A template for creating new repositories in the @orbitdb organization

This repository is meant to serve as a general template for how to set up new repositories in the @orbitdb organization. In general, setting up a new repository should take only a few minutes; use this repository as a way of finding example files, and use the following checklist to ensure that you've set up the repository correctly.

Install

These instructions are basic; you can use any method to do this work. The important part is making sure that you follow the checklist below before publishing the repository.

# Let's make a new folder
mkdir new-repo && cd new-repo
# Start a Git instance and copy over template files.
git init
cp ../repo-template/* .
# Overwrite this README
mv README.md setup-checklist.md
mv example-README.md README.md
# Go over and check off the checklist, and finally
rm setup-checklist

Checklist

Go through this checklist after creating your repository. It should only take a couple of minutes; if there is a way to make this more efficient, open an issue and let's talk about it here! \m/

README

  • Copy example-README.md from this repository to your directory.
  • Rename all instances of <Replace Title> in README to match the new repo title
  • Manually go through and edit the rest of the README.

Other Files

  • Copy CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md verbatim.
  • Copy CONTRIBUTING.md and ensure that you've added any repository-specific instructions. (Replace <Replace Title> again).
  • Should you have a CHANGELOG.md? Document your release process, if you plan on having one, in the CONTRIBUTING.md file.

Dotfiles

  • Do you need a .gitignore file?
  • Do you need an .npmignore file?

License

  • Copy the MIT license from the example repo.
  • Is Haja Networks Oy the licensor?
  • Have you added MIT as the license in the package.json?
  • If you made changes, were these reflected in the last section of the README?

GitHub Metadata

  • Have you added a short description to the repository?
    • Is the description matched in the byline under the title in the README?
  • Have you added topics to the GitHub repository: orbitdb, orbit, and so on?
    • Have you added these topics as keywords in the package.json?

package.json

  • Is the author field correct?
  • Have you added keywords?
  • Are the bugs and homepage fields correct?
  • Have you added tests? Are they matched, here?
  • Have you added a lint command, if using eslint-config-orbitdb?

Tests

  • Are there automated tests?
  • ...for the browser as well?
  • Are those reflected in CI?
  • Bonus points: Using CircleCI workflows to segment tests?
  • Extra bonus points: Are you cross-testing dependencies (i.e. are changes in orbit-db-keystore tested in orbit-db as well

Benchmarks

  • Are there benchmarks?
  • Did you run the benchmarks before / after the change or PR?
