Fork this repository to your own GitHub account
Clone it to your local machine
Navigate to the cloned folder: cd hospitalrun-server

Check that env variables are set correctly

Working on Issues

In order to optimize the workflow and to prevent multiple contributors working on the same issue without interactions, a contributor must ask to be assigned to an issue by one of the core team members: it's enough to ask it inside the specific issue.

Environment

In order to run hospitalrun-server you need to set the correct environment variables. Since dotenv is already included, it is just matter of renaming .env.example file to .env: this file include all of the mandatory defaults.

Development Database

This project uses pouchdb-server for development and you, as contributor, don't need to provide your own CouchDB instance. Upon first run of the dev script (npm run dev), a new data folder will be created inside the ./db folder. The database credentials are: username: dev and password: dev. The file ./db/config.json contains the DB's configuration: you can change it if you want, but please don't commit any changes to it.

Note: PouchDB-server is meant to be use only during development. Please don't deploy any production/testing HospitalRun instances on it. For production deployments please follow the deployment guide.

Tests

Every code additions or fixs on the existing code, has to be tested. This project uses node-tap as test runner. To run all tests use npm run test.

How to commit

This repo uses Conventional Commits. Commitizen is mandatory for making proper commits. Once you have staged your changes, can run npm run commit from the root directory in order to commit following our standards.
