Feature Flags

You can enable features by using ENV variables. The ENV var key should follow the convention "#{feature_name}_ENABLED". For example, to enable the litestream_backups feature, add LITESTREAM_BACKUP_ENABLED=true to your .env file. You can view all the available features in app/models/feature.rb.

Deployment

The application is configured to be deployed using Kamal. Each env has its own deploy.yml file, which should be updated with the correct values for your environment. Also, remember to create a .env file per environment (e.g. .env.production) with the correct values.

Dependencies

• AppSignal for monitoring
• AWS S3 for file storage & backups

Linting & Formatting

Ruby

We use Standard Ruby for linting and formatting.

• Run bundle exec rubocop to check all ruby files
• Run bundle exec rubocop -a to auto-correct offenses
• How do I run RuboCop in my editor?

ERB

We use ERB Lint to lint our ERB files.

• Run bundle exec erblint --lint-all to check all ERB files
• Run bundle exec erblint --lint-all -a to auto-correct offenses. WARNING: This command isn't safe and can break your code.

JavaScript

We use StandardJS to lint our JavaScript files.

• Install by running npm install standard --global
• Run standard to check all JavaScript files
• Run standard --fix to auto-correct offenses
• How do I run StandardJS in my editor?
• How do I make the output more readable?

Spelling

We use Typos as a spell checker.

• Install by running brew install typos-cli
• Run typos to check all files
• Run typos -w to auto-correct offenses
• For false positives and other configuration, see the _typos.yml file

Optional - Running linters' auto-fix before a commit

Leftook will execute the linters' auto-fix on staged files and abort the commit if there are offenses that can't be auto-fixed. Run the following commands to enable this flow:

gem install lefthook
lefthook install

Code Quality

Rubycritic

Besides code reviews, we use rubycritic to generate a report of the code quality. Both as a reviewer and as a contributor, you should check the report and address the issues found if the files you are working on have a low score ("D" or "F").

• You can run it with bundle exec rubycritic

Database consistency

We use DatabaseConsistency to check for inconsistencies between the database schema and the application models.

• You can run it with bundle exec database_consistency.

Testing

Run tests by using bundle exec rspec.

System specs

• Headless is the default config. If you want to see the browser you can run the following command: HEADLESS=false bundle exec rspec
• If you want to pause the execution you can use pause inside an it statement.
• If you want to see the logs you can use :log, e.g. it "xxx", :log do
• Use data-test-id to find elements instead of classes/ids, e.g. data-test-id="decline_modal"
• Use the methods in the DataTestId module to select HTML elements, e.g., find_dti("decline_modal")
