Getting Started

TBD

Development Setup

Prerequisites

• Node.js: 20.x or higher
• pnpm

Installation

1. Fork and clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/server.git
cd server

2. Install dependencies:

pnpm install

3. Build the project to verify setup:

pnpm build

Development Workflow

Building

Build the library for distribution:

pnpm build

Watch mode for development (rebuilds on file changes):

pnpm run dev

Formatting

Format all code using Prettier:

pnpm format

Submitting Changes

Commit Messages

We use Conventional Commits for automated releases. Format:

<type>(<scope>): <description>

[optional body]

[optional footer]

Types:

• feat: New feature (triggers minor version bump)
• fix: Bug fix (triggers patch version bump)
• docs: Documentation changes only
• test: Adding or updating tests
• chore: Maintenance tasks, dependency updates
• refactor: Code changes that neither fix bugs nor add features
• perf: Performance improvements
• ci: CI/CD configuration changes

Breaking changes:

• Use feat!: or fix!: for breaking changes (triggers major version bump)
• Or include BREAKING CHANGE: in the commit footer

Examples:

feat: add support for view operations
fix: handle empty namespace list correctly
docs: update README with new examples
test: add integration tests for table updates
feat!: change auth config structure

BREAKING CHANGE: auth configuration now uses a discriminated union

Pull Request Process

1. Create a branch from main:

   git checkout -b feat/my-feature
   

2. Make your changes following the guidelines above

3. Commit using conventional commit format:

   git commit -m "feat: add support for XYZ"
   

4. Push to your fork:

   git push origin feat/my-feature
   

5. Open a Pull Request with:

   • Clear title following conventional commit format
   • Description of what changed and why
   • Reference any related issues (e.g., "Fixes #123")
   • Screenshots/examples if adding user-facing features

6. Respond to feedback - maintainers may request changes

PR Guidelines

• Keep PRs focused - one feature or fix per PR
• Update documentation if you change public APIs
• Add tests for new functionality
• Ensure all CI checks pass
• Rebase on main if needed to resolve conflicts
• Be responsive to review feedback

Release Process

This project uses release-please for automated releases. You don't need to manually manage versions or changelogs.

How It Works

1. You commit using conventional commit format (see above)

2. release-please creates/updates a release PR automatically when changes are pushed to main

   • Updates version in package.json
   • Updates CHANGELOG.md
   • Generates release notes

3. Maintainer merges the release PR when ready to release

   • Creates a GitHub release and git tag
   • Automatically publishes to npm with provenance

Version Bumps

Versions follow Semantic Versioning:

• Major (1.0.0 → 2.0.0): Breaking changes (feat!:, fix!:, or BREAKING CHANGE:)
• Minor (1.0.0 → 1.1.0): New features (feat:)
• Patch (1.0.0 → 1.0.1): Bug fixes (fix:)

Commits with types like docs:, test:, chore: don't trigger releases on their own.

For Maintainers Only

Publishing is fully automated via GitHub Actions:

1. Merge the release-please PR when ready
2. GitHub Actions will automatically publish to npm with provenance
3. No manual npm publish needed

Questions?

• Open an issue for bugs or feature requests
• Check existing issues and PRs before creating new ones
• Tag your issues appropriately (bug, enhancement, documentation, etc.)
