  150. <h2 id="formatting-tools"><a class="header" href="#formatting-tools">Formatting tools</a></h2>
  151. <p>The Synapse codebase uses a number of code formatting tools in order to
  152. quickly and automatically check for formatting (and sometimes logical)
  153. errors in code.</p>
  154. <p>The necessary tools are detailed below.</p>
  155. <p>First install them with:</p>
  156. <pre><code class="language-sh">pip install -e &quot;.[lint,mypy]&quot;
  157. </code></pre>
  158. <ul>
  159. <li>
  160. <p><strong>black</strong></p>
  161. <p>The Synapse codebase uses <a href="https://pypi.org/project/black/">black</a>
  162. as an opinionated code formatter, ensuring all comitted code is
  163. properly formatted.</p>
  164. <p>Have <code>black</code> auto-format your code (it shouldn't change any
  165. functionality) with:</p>
  166. <pre><code class="language-sh">black . --exclude=&quot;\.tox|build|env&quot;
  167. </code></pre>
  168. </li>
  169. <li>
  170. <p><strong>flake8</strong></p>
  171. <p><code>flake8</code> is a code checking tool. We require code to pass <code>flake8</code>
  172. before being merged into the codebase.</p>
  173. <p>Check all application and test code with:</p>
  174. <pre><code class="language-sh">flake8 synapse tests
  175. </code></pre>
  176. </li>
  177. <li>
  178. <p><strong>isort</strong></p>
  179. <p><code>isort</code> ensures imports are nicely formatted, and can suggest and
  180. auto-fix issues such as double-importing.</p>
  181. <p>Auto-fix imports with:</p>
  182. <pre><code class="language-sh">isort -rc synapse tests
  183. </code></pre>
  184. <p><code>-rc</code> means to recursively search the given directories.</p>
  185. </li>
  186. </ul>
  187. <p>It's worth noting that modern IDEs and text editors can run these tools
  188. automatically on save. It may be worth looking into whether this
  189. functionality is supported in your editor for a more convenient
  190. development workflow. It is not, however, recommended to run <code>flake8</code> on
  191. save as it takes a while and is very resource intensive.</p>
  192. <h2 id="general-rules"><a class="header" href="#general-rules">General rules</a></h2>
  193. <ul>
  194. <li><strong>Naming</strong>:
  195. <ul>
  196. <li>Use camel case for class and type names</li>
  197. <li>Use underscores for functions and variables.</li>
  198. </ul>
  199. </li>
  200. <li><strong>Docstrings</strong>: should follow the <a href="https://google.github.io/styleguide/pyguide.html#38-comments-and-docstrings">google code
  201. style</a>.
  202. See the
  203. <a href="http://sphinxcontrib-napoleon.readthedocs.io/en/latest/example_google.html">examples</a>
  204. in the sphinx documentation.</li>
  205. <li><strong>Imports</strong>:
  206. <ul>
  207. <li>
  208. <p>Imports should be sorted by <code>isort</code> as described above.</p>
  209. </li>
  210. <li>
  211. <p>Prefer to import classes and functions rather than packages or
  212. modules.</p>
  213. <p>Example:</p>
  214. <pre><code class="language-python">from synapse.types import UserID
  215. ...
  216. user_id = UserID(local, server)
  217. </code></pre>
  218. <p>is preferred over:</p>
  219. <pre><code class="language-python">from synapse import types
  220. ...
  221. user_id = types.UserID(local, server)
  222. </code></pre>
  223. <p>(or any other variant).</p>
  224. <p>This goes against the advice in the Google style guide, but it
  225. means that errors in the name are caught early (at import time).</p>
  226. </li>
  227. <li>
  228. <p>Avoid wildcard imports (<code>from synapse.types import *</code>) and
  229. relative imports (<code>from .types import UserID</code>).</p>

  234. <h2 id="configuration-file-format"><a class="header" href="#configuration-file-format">Configuration file format</a></h2>
  235. <p>The <a href="./sample_config.yaml">sample configuration file</a> acts as a
  236. reference to Synapse's configuration options for server administrators.
