Develop
 
Always talk about features you want to develop by creating/finding and commenting the issue tackling your problem before you start working on it, and inform the community that you begin coding by claiming the issue.
 
Pull Request must be done on the `main` branch.
 
Until march 2023, contribution were made on the `develop` branch. This procedure is now deprecated.
 
Prerequisite for building this plugin
 
It is highly recommended to be familiar with following concepts:
 
Git
 
NodeJS
 
NPM
 
Typescript
 
To build the plugin, you must have following packages:
 
`git`
 
`npm` (>=8.x)
 
`nodejs` (>=14.x)
 
`build-essential`
 
`coreutils`
 
`wget`
 
`reuse`
 
Please note that this plugin needs an AppImage for the Prosody XMPP server. This AppImage is provided by the [Prosody AppImage](https://github.com/JohnXLivingston/prosody-appimage) sideproject. The `build-prosody.sh` script download binaries attached to this remote repository, and checks that their sha256 hashsum are correct.
 
Clone the repository, buid the plugin, and create your feature branch:
 
# Clone the repository. Dont forget the --recursive to clone submodules.
git clone https://github.com/JohnXLivingston/peertube-plugin-livechat.git --recursive

cd peertube-plugin-livechat

# Install NPM dependencies and build the module for the first time:
npm install

# Build the plugin after a modification:
npm run build

# If you have a fork from the repository, add it as remote (example):
git remote add me git@github.com:MY_GITHUB_ACCOUNT/peertube-plugin-livechat.git

# Create a local branch for you developments, and checkout it (example):
git checkout my_development # Note: if an issue is associated, use fix_1234 as your branch name (where 1234 is the issue's number)
# To propose your modifications, push your branch to your repository (example):
git push --set-upstream me my_development
# Then go to your github repository with your web browser to propose the Pull Request (see additional instructions below)
 
Once you are ready to show your code to ask for feedback, submit a *draft* Pull Request. Once you are ready for a code review before merge, submit a Pull Request. In any case, please link your PR to the issues it solves by using the GitHub syntax: "fixes #issue_number".
 
The front-end code is in the `client` folder, the back-end code in `server`. There are some shared code in `shared` folder.
 
For general instructions (developping plugins, building, installation, ...), please refer to the [Peertube documentation](https://docs.joinpeertube.org/contribute-plugins?id=write-a-plugintheme).
 
You can build the plugin with extra debug features simply by using:
 
NODE_ENV=dev npm run build
 
This plugin is [REUSE](https://reuse.software/) compliant: it uses SPDX headers to identify licensing information of its source code. More information on the [REUSE](https://reuse.software/) website. You can use the [reuse](https://reuse.readthedocs.io/en/stable/readme.html#) command line tool to help you update headers. The `npm run lint` command will use the `reuse` command to check compliance. Don't forget to add your copyright information in SPDX headers when you modify some code.
 
ESBuild vs Typescript
 
This plugin uses ESBuild for frontend code generation, as the official `peertube-plugin-quickstart` plugin. ESBuild can handle Typescript, but does not check types (see [ESBuild documentation](https://esbuild.github.io/content-types/#typescript)). That's why we first compile Typescript with the `-noEmit` option, just to check types (`check:client:ts` in package.json file). Then, if everything is okay, we run ESBuild to generate the compiled javascript.
 
Debug Mode
 
There is a debug mode for this plugin, that shorten some delay. For example, some log files will rotate every two minutes, instead of once per day. This permit to test more easily certain actions, for which it could normally take hours or days to wait.
