This project aims to be as agnostic as possible across all development environments. As such, development dependencies are purposely limited to a few critical elements:
| Dependency | Purpose |
|---|---|
| act | Allows for running the project's GitHub Actions locally. |
| Docker | Virtualization platform used for testing, running, and building code. |
| GNU Make | Primary tool for executing test, build, clean, and other commands. |
| Node.js | Used to download certain command-line packages for npx. |
| npx | Node.js package execution helper to run certain non-containerized commands. |
It's recommended to use Visual Studio Code for development and the project provides several extensions and configurations to improve development efficiency. Any IDE is acceptable, but it's up to developers working against the standard to manage their own environments if not using the project default.
You can install the project's recommended extensions and use the provided workspace configurations to reduce mistakes
and duplicate effort. To install all recommended extensions, either accept the prompt when loading this project in
Visual Studio Code, or use the make utility provided:
