Code of Conduct

This project follows a Code of Conduct. By participating, you are expected to uphold this code.

Getting Started

  1. Fork the repository on GitHub.

  2. Clone your fork locally:

    cd $PATH_TO_YOUR_BENCH
bench get-app https://github.com/<your-username>/xpos --branch develop
bench --site your-site.com install-app xpos

  3. Add the upstream remote:

    cd apps/xpos
git remote add upstream https://github.com/aliraxa29/xpos.git

  4. Create a new branch from develop:

    git checkout -b feat/your-feature-name develop

Development Setup

Prerequisites

Dependency Version
Python >= 3.14
Node.js >= 24
Frappe Framework v16
ERPNext v16

Pre-commit Hooks

Install pre-commit hooks to ensure code quality before every commit:

cd apps/xpos
pip install pre-commit
pre-commit install

Frontend Development

cd apps/xpos/frontend
yarn install
yarn dev          # Start Vite dev server
yarn test         # Run Vitest in watch mode

    # Python linting
ruff check xpos/

# Frontend checks
cd frontend
yarn typecheck
yarn test:run
