GITHUB PROJECT TEMPLATE

This repository provides a multi-language project template with best practices for Node.js, Python, and TypeScript. It includes:

• Pre-configured CI/CD workflows
• Docker and Compose support
• Documentation and onboarding guides
• Example scripts for build, test, and deployment
• Troubleshooting Guide
• First-Time Contributor Guide
• Editor/IDE Recommendations
• Accessibility & Inclusion

Quick Start

1. Clone the repository
2. Run the setup script: pwsh ./setup.ps1 (or bash ./scripts/setup.sh on Unix)
3. Start coding in your preferred language folder

API Testing Examples

See mock-ui/README.md for all UI/testing options, including static HTML/JS, Swagger UI, and a React+Vite mock UI.

• Python: See python/tests/test_api.py for a sample using requests and pytest.
• Node.js: See nodejs/tests/api.test.js for a sample using supertest and jest.
• TypeScript: See typescript/tests/api.test.ts for a sample using supertest and jest.
• Postman: Import postman_collection.json for ready-to-run API tests.
• Insomnia: Import insomnia_api_test.yaml for ready-to-run API tests.
• k6: Use k6-api-test.js for load/performance testing (k6 run k6-api-test.js).

For contract testing, the workflow uses Schemathesis against docs/api/openapi.yml.

What Can Be Edited vs. What Is Managed by the Template

Area / Folder	User Editable?	Purpose / Notes
nodejs/, python/, typescript/	✅	Your code, tests, and dependencies
docs/	✅	Project/user documentation
obsidian/	✅	Internal notes vault
.env.example, .env	✅	Environment variables
i18n/	✅	Sample translations for i18n
TELEMETRY_OPT_IN.md	✅	Opt-in for anonymous analytics
README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, etc.	✅	Main project docs
scripts/	⚠️	Project automation (edit with care)
.github/workflows/	⚠️	CI/CD automation (edit with care)
.husky/, python/.pre-commit-config.yaml	⚠️	Pre-commit hooks (edit with care)
Makefile, Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml	⚠️	Build/deploy automation
CODEOWNERS, SECURITY.md, etc.	⚠️	Project meta/configuration

Legend:

• ✅ = Safe to edit for your project needs
• ⚠️ = Edit with care; these are part of the template’s automation/operation

Tip: If in doubt, check the file’s header or ask a maintainer before editing.

Automation & CI/CD Highlights

• Container Security Scan: Automated Trivy scan of Docker images for vulnerabilities (container-security.yml).
• Mock API Server: Start a local mock server from your OpenAPI spec using Prism (mock-api.yml, scripts/mock-api.sh, scripts/mock-api.ps1).
• Internationalization (i18n): Sample translations and workflow (i18n/locales/, i18n-sample.yml).
• Telemetry Opt-In: Explicit opt-in for anonymous usage analytics (TELEMETRY_OPT_IN.md, telemetry-optin.yml).

Related UI & Testing Features

• Mock API UI: Multiple ways to interact with your API for onboarding, demos, and manual/automated testing. See mock-ui/README.md for:
  • Static HTML/JS (no build needed)
  • Swagger UI (OpenAPI explorer)
  • React + Vite mock UI (extensible, modern)
• Postman/Insomnia Collections: Import postman_collection.json or insomnia_api_test.yaml for ready-to-run API tests.
• Contract Testing: Automated with Schemathesis in CI (api-test.yml).

Mock API Server

You can run a local mock API server from your OpenAPI spec for contract testing and rapid prototyping:

# On Windows PowerShell
./scripts/mock-api.ps1

# On Linux/macOS (bash)
./scripts/mock-api.sh

Or use the Mock API workflow to run it in CI.

Internationalization (i18n)

Sample translation files are in i18n/locales/. Add or update translations as needed. The i18n workflow checks for translation files.

Telemetry Opt-In

This project is privacy-first. No analytics are collected unless you explicitly opt in by checking the box in TELEMETRY_OPT_IN.md. The telemetry workflow checks for this file.
