Tested on python 3.5 and 3.7 We make light use of pyenv to set an appropriate python version if installed. We could easily install a correct version too if we wanted but that seemed invasive. The newer ruamel was an annoying upgrade but also offers some improvements that exposed some test suite issues (fixed later).

Contributing
This guide explains how to set up the graphql-engine server for development on your own machine and how to contribute.
Pre-requisites
- stack
- Node.js (>= v8.9)
- npm >= 5.7
- brotli
- libpq-dev
- python >= 3.5 with pip3
- pyenv (Recommended, not required)
The Brotli can be installed from source using git
, cmake
and pkgconf
on Debian with:
$ apt-get -y update \
&& apt-get -y install git cmake pkgconf \
&& git clone https://github.com/google/brotli.git && cd brotli && mkdir out && cd out && ../configure-cmake \
&& make && make test && make install && ldconfig
The last two prerequisites can be installed on Debian with:
$ sudo apt install libpq-dev python3 python3-pip python3-venv
Upgrading npm
If your npm is too old (>= 5.7 required):
$ npm install -g npm@latest # sudo may be required
or update your nodejs.
Development workflow
You should fork the repo on github and then git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/graphql-engine
.
After making your changes
Compile
...console assets:
$ cd console
$ npm ci
$ npm run server-build
$ cd ..
...and the server:
$ cd server
$ stack build --fast
Run and Test
The easiest way to run graphql-engine
locally for development is to first
launch a new postgres container with:
$ scripts/dev.sh postgres
Then in a new terminal launch graphql-engine
in dev mode with:
$ scripts/dev.sh graphql-engine
The dev.sh
will print some helpful information and logs from both services
will be printed to screen.
You can run the test suite with:
$ scripts/dev.sh test
This should run in isolation.
Create Pull Request
- Make sure your commit messages meet the guidelines.
- Create a pull request from your forked repo to the main repo.
- Every pull request will automatically build and run the tests.
Code conventions
This helps enforce a uniform style for all committers.
- Compiler warnings are turned on, make sure your code has no warnings.
- Use hlint to make sure your code has no warnings.
- Use stylish-haskell to format your code.