  237. Remember that many readers will be unfamiliar with YAML and server
  238. administration in general, so that it is important that the file be as
  239. easy to understand as possible, which includes following a consistent
  240. format.</p>
  241. <p>Some guidelines follow:</p>
  242. <ul>
  243. <li>
  244. <p>Sections should be separated with a heading consisting of a single
  245. line prefixed and suffixed with <code>##</code>. There should be <strong>two</strong> blank
  246. lines before the section header, and <strong>one</strong> after.</p>
  247. </li>
  248. <li>
  249. <p>Each option should be listed in the file with the following format:</p>
  250. <ul>
  251. <li>
  252. <p>A comment describing the setting. Each line of this comment
  253. should be prefixed with a hash (<code>#</code>) and a space.</p>
  254. <p>The comment should describe the default behaviour (ie, what
  255. happens if the setting is omitted), as well as what the effect
  256. will be if the setting is changed.</p>
  257. <p>Often, the comment end with something like &quot;uncomment the
  258. following to <do action>&quot;.</p>
  259. </li>
  260. <li>
  261. <p>A line consisting of only <code>#</code>.</p>
  262. </li>
  263. <li>
  264. <p>A commented-out example setting, prefixed with only <code>#</code>.</p>
  265. <p>For boolean (on/off) options, convention is that this example
  266. should be the <em>opposite</em> to the default (so the comment will end
  267. with &quot;Uncomment the following to enable [or disable]
  268. <feature>.&quot; For other options, the example should give some
  269. non-default value which is likely to be useful to the reader.</p>
  270. </li>
  271. </ul>
  272. </li>
  273. <li>
  274. <p>There should be a blank line between each option.</p>
  275. </li>
  276. <li>
  277. <p>Where several settings are grouped into a single dict, <em>avoid</em> the
  278. convention where the whole block is commented out, resulting in
  279. comment lines starting <code># #</code>, as this is hard to read and confusing
  280. to edit. Instead, leave the top-level config option uncommented, and
  281. follow the conventions above for sub-options. Ensure that your code
  282. correctly handles the top-level option being set to <code>None</code> (as it
  283. will be if no sub-options are enabled).</p>
  284. </li>
  285. <li>
  286. <p>Lines should be wrapped at 80 characters.</p>
  287. </li>
  288. <li>
  289. <p>Use two-space indents.</p>
  290. </li>
  291. <li>
  292. <p><code>true</code> and <code>false</code> are spelt thus (as opposed to <code>True</code>, etc.)</p>
  293. </li>
  294. <li>
  295. <p>Use single quotes (<code>'</code>) rather than double-quotes (<code>&quot;</code>) or backticks
  296. (<code>`</code>) to refer to configuration options.</p>
  297. </li>
  298. </ul>
  299. <p>Example:</p>
  300. <pre><code class="language-yaml">## Frobnication ##
  301. # The frobnicator will ensure that all requests are fully frobnicated.
  302. # To enable it, uncomment the following.
  303. #
  304. #frobnicator_enabled: true
  305. # By default, the frobnicator will frobnicate with the default frobber.
  306. # The following will make it use an alternative frobber.
  307. #
  308. #frobincator_frobber: special_frobber
  309. # Settings for the frobber
  310. #
  311. frobber:
  312. # frobbing speed. Defaults to 1.
  313. #
  314. #speed: 10
  315. # frobbing distance. Defaults to 1000.
  316. #
  317. #distance: 100
  318. </code></pre>
  319. <p>Note that the sample configuration is generated from the synapse code
  320. and is maintained by a script, <code>scripts-dev/generate_sample_config</code>.
  321. Making sure that the output from this script matches the desired format
  322. is left as an exercise for the reader!</p>
