Froide

Froide CI

Froide is a Freedom Of Information Portal using Django 3.2 on Python 3.8+.

It is used by the German and the Austrian FOI site, but it is fully internationalized and written in English.

Development on Froide

After clone, create a Python 3.8+ virtual environment and install dependencies:

python3 -m venv froide-env
source froide-env/bin/activate

# Install dev dependencies
pip install -r requirements-test.txt

# Install git pre-commit hook
pre-commit install

Start services

You can run your own Postgres+PostGIS database and Elasticsearch service or run them with Docker.

You need docker and docker-compose. Make sure Docker is running and use the following command:

docker-compose up

This will start Postgres and Elasticsearch and listen on port 5432 and 9200 respectively. You can adjust the port mapping in the docker-compose.yml.

Setup database and search index, start server

If you need to adjust settings, you can copy the froide/local_settings.py.example to froide/local_settings.py and edit it. More steps:

# To initialise the database:
python manage.py migrate --skip-checks
# Create a superuser
python manage.py createsuperuser
# Create and populate search index
python manage.py search_index --create
python manage.py search_index --populate
# Run the Django development server
python manage.py runserver

Run tests

Make sure the services are running.

# Run all tests
make test
# Run only unit/integration tests
make testci
# Run only end-to-end tests
make testui

Development tooling

For Python code, we use flake8 following black code style. JavaScript, Vue and SCSS files are formatted and linted with ESLint and Prettier.

Make sure to have pre-commit hooks registered (pre-commit install). For VSCode, the Python, ESLint and Vetur extensions are helpful, with these workspace settings recommended:

{
  "eslint.format.enable": true,
  "eslint.packageManager": "yarn",
  "vetur.format.defaultFormatter.css": "prettier",
  "vetur.format.defaultFormatter.html": "prettier",
  "vetur.format.defaultFormatter.js": "prettier-eslint"
}

Upgrade dependencies

# with pip-tools
pip-compile -U requirements.in
pip-compile -U requirements-test.in
