Dev Setup

A complete guild to setup your development environment :D

Requirements

python version 3.9 or higher.

Make sure you also already installed pip and venv for your Python.

Setup Automation

Try run the bin/setup.py script to automate your setup. If things work out, you can start development immeidately :)

If the auto-setup fails, continue with the manual setup instructions.

Create Virtual Environment

Start by creating your isolated Python environment with venv:

python3 -m venv .venv

In this case, .venv is the name of the directory containing your Python executable and other files. You can name it anything you want, but .venv is the most common name.

Install Packages

You will notice there are 2 files named requirements-dev.txt and requirements.txt. These files contain the name of the pip packages.

requirements-dev.txt contains the packages needed to enhance developer's experience. While requirements.txt contains the packages needed for the application to run.

Install all of these by running:

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

Pre-commit

Inorder to make sure the codebase is clean and the style is consistent between many developers, we use a few lint tools to detect and auto-fix (if possible). These can be found in .pre-commit-config.yaml. These lint tools will be run when you commit your code and you can only successfully commit if . You can also run it without commiting: pre-commit run --all-files

You're good to write your code now! :)
