# Developer Setup Guide > Before anything else, please read the [[Contributing]] guidelines. ## Prerequisites - Node.js 22+ - npm - Git - A GitHub account --- ## 1. Fork & Clone the Repository Go to the [TREK repository](https://github.com/mauriceboe/TREK) and click **Fork** to create your own copy. Then clone your fork locally: ```bash # Clone your fork, checking out the dev branch git clone -b dev git@github.com:your-username/TREK.git cd TREK ``` --- ## 2. Configure Git Remotes Add the original repository as `upstream` so you can pull in future updates: ```bash git remote add upstream git@github.com:mauriceboe/TREK.git ``` You should now have two remotes: | Remote | URL | Purpose | |------------|----------------------------------------------|--------------------------------| | `origin` | `git@github.com:your-username/TREK.git` | Your fork — push changes here | | `upstream` | `git@github.com:mauriceboe/TREK.git` | Main repo — pull updates from here | --- ## 3. Keep Your Fork Up to Date Before starting any work, make sure your local `dev` branch is in sync with upstream: ```bash git fetch upstream git rebase upstream/dev # or: git merge upstream/dev ``` --- ## 4. Create a Feature Branch Working on a dedicated branch keeps your changes isolated and makes PRs easier to review: ```bash # Create a new branch off of dev git checkout -b fix/my-changes origin/dev ``` Branch naming conventions: - `feat/short-description` for new features - `fix/short-description` for bug fixes - `chore/short-description` for maintenance tasks --- ## 5. Install Dependencies The repo is an npm workspace monorepo. One command at the root installs everything: ```bash npm ci ``` --- ## 6. Optional: KItinerary (Booking Import) The booking-confirmation import feature uses [KDE KItinerary](https://apps.kde.org/itinerary/) to parse travel documents. The server works without it, but the import endpoint will be non-functional. ### Linux — amd64 Download the static binary from the KDE CDN and verify the checksum: ```bash wget -qO /tmp/ki.tgz https://cdn.kde.org/ci-builds/pim/kitinerary/release-26.04/linux/kitinerary-extractor-x86_64-26.04.0.tgz echo "b7058d98990053c7b61847fef0c21e02d59b60e323e2b171ca210b682334e801 /tmp/ki.tgz" | sha256sum -c sudo tar -xz -C /usr/local -f /tmp/ki.tgz bin/kitinerary-extractor share/locale rm /tmp/ki.tgz ``` ### Linux — arm64 ```bash sudo apt-get install -y libkitinerary-bin sudo ln -sf "$(find /usr/lib -name kitinerary-extractor -type f | head -1)" /usr/local/bin/kitinerary-extractor ``` ### Environment variables Add these to your local `.env` (or export them before starting the server): ```bash # Required: path to the extractor binary KITINERARY_EXTRACTOR_PATH=/usr/local/bin/kitinerary-extractor # Prevent Qt from probing for a display in headless/server environments QT_QPA_PLATFORM=offscreen # KDE cache directory (avoids writing to $HOME) XDG_CACHE_HOME=/tmp/kf6-cache ``` You can override `KITINERARY_EXTRACTOR_PATH` if you installed the binary to a different location. --- ## 7. Available Scripts ### Root (`/`) These commands run across all workspaces at once and are the recommended way to work: | Command | Description | |----------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------| | `npm run dev` | Build shared, then start shared (watch), server, and client together via `concurrently` | | `npm run build` | Build shared → server → client in order | | `npm test` | Run tests in shared, server, and client | | `npm run test:cov` | Run coverage for server and client | | `npm run test:e2e` | Run end-to-end tests (server) | | `npm run lint` | Lint shared, server, and client | | `npm run format` | Format shared, server, and client | | `npm run format:check` | Check formatting across all workspaces | ### Shared (`/shared`) The `@trek/shared` package is the single source of truth for code shared between the client and server. It holds the **Zod schemas that define the API contracts** (request/response shapes, common primitives, pagination) and the **i18n translation layer** (per-language keys and types). Both workspaces import from it, so schema and translation changes propagate to both sides from one place. > **Tip:** run `npm run i18n:parity` (or `i18n:parity:strict`) in this package to verify every locale exposes the same translation keys — the CI parity gate runs the strict variant. | Command | Description | |-----------------------------|--------------------------------------| | `npm run build` | Compile shared package (tsup) | | `npm run build:watch` | Compile in watch mode | | `npm test` | Run tests | | `npm run typecheck` | Type-check without emitting | | `npm run i18n:parity` | Check locale key parity | | `npm run i18n:parity:strict`| Strict locale key parity (CI gate) | | `npm run lint` | Lint source | | `npm run format` | Format source | ### Server (`/server`) | Command | Description | |----------------------------|------------------------------------------| | `npm start` | Start the server (production) | | `npm run dev` | Start the server in watch mode | | `npm run build` | Compile server | | `npm run typecheck` | Type-check without emitting | | `npm test` | Run all tests | | `npm run test:unit` | Run unit tests only | | `npm run test:integration` | Run integration tests | | `npm run test:ws` | Run WebSocket tests | | `npm run test:e2e` | Run end-to-end tests | | `npm run test:watch` | Run tests in watch mode | | `npm run test:coverage` | Run tests with coverage report | | `npm run lint` | Lint source | | `npm run format` | Format source | ### Client (`/client`) | Command | Description | |----------------------------|------------------------------------------------------| | `npm run dev` | Start the Vite dev server | | `npm run build` | Build for production (runs icon generation first) | | `npm run preview` | Preview the production build locally | | `npm test` | Run all tests | | `npm run test:unit` | Run unit tests only | | `npm run test:integration` | Run integration tests | | `npm run test:watch` | Run tests in watch mode | | `npm run test:coverage` | Run tests with coverage report | | `npm run lint` | Lint source | | `npm run format` | Format source | --- ## 8. Commit & Push Your Changes ```bash git add . git commit -m "fix: describe your change" # Push to your fork's dev branch git push origin fix/my-changes # Or if working directly on dev git push origin dev ``` Then open a Pull Request from your fork to `mauriceboe/TREK` targeting the `dev` branch. If your PR only modifies files under `wiki/`, it is exempt from branch enforcement and may target any branch. --- ## Tips - Always branch off from an up-to-date `dev` — run `git fetch upstream && git rebase upstream/dev` before starting new work. - Run tests before pushing: `npm test` at the repo root runs all workspaces. - Follow the commit message conventions described in the [[Contributing]] guidelines.
