Instructions

This section lists instructions for various things you might need to do in this repo.

This is a node.js application, so you need node environment installed. The best way is to simply download latest install of node and you will get node and npm. If you have an older version of node installed on your workstation, it may give you trouble, particularly if it's very old. So make sure you have latest node v16.x, v18.x or v20.x version, with the npm that comes with it available. Run node --version to check what version is picked up. v20.x is recommended.

Once you have a desired version of node, you can run:

Install the dependencies:

npm install

It is not uncommon to run into native library compilation problems at this point. There are various src-script/install-* scripts for different platforms. Please refer to FAQ for additional details of which script to run on different platforms and then rerun npm install.

Start the application:

npm run zap

Start the front-end in development mode:

(Supports hot-code reloading, error reporting, etc.)

quasar dev -m electron

or

npm run electron-dev

Environment variables:

Following is the list of environment variables that zap tool honors:

  • ZAP_LOGLEVEL: pino log level to start with. Default is 'warn'. You can use 'debug' or 'info', for example.
  • ZAP_TEMPSTATE: If set to 1, then instead of .zap, a unique temporary state directory will be created.
  • ZAP_DIR: Sets a state directory. Can be overriden by --stateDirectory option. If unset, default is: ~/.zap
  • ZAP_SKIP_POST_GENERATION: If there is a defined post-generation action for zap, you can set this to variable to 1 to skip it.
  • ZAP_REUSE_INSTANCE: If set to 1, default behavior of zap will be to reuse existing instance.
  • ZAP_CLEANUP_DELAY: Amount of millisecons zap will wait for cleanups to perform. This is workaround for some SQLite bug. If unset, default is: 1500
  • JENKINS_HOME: When this env variable is present, zap will assume Jenkins environment. That will assume ZAP_TEMPSTATE and ZAP_SKIP_POST_GENERATION to be 1 by default.

Husky Git hooks:

Zap repo is configured with husky git hooks, that perform some pre-commit actions, formatting code, checking the obvious problems and similar. If you properly ran npm install, all these hooks should be installed. You can make sure they are installed by running npx husky install. See .husky/pre-commit script to review the actions executed as a pre-commit hook.

Format the files:

Format staged files in Git to follow prettier.io code format.

For development, IDE integration can be found here.

This command is called via pre-commit Git hook as well.

npm run format-code

Lint the files:

npm run lint

Build the app for production:

quasar build -m electron

or

npm run electron-build

Run the unit tests:

npm run test

Regenerate the API documentation:

npm run apidoc

Customize the configuration:

See Configuring quasar.conf.js.
