigate to the `pkgs/ui` directory and execute:
```bash
direnv allow
```
- Wait for the frontend to build.
``` 8. **Start the Frontend**:
? URL of Gitea instance: https://gitea.gchq.icu - To start the frontend, execute:
? Name of new Login [gitea.gchq.icu]: gitea.gchq.icu:7171 ```bash
? Do you have an access token? No npm run dev
? Username: MyUserName ```
? Password: ********** - Access the website by going to [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000).
? Set Optional settings: No
```
2. First add your changes to git: # Setting Up Your Git Workflow
1. `git add <file1> <file2>` your changes Let's set up your Git workflow to collaborate effectively:
2. Execute `nix fmt` to lint your files
3. `git commit -a -m "My descriptive commit message"` 1. **Register Your Gitea Account Locally**:
- Execute the following command to add your Gitea account locally:
```bash
tea login add
```
- Fill out the prompt as follows:
- 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: YourUsername
- Password: YourPassword
- Set Optional settings: No
2. **Git Workflow**:
1. Add your changes to Git using `git add <file1> <file2>`.
2. Run `nix fmt` to lint your files.
3. Commit your changes with a descriptive message: `git commit -a -m "My descriptive commit message"`.
4. Make sure your branch has the latest changes from upstream by executing: 4. Make sure your branch has the latest changes from upstream by executing:
```bash ```bash
git fetch && git rebase origin/main --autostash git fetch && git rebase origin/main --autostash
``` ```
5. Use `git status` to check for merge conflicts.
6. If conflicts exist, resolve them. Here's a tutorial for resolving conflicts in [VSCode](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/sourcecontrol/overview#_merge-conflicts).
7. After resolving conflicts, execute `git merge --continue` and repeat step 5 until there are no conflicts.
5. Execute `git status` to see if you have a merge conflict. 3. **Create a Pull Request**:
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: - To automatically open a pull request that gets merged if all tests pass, execute:
```bash
merge-after-ci
```
4. **Review Your Pull Request**:
- Visit https://gitea.gchq.icu and go to the project page. Check under "Pull Requests" for any issues with your pull request.
5. **Push Your Changes**:
- If there are issues, fix them and redo step 2. Afterward, execute:
```bash
git push origin HEAD:YourUsername-main
```
- This will directly push to your open pull request.
# Debugging
When working on the backend of your project, debugging is an essential part of the development process. Here are some methods for debugging and testing the backend of your application:
## Test Backend Locally in Devshell with Breakpoints
To test the backend locally in a development environment and set breakpoints for debugging, follow these steps:
1. Run the following command to execute your tests and allow for debugging with breakpoints:
```bash
pytest -n0 -s --maxfail=1
```
You can place `breakpoint()` in your Python code where you want to trigger a breakpoint for debugging.
## Test Backend Locally in a Nix Sandbox
To run your backend tests in a Nix sandbox, you have two options depending on whether your test functions have been marked as impure or not:
### Running Tests Marked as Impure
If your test functions need to execute `nix build` and have been marked as impure because you can't execute `nix build` inside a Nix sandbox, use the following command:
```bash ```bash
merge-after-ci nix run .#impure-checks
``` ```
4. Go to https://gitea.gchq.icu to the project page, and look under "Pull Requests" if there are any issues with it. This command will run the impure test functions.
5. If there are issues, fix them and redo step 2. Afterwards execute
``` ### Running Pure Tests
git push origin HEAD:MyUserName-main
For test functions that have not been marked as impure and don't require executing `nix build`, you can use the following command:
```bash
nix build .#checks.x86_64-linux.clan-pytest --rebuild
``` ```
to directly push to your open pull request This command will run all pure test functions.
## Using this template ### Inspecting the Nix Sandbox
Setup two new gitea accounts. If you need to inspect the Nix sandbox while running tests, follow these steps:
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. 1. Insert an endless sleep into your test code where you want to pause the execution. For example:
The second account is called `merge-bot` edit the file `pkgs/merge-after-ci/default.nix`
if the name should be different. ```python
Under Branches set the main branch to protected and add `merge-bot` to whitelisted users for pushing. import time
Also set an unprotected file pattern to `**/ui-assets.nix`. time.sleep(3600) # Sleep for one hour
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` 2. Use `cntr` and `psgrep` to attach to the Nix sandbox. This allows you to interactively debug your code while it's paused. For example:
Also the the default merge style to `Rebase then create merge commit`
```bash
cntr exec -w your_sandbox_name
psgrep -a -x your_python_process_name
```
These debugging and testing methods will help you identify and fix issues in your backend code efficiently, ensuring the reliability and robustness of your application.
# Using this Template
To make the most of this template:
1. Set up a new Gitea account named `ui-asset-bot`. Generate an access token with all access permissions and set it under `settings/actions/secrets` as a secret called `BOT_ACCESS_TOKEN`.
- Also, edit the file `.gitea/workflows/ui_assets.yaml` and change the `BOT_EMAIL` variable to match the email you set for that account. Gitea matches commits to accounts by their email address, so this step is essential.
2. Create a second Gitea account named `merge-bot`. Edit the file `pkgs/merge-after-ci/default.nix` if the name should be different. Under "Branches," set the main branch to be protected and add `merge-bot` to the whitelisted users for pushing. Set the unprotected file pattern to `**/ui-assets.nix`.
- Enable the status check for "build / test (pull_request)."
3. Add both `merge-bot` and `ui-asset-bot` as collaborators.
- Set the option to "Delete pull request branch after merge by default."
- Also, set the default merge style to "Rebase then create merge commit."
With this template, you're well-equipped to build and collaborate on high-quality websites efficiently. Happy coding!
