## 🔧 Development
|
||||
|
||||
### Setting up Development Environment
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Quick setup (recommended):**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git clone <repository-url>
|
||||
cd unitforge
|
||||
make setup-dev # Uses uv for fast setup
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Manual setup:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git clone <repository-url>
|
||||
cd unitforge
|
||||
uv venv
|
||||
source .venv/bin/activate
|
||||
uv pip install -e ".[dev,web]"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Development workflow:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Start development server
|
||||
make server
|
||||
|
||||
# Run tests with coverage
|
||||
make test-cov
|
||||
|
||||
# Format and lint code
|
||||
make format && make lint
|
||||
|
||||
# Complete development cycle
|
||||
make dev # format + lint + test
|
||||
|
||||
# Use development helper
|
||||
./dev.sh server # Start server
|
||||
./dev.sh test # Run tests
|
||||
./dev.sh format # Format code
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Adding New Templates
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create a new template class in `backend/app/core/templates.py`
|
||||
2. Inherit from `UnitTemplate`
|
||||
3. Define parameters and generation logic
|
||||
4. Register in `TemplateRegistry`
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
class MyCustomTemplate(UnitTemplate):
|
||||
def __init__(self):
|
||||
super().__init__(
|
||||
name="my-template",
|
||||
description="My custom service template",
|
||||
unit_type=UnitType.SERVICE,
|
||||
category="Custom Services",
|
||||
parameters=[
|
||||
TemplateParameter("name", "Service name", "string"),
|
||||
# ... more parameters
|
||||
]
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
def generate(self, params):
|
||||
# Implementation
|
||||
pass
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Development Tools
|
||||
|
||||
**Quality Assurance:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
make lint # Run all linters (black, isort, flake8)
|
||||
make type-check # Run mypy type checking
|
||||
make security-check # Run bandit security scan
|
||||
make pre-commit # Run pre-commit hooks
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Package Management:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
make deps-update # Update all dependencies
|
||||
make deps-check # Check for vulnerabilities
|
||||
uv pip list # List installed packages
|
||||
uv pip show <pkg> # Show package info
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Docker Development:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
make docker-build # Build all images
|
||||
make docker-dev # Start dev environment
|
||||
make docker-test # Run tests in container
|
||||
make docker-clean # Clean up containers
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Code Style
|
||||
|
||||
- **Python**: Follow PEP 8, use type hints, formatted with Black
|
||||
- **JavaScript**: ES6+, consistent formatting
|
||||
- **HTML/CSS**: Semantic markup, responsive design
|
||||
- **Pre-commit hooks**: Automatic formatting and linting
|
||||
|
||||
## 🐳 Docker Support
|
||||
|
||||
UnitForge includes templates for containerized services:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Docker service
|
||||
./unitforge-cli template generate container \
|
||||
--param container_runtime=docker \
|
||||
--param image=myapp:latest
|
||||
|
||||
# Podman service
|
||||
./unitforge-cli template generate container \
|
||||
--param container_runtime=podman \
|
||||
--param image=registry.example.com/myapp:v1.0
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 🔍 Validation Features
|
||||
|
||||
UnitForge provides comprehensive validation:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Syntax validation**: Proper INI format, valid sections
|
||||
- **Semantic validation**: Required fields, type checking
|
||||
- **Best practices**: Security recommendations, performance tips
|
||||
- **Dependencies**: Circular dependency detection
|
||||
- **Time formats**: systemd time span validation
|
||||
- **Path validation**: File and directory path checking
|
||||
|
||||
## 🚀 Performance & Tooling
|
||||
|
||||
### Why uv?
|
||||
|
||||
UnitForge has been fully migrated to use [uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) for blazing-fast Python package management:
|
||||
|
||||
- **10-100x faster** than pip for installs
|
||||
- **Rust-powered** dependency resolution and caching
|
||||
- **Drop-in replacement** for pip with better UX
|
||||
- **Parallel downloads** and installs
|
||||
- **Consistent** cross-platform behavior
|
||||
- **Modern Python tooling** with `pyproject.toml` support
|
||||
|
||||
### Migration Benefits
|
||||
|
||||
The migration from traditional pip/npm tooling to uv provides:
|
||||
|
||||
- ⚡ **Faster CI/CD**: Dependencies install in seconds, not minutes
|
||||
- 🔒 **Better reproducibility**: More reliable dependency resolution
|
||||
- 🎯 **Modern standards**: Full `pyproject.toml` configuration
|
||||
- 🐳 **Optimized Docker**: Smaller images with faster builds
|
||||
- 🛠️ **Better DX**: Integrated tooling with consistent commands
|
||||
|
||||
