Third-party components are handled as git submodules which have to be initialized first. So aside from the regular git checkout invoking git submodule update --init or a similar command is needed, for details see Git documentation.
Several apps that are included by default in regular releases such as First run wizard or Activity are missing in master and have to be installed manually by cloning them into the apps subfolder.
Otherwise, git checkouts can be handled the same as release archives, by using the stable* branches. Note they should never be used on production systems.
Working with front-end code 🏗
Building Vue components and scripts
We are moving more and more toward using Vue.js in the front-end, starting with Settings. For building the code on changes, use these terminal commands in the root folder:
# install dependencies
make dev-setup
# build for development
make build-js
# build for development and watch edits
make watch-js
# build for production with minification
make build-js-production
Building styles
Styles are written in SCSS and compiled to css.
# install dependencies
make dev-setup
# compile style sheets
npm run sass
# compile style sheets and watch edits
npm run sass:watch
Committing changes
When making changes, also commit the compiled files!
We still use Handlebars templates in some places in Files and Settings. We will replace these step-by-step with Vue.js, but in the meantime, you need to compile them separately.
If you don’t have Handlebars installed yet, you can do it with this terminal command:
sudo npm install -g handlebars
Then inside the root folder of your local Nextcloud development installation, run this command in the terminal every time you changed a .handlebars file to compile it:
./build/compile-handlebars-templates.sh
Before checking in JS changes, make sure to also build for production:
make build-js-production
Then add the compiled files for committing.
To save some time, to only rebuild for a specific app, use the following and replace the module with the app name:
MODULE=user_status make build-js-production
Please note that if you used make build-js or make watch-js before, you'll notice that a lot of files were marked as changed, so might need to clear the workspace first.
Working with back-end code 🏗
When changing back-end PHP code, in general, no additional steps are needed before checking in.
However, if new files were created, you will need to run the following command to update the autoloader files:
build/autoloaderchecker.sh
After that, please also include the autoloader file changes in your commits.
Tools we use 🛠
- 👀 BrowserStack for cross-browser testing
- 🌊 WAVE for accessibility testing
- 🚨 Lighthouse for testing performance, accessibility, and more
