How to contribute

# How to contribute Welcome to v3.ocaml.org's contributing guide. Ocaml's a community-driven project and your help to v3.ocaml.org is extremely welcome. If you get stuck, please don’t hesitate to [chat with us](https://discord.com/channels/436568060288172042/585511202759770135) or [raise an issue.](https://github.com/ocaml/v3.ocaml.org-server/issues/new) Please make sure you follow our [code of conduct](https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/1/4/code-of-conduct/) at all times. ## How to get started We are particularly motivated to support new contributors and people who are looking to learn and develop their skills. - **Good First Issues** You can look at the good first issues across four repositories: - [ocaml/ood](https://github.com/ocaml/ood/labels/good%20first%20issue). - [ocaml/v3.ocaml.org](https://github.com/ocaml/v3.ocaml.org/labels/good%20first%20issue). - [ocaml-docs-ci](https://github.com/ocurrent/ocaml-docs-ci/labels/good%20first%20issue). - [ocaml/v3.ocaml.org-server](https://github.com/ocaml/v3.ocaml.org-server/labels/good%20first%20issue). - **Fix or suggest content to ocaml/ood** Add some scrapped blog posts. You can help with importing the blog posts from [here.](https://github.com/ocaml/platform-blog.) - **Implement pages** You can search through existing issues [over here](https://github.com/ocaml/v3.ocaml.org/projects/11) to find out what pages are planned for upcoming implementation. - **Translating content or pages** The translation of the the static pages is done with the PO files found in `gettext/<locale>/LC_MESSAGES/*.po`. If you would like add translations for a new language, for instance `ru`, you can copy the template files to get started: ``` mkdir -p gettext/ru/LC_MESSAGES/ cp gettext/messages.pot gettext/ru/LC_MESSAGES/messages.po ``` When adding new translatable string, you will need to add them to the `POT` and `PO` files. You can do so with the following commands: ``` dune exec ocaml-gettext -- extract _build/default/src/ocamlorg_web/lib/templates/**/*.ml > gettext/messages.pot ``` To extract the strings into the template. ``` dune exec ocaml-gettext -- merge gettext/messages.pot gettext/en/LC_MESSAGES/messages.po > gettext/en/LC_MESSAGES/messages.po ``` To merge the template file into the existing `PO` file. ``` mkdir -p gettext/ru/LC_MESSAGES/ cp gettext/messages.pot gettext/ru/LC_MESSAGES/messages.po ``` When adding new translatable string, you will need to add them to the `POT` and `PO` files. You can do so with the following commands: ``` dune exec ocaml-gettext -- extract _build/default/src/ocamlorg_web/lib/templates/**/*.ml > gettext/messages.pot ``` To extract the strings into the template. ``` dune exec ocaml-gettext -- merge gettext/messages.pot gettext/en/LC_MESSAGES/messages.po > gettext/en/LC_MESSAGES/messages.po ``` To merge the template file into the existing `PO` file. - **Adding or updating data** As stated in the readme file, src/ocaml contains the information in the data directory, packaged in the OCaml module. This makes it very easy to use data from many different projects, just like in ReScript on the [front-end of the website](https://github.com/ocaml/v3.ocaml.org). This means that most consumers of ocaml.org data do not have to worry about re-implementing the parser for the data. If you are simply adding information to the data directory that’s fine, before merging one of the maintainers can do the build locally and push the changes. If you can do a make build to generate OCaml as part of your PR, that would be great. - **File an issue** File an issue suggesting improvements [over here.](https://github.com/ocaml/v3.ocaml.org/issues/new) **Note: If you get stuck, chat with us on [Discord.](https://discord.com/channels/436568060288172042/585511202759770135)** ## Reporting bugs We use GitHub issues to track all bugs and feature requests; feel free to open an issue over [here](https://github.com/ocaml/v3.ocaml.org/issues/new) if you have found a bug or wish to see a feature implemented. ## Setup and Development ### Setting up the Project The `Makefile` contains many commands that can get you up and running, a typical workflow will be to clone the repository after forking it. ``` git clone https://github.com/<username>/v3.ocaml.org-server.git cd v3.ocaml.org-server ``` For the smoothest setup experience make sure you have some version of `npm` and `node` installed. The best way to do this is probably to [use nvm](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm/blob/master/README.md#install--update-script). You might have to source your `~/.bashrc` after installation of `nvm` then you can