# SelfPrivacy API contributors guide
## Commit messages
Instructions for [VScode](https://code.visualstudio.com) or [VScodium](https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium) under Unix-like platform.
We follow [Convetional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/) specification. Please read it before commiting.
1. **To get started, create an account for yourself on the** [**SelfPrivacy Gitea**](https://git.selfprivacy.org/user/sign_up). Proceed to fork
the [repository](https://git.selfprivacy.org/SelfPrivacy/selfprivacy-rest-api), and clone it on your local computer:
Useful plugins for IDEs:
```git clone https://git.selfprivacy.org/your_user_name/selfprivacy-rest-api```
- [VSCode](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vivaxy.vscode-conventional-commits)
- [IntelliJ](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/13389-conventional-commit)
2. **Install Nix**
```sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install)```
For detailed installation information, please review and follow: [link](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/installation/installing-binary.html#installing-a-binary-distribution).
3. **Change directory to the cloned repository and start a nix shell:**
```cd selfprivacy-rest-api && nix-shell```
Nix will install all of the necessary packages for development work, all further actions will take place only within nix-shell.
4. **Install these plugins for VScode/VScodium**
Required: ```ms-python.python```, ```ms-python.vscode-pylance```
Optional, but highly recommended: ```ms-python.black-formatter```, ```bbenoist.Nix```, ```ryanluker.vscode-coverage-gutters```
5. **Set the path to the python interpreter from the nix store.** To do this, execute the command:
```whereis python```
Copy the path that starts with ```/nix/store/``` and ends with ```env/bin/python```
```/nix/store/???-python3-3.9.??-env/bin/python```
Click on the python version selection in the lower right corner, and replace the path to the interpreter in the project with the one you copied from the terminal.
6. **Congratulations :) Now you can develop new changes and test the project locally in a Nix environment.**
## What do you need to know before starting development work?
- RestAPI is no longer utilized, the project has moved to [GraphQL](https://graphql.org), however, the API functionality still works on Rest
## What to do after making changes to the repository?
**Run unit tests** using ```pytest .```
Make sure that all tests pass successfully and the API works correctly. For convenience, you can use the built-in VScode interface.
How to review the percentage of code coverage? Execute the command:
```coverage run -m pytest && coverage xml && coverage report```
Next, use the recommended extension ```ryanluker.vscode-coverage-gutters```, navigate to one of the test files, and click the "watch" button on the bottom panel of VScode.
**Format (linting) code**, we use [black](https://pypi.org/project/black/) formatting, enter
```black .``` to automatically format files, or use the recommended extension.
**And please remember, we have adopted** [**commit naming convention**](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/), follow the link for more information.
