Development

This resource is a deep dive into how the development flow is with Activity timer. It'll guide you on how to setup your local developer environment & help you get started contributing!

Prerequisites

  1. GIT
  2. NodeJS 16.3.0+

Installation

First you start off by cloning the repo:

git clone [email protected]:danniehansen/activity-timer.git project-folder

& afterwards install the packages:

cd project-folder && npm install

Configuration

You're almost ready. Before proceeding you need to create a .env file containing some environment variables needed for local development.

VITE_APP_NAME="Activity timer"
VITE_APP_KEY="see-environment-variable-section"
VITE_WEBSOCKET="wss://eps2k82awh.execute-api.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/dev"
VITE_API_HOST="65ztuq0kh3.execute-api.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com"

Now the local developer environment is ready. Next up is creation of the local development powerup.

Powerup creation

First up is creating a Trello team. This is required, as a powerup needs to be connected to a team.

Once the team is setup, then you're ready to create your powerup.

Under basic information you need to fill in the iframe connector URL with: https://localhost:3001/ - this is for local development.

After this you need to enable the capabilities that the powerup uses:

  1. Board buttons
  2. Card back section
  3. Card badges
  4. Card buttons
  5. Show settings

When this is done you can create a new Trello board under your new Trello team. Here you should be able to, when adding a powerup, to select your newly created powerup.

Commands

npm run dev

This will startup the local development environment. Before you can view your powerup locally you need to open up https://localhost:3001/ & allow the self signed certificate. Once allowed you can refresh the Trello board & see your local powerup in action!

npm run lint

This will run ESlint on all of your .js / .ts files & ensure that you're compatible with Activity timers code style.

npm run analyze

This will run vue-tsc & analyze the TypeScript files for issues.

npm run test

This will run jest to perform unit testing on our application.

npm run build

This will run vite & create a production build. Command outputs to the dist folder.
