Speckle Server

The next iteration of the speckle server. Hopefully made to last!

## Contributing

### Local debugging & testing

To debug, simply run npm run dev. To test, run npm run test. To run tests in interactive mode, run npm run test-watch.

You will need to have a postgres instance running on the default settings, with two databases present, named speckle2 and speckle2_test.

Commit style

When pushing commits to this repo, please follow the following guidelines:

1. Install commitizen globally
2. When ready to commit, type in the commandline git cz & follow the prompts.

Modules

The server dynamically loads individual 'modules' from each top level folder in ./modules. It first loads the core modules, and thereafter others ("third party").

### Loading

Loading consists of two stages:

• Preflight: stage where a module can configure the behaviour of any shared middleware.
• Initialisation: final stage, where modules should hoist their routes on the core express application.

Modules can create new and alter old database tables, if the knex migration files are present in a migrations subfolder (e.g., ./modules/your-module/migrations/my-new-table.js).

Structure

A module should contain in its root folder an index.js file that exposes two functions:

exports.preflight = ( ) => { }
exports.init = ( app ) => { }

Any database migration files should be stored and named accordingly in a migrations folder. Moreover, modules should include test files. These should be located in tests. Here's a sample structure:

|-- index.js // entry file
|-- migrations
    `-- myTable.js
`-- tests
    `-- example.spec.js
