❤️ Thank You

Thank you for considering a contribution to this application! The main branch is protected and you cannot push to it.

localhost / I Need Tokens!

If you want to contribute, it is imortant you are able to deploy the code and run tests locally. To do so, you will need to create a .env file which contains secrets for developers. Once you have the secrets, you can continue.

Contact the developers for the required development secrets!

Ready to Install It And Run It!

First, make sure NodeJS is installed on your machine. For download and installation instructions head to the NodeJS guide.

Also make sure Git is installed on your machine. For download and installation instruction, head to the Git guide. Note this can also be achieved by installing GitHub for Desktop.

The following is a git shell example for installing the app on your local machine.

cd /code_folder
git clone https://github.com/CenterForDigitalHumanities/TinyNode.git tiny_things
npm install

Note: do not run npm audit fix. We will do that upstream in the main branch.

Create a file named .env in the root folder. In the above example, the root is /code_folder/tiny_things. /code_folder/tiny_things/.env looks like this:

ACCESS_TOKEN = OBTAINED_FROM_ADMINS
REFRESH_TOKEN = OBTAINED_FROM_ADMINS
RERUM_REGISTRATION_URL = https://store.rerum.io/v1/
RERUM_API_ADDR = https://store.rerum.io/v1/api/
RERUM_ID_PATTERN = https://store.rerum.io/v1/id/
RERUM_ACCESS_TOKEN_URL = https://store.rerum.io/v1/client/request-new-access-token
PORT = 3005
OPEN_API_CORS = false

Now, you can run tests

npm run runtest

And start the app

npm start

Your TinyThings will attempt to run at http://localhost:3005. If port 3005 is taken, then update the .env value PORT to an open port and try to start it again.

To stop the application, kill or exit the process via your shell (CTRL + C or CTRL + X).

🎉 Ready to Start Contributing!

Excellent, way to get there. First, make a new branch through the GitHub Interface or through your shell. Make sure you 'checkout' that branch.

cd /code_folder/tiny_things
git checkout my_new_branch

Now you can make code changes and see them in real time by using npm start. When you are finished with the commits to your new branch, open a Pull Request that targets the main branch at https://github.com/CenterForDigitalHumanities/TinyNode/tree/main/.
