Code Documentation

Working on MOVE development? Help improve our documentation! If you come across something you'd like to see documented, first submit a bug report with the documentation label.

Once the bug report has been submitted, you can either submit a pull request, or assign it to whoever's best suited to follow up.

This repository consists of:

• lib: libraries used throughout MOVE;
• reporter: MOVE Reporter, which provides a RESTful API to fetch data-driven reports in various formats;
• scheduler: MOVE Scheduler, which provides a RESTful API to create and monitor background jobs such as bulk report generation;
• web: the MOVE web application;
  • web/main.js: entry point to the MOVE web frontend, written as an SPA (Single-Page Application) using Vue.js;
  • web/web.js: the MOVE web backend, which provides a REST API layer to access data from PostgreSQL and City of Toronto geospatial REST services;
• scripts: development, deployment, and automation scripts;
• tests: tests.

npm scripts

These scripts are listed in package.json, as per the npm-run-script documentation.

MOVE Web Backend

• backend: runs the REST API server at web/web.js on port 8100;
• backend:inspect: runs web/web.js, but also opens debugging on port 9100;
• backend:inspect-brk: like backend:inspect, but waits for a debugger to attach before running (in case you need to debug something that happens during startup);
• backend:test-api: runs web/web.js in headless testing mode on port 8080, for use during REST API tests;

Continuous Integration (CI)

• ci:jest-coverage: run all jest tests and compute coverage;
• ci:npm-audit: run npm audit to scan for known vulnerabilities in our npm dependencies;
• ci:npm-outdated: run npm outdated to scan for outdated dependency versions;
• ci:test-unit: run unit jest tests, as required for our CodeBuild pipeline;

MOVE Web Frontend

• frontend: runs webpack-dev-server to serve frontend static resources on port 8080, with hot-reloading for changes, and with webpack-bundle-analyzer running on port 9080;
• frontend:build: builds a production-ready version of our frontend static resources;

git pre-commit Hook

• pre-commit:lint-staged: run linters on any files changed in the current commit;
• pre-commit:test-unit-staged: run unit tests for any files changed since latest master.

MOVE Reporter

• reporter: runs the REST API server at reporter/reporter.js on port 8200;
• reporter:inspect: runs reporter/reporter.js, but also opens debugging on port 9200;
• reporter:inspect-brk: like reporter:inspect, but waits for a debugger to attach before running (in case you need to debug something that happens during startup);
• reporter:test-api: runs reporter/reporter.js in testing mode on port 8200, for use during REST API tests;

MOVE Scheduler

• scheduler: runs the REST API server at scheduler/scheduler.js on port 8300;
• scheduler:inspect: runs scheduler/scheduler.js, but also opens debugging on port 9300;
• scheduler:inspect-brk: like scheduler:inspect, but waits for a debugger to attach before running (in case you need to debug something that happens during startup);
• scheduler:test-api: runs scheduler/scheduler.js in testing mode on port 8300, for use during REST API tests;

Testing

• test:db-shutdown: tears down in-memory MOVE database testing harness;
• test:db-startup: starts an in-memory MOVE database testing harness;
• test:test-api: runs all REST API tests;
• test:test-db: runs all DAO tests;
• test:test-unit: runs all unit tests;

Note that test:db-startup must be run before test:test-api or test:test-db, as those tests depend on the MOVE database testing harness being operational.

Vue CLI configuration

This web application was originally generated from the following Vue CLI preset:

  "useConfigFiles": true,
  "plugins": {
    "@vue/cli-plugin-babel": {},
    "@vue/cli-plugin-eslint": {
      "config": "airbnb",
      "lintOn": [
        "save",
        "commit"
      ]
    },
    "@vue/cli-plugin-unit-jest": {},
  },
  "router": true,
  "routerHistoryMode": true,
  "vuex": true,
  "cssPreprocessor": "sass"
}
