## Style Tips
|
|
|
|
- In order to keep code concise and improve readability, please try to make your
|
|
functions as short as possible while keeping variable names descriptive! For
|
|
instance, use inline `do:` blocks for short functions and make your aliases as
|
|
short as possible without introducing ambiguity.
|
|
- I.e. since there's only one `Changeset` in the app, please alias
|
|
`Changeset.t(Type.t())` instead of using `Ecto.Changeset.t(Long.Type.t())`
|
|
- Use pipelines when possible. If only calling a single method, a pipeline isn't
|
|
strictly necessary but still encouraged for future modification.
|
|
- Please add typespecs to your functions! Even your private functions may be
|
|
used by others later down the line, and typespecs will be able to help
|
|
document your code just a little bit better, and improve the debugging
|
|
process.
|
|
- Typespec arguments can be named like `@spec function(arg_name :: type()) ::
|
|
return_type()`. Please use these for generic types, such as `map()` when the
|
|
input data isn't immediately obvious.
|
|
- Please define all typespecs for a function together in one place, instead of
|
|
each function header.
|
|
- When making new models, please take inspiration from the existing models in
|
|
regards to layout of sections, typespec design, and formatting.
|
|
- With Elixir convention, for methods that raise on error please name them like
|
|
`function_that_raises!()`, and functions that return a boolean like
|
|
`function_that_returns_boolean?()`. For other methods, it's encouraged to use
|
|
status tuples for other functions like `{:ok, result}` or `{:error,
|
|
reason_or_changeset}` instead of just returning `result` or `nil` for easy
|
|
pattern matching.
|
|
- Instead of using the `.` operator, try to use pattern matching instead,
|
|
especially for function headers. `.` in templates is fine to keep things
|
|
concise.
|
|
- Use `Enum` functions over comprehensions whenever possible for clarity.
|
|
However, comprehensions in templates are fine for legibility.
|
|
- When adding text, please use `gettext` macros to enable things to be
|
|
translated in the future. After adding `gettext` macros, run `mix format` in
|
|
order to add your new text strings to the files in `priv/gettext`.
|
|
- Existing domains: `"default"` (for anything general), `"prompts"`
|
|
(informational messages as a result of the user doing an action, i.e. in
|
|
flashes), `"actions"` (actions that the user can take), `"emails"`, and
|
|
`"errors"`. Using these domains accurately will let translators know which
|
|
translations are higher and lower priority. Thank you!
|
|
- Before submitting a PR, please make sure all tests are passing using `mix
|
|
test`.

# Instructions
|
|
|
|
1. Clone the repo
|
|
1. Install the elixir and erlang binaries. I recommend using [asdf version
|
|
manager](https://asdf-vm.com/guide/getting-started.html#_1-install-dependencies),
|
|
which will use the `.tool-versions` file to install the correct versions of
|
|
Erlang, Elixir and npm for this project!
|
|
1. Run `mix deps.get` and `mix compile` to fetch all dependencies
|
|
1. Run `mix setup` to initialize your database. You can reset your database at
|
|
any time with `mix ecto.reset`.
|
|
1. Run migrations with `mix ecto.migrate` or rollback with `mix ecto.rollback`.
|
|
1. Run `mix phx.server` to start the development server.
|
|
|
|
# Configuration
|
|
|
|
For development, I recommend setting environment variables with
|
|
[direnv](https://direnv.net).
|
|
|
|
By default, memEx will always bind to all external IPv4 and IPv6 addresses in
|
|
`dev` and `prod` mode, respectively. If you would like to use different values,
|
|
they will need to be overridden in `config/dev.exs` and `config/runtime.exs` for
|
|
`dev` and `prod` modes, respectively.
|
|
|
|
## `MIX_ENV=dev`
|
|
|
|
In `dev` mode, memEx will listen for these environment variables at runtime.
|
|
|
|
- `HOST`: External url to generate links with. Set this especially if you're
|
|
behind a reverse proxy. Defaults to `localhost`. External URLs will always be
|
|
generated with `https://` and port `443`.
|
|
- `PORT`: Internal port to bind to. Defaults to `4000`.
|
|
- `DATABASE_URL`: Controls the database url to connect to. Defaults to
|
|
`ecto://postgres:postgres@localhost/memex_dev`.
|
|
- `ECTO_IPV6`: Controls if Ecto should use IPv6 to connect to PostgreSQL.
|
|
Defaults to `false`.
|
|
- `POOL_SIZE`: Controls the pool size to use with PostgreSQL. Defaults to `10`.
|
|
- `REGISTRATION`: Controls if user sign-up should be invite only or set to public. Set to `public` to enable public registration. Defaults to `invite`.
|
|
- `LOCALE`: Sets a custom default locale. Defaults to `en_US`.
|
|
|
|
## `MIX_ENV=test`
|
|
|
|
In `test` mode (or in the Docker container), memEx will listen for the same environment variables as dev mode, but also include the following at runtime:
|
|
|
|
- `TEST_DATABASE_URL`: REPLACES `DATABASE_URL`. Controls the database url to
|
|
connect to. Defaults to `ecto://postgres:postgres@localhost/memex_test`.
|
|
- `MIX_TEST_PARTITION`: Only used if `TEST_DATABASE_URL` is not specified.
|
|
Appended to the default database url if you would like to partition your test
|
|
databases. Defaults to not set.
|
|
|
|
## `MIX_ENV=prod`
|
|
|
|
In `prod` mode (or in the Docker container), memEx will listen for the same environment variables as dev mode, but also include the following at runtime:
|
|
|
|
- `SECRET_KEY_BASE`: Secret key base used to sign cookies. Must be generated
|
|
with `docker run -it shibaobun/memex mix phx.gen.secret` and set for server to start.
|
|
- `SMTP_HOST`: The url for your SMTP email provider. Must be set
|
|
- `SMTP_PORT`: The port for your SMTP relay. Defaults to `587`.
|
|
- `SMTP_USERNAME`: The username for your SMTP relay. Must be set!
|
|
- `SMTP_PASSWORD`: The password for your SMTP relay. Must be set!
|
|
- `SMTP_SSL`: Set to `true` to enable SSL for emails. Defaults to `false`.
|
|
- `EMAIL_FROM`: Sets the sender email in sent emails. Defaults to
|
|
`no-reply@HOST` where `HOST` was previously defined.
|
|
- `EMAIL_NAME`: Sets the sender name in sent emails. Defaults to "memEx".