run something like `nvm install 16`. We use `node` and `npm` to have tailwind css. After this ensure you have `opam` installed. Opam will manage the OCaml compiler along with all of the OCaml packages needed to build and run the project. By this point we should all be using some Unix-like system (Linux, macOS, WSL2) so you should [run the opam install script](https://opam.ocaml.org/doc/Install.html#Binary-distribution). There are also manual instructions for people that don't want to run a script from the internet. We assume you are using `opam.2.1.0` or later which provides a cleaner, friendlier experience when installing system dependencies. With opam installed you can now initialise opam with `opam init`. Note in containers or WSL2 you will have to run `opam init --disable-sandboxing`. Opam might complain about some missing system dependencies like `unzip`, `cc` (a C compiler like `gcc`) etc. Make sure to install these before `opam init`. Finally from the root of your project you can setup a [local opam switch](https://opam.ocaml.org/doc/Manual.html#Switches) and install the dependencies. There is a single `make` target to do just that. ``` make switch ``` If you don't want a local opam switch and are happy to install everything globally (in the opam sense) then you can just install the dependencies directly. ``` make deps ``` Opam will likely ask questions about installing system dependencies, for the project to work you will have to answer yes to installing these. ### Running the server After building the project, you can run the server with: ```bash make start ``` To start the server in watch mode, you can run: ```bash make watch ``` This will restart the server on filesystem changes. ### Running tests You can run the unit test suite with: ```bash make test ``` ### Deploying Commits added on `main` are automatically deployed on https://v3.ocaml.org/. The deployment pipeline is managed in https://github.com/ocurrent/ocurrent-deployer which listens to the `main` branch and build the site using the `Dockerfile` at the root of the project. To test the deployment locally, you can run the following commands: ``` docker build -t v3.ocaml.org . docker run -p 8080:8080 v3.ocaml.org ``` This will build the docker image and run a docker container with the port `8080` mapped to the HTTP server. With the docker container running, you can visit the site at http://localhost:8080/. ## Git and GitHub workflow The preferred workflow for contributing to a repository is to fork the main repository on GitHub, clone, and develop on a new branch. If you aren't familiar with how to work with Github or would like to learn it, here is [a great tutorial](https://app.egghead.io/playlists/how-to-contribute-to-an-open-source-project-on-github). Feel free to use any approach while creating a pull request. Here are a few suggestions from the dev team: - If you are not sure whether your changes will be accepted or want to discuss the method before delving into it, please create an issue and ask it. - Clone the repo locally (or continue editing directly in github if the change is small). Checkout out the branch that you created. - Create a draft pull request with a small initial commit. Here's how you can [create a draft pull request.](https://github.blog/2019-02-14-introducing-draft-pull-requests/) - Continue developing, feel free to ask questions in the PR, if you run into obstacles or uncertainty as you make changes - Review your implementation according to the checks noted in the PR template - Once you feel your branch is ready, change the PR status to "ready to review" - Consult the tasks noted in the PR template - When merging, consider cleaning up the commit body - Close any issues that were addressed by this PR. ## Repository structure The following snippet describes OCaml.org's repository structure. ```text . ├── asset/ | The static assets served by the site. │ ├── data/ | Data used by ocaml.org in Yaml and Markdown format. │ ├── gettext/ | `.PO` files for static content translation. │ ├── src/ | The source code of ocaml.org. │ ├── tool/ | Sources for development tools such as the `ocamlorg_data` code generator. │ ├── dune ├── dune-project | Dune file used to mark the root of the project and define project-wide parameters. | For the documentation of the syntax, see https://dune.readthedocs.io/en/stable/dune-files.html#dune-project. │ ├── ocamlorg-data.opam ├── ocamlorg.opam ├── ocamlorg.opam.template │ opam package definitions. │ To know more about creating and publishing opam packages, see https://opam.ocaml.org/doc/Packaging.html. │ ├── package-lock.json ├── package.json | Package file for NPM packages.
