Here are some basic instructions for local development setup and contributing to the project.
To setup local development, Poetry and Python 3.7+ are required. Python can be installed using Pyenv or normal installation from binary source. To install poetry, follow the official guideline (https://python-poetry.org/docs/#installation).
Then, in the repository directory, run the following to install all optional backend dependencies and dev dependencies:
$ poetry install -E all
Some shortcuts are included for some common development tasks, using nox:
- Run tests with:
nox -e test
- To run tests with coverage:
nox -e cover
- Format & check for lint error:
nox -e lint
- To run linting for every commit, run:
pre-commit install
Documentation is generated using Sphinx and published on readthedocs.io. To build this documentation locally:
poetry install -E docs
nox -e docs
We have GitHub Action CICD to do the checking, testing and publishing work. So, there are few small notes when making Pull Request:
- All existing tests must pass (Of course!)
- Reduction in Coverage shall result in failure. (below 98% is not accepted)
- When you are making bug fixes, or adding more features, remember to bump the version number in pyproject.toml. The number should follow semantic-versioning rules
Planned features:
- A rate limit may reset on a fixed schedule, eg: every first-day of a month
- Sometimes, we may need to apply specific rate-limiting strategies based on schedules/region or some other metrics. It requires the capability to switch the strategies instantly without re-deploying the whole service.
