How To Contribute

Run the project

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/MonkiProjects/monki-projects-api.git

2. (Recommended) Integrate SwiftLint into your Xcode project to get warnings and errors displayed in the issue navigator

   swift package generate-xcodeproj
   open monki-projects-api.xcodeproj

   Follow SwiftLint’s instructions to add a new build phase

3. Setup PostgreSQL (easy way for macOS)

   This is the easiest way for macOS, you can do it differently if you prefer.

   1. Download Postgres.app at postgresapp.com and install it.

   2. Open the sidebar (if it’s not already open) by clicking on the button in the bottom-left corner.

   3. Create a new server called “Vapor” in the directory ~/Library/Application Support/Postgres/vapor (you can put whatever you want at this step).

   4. Click Initialize

   5. Once your server is running, double-click on the postgres database to open it.

   6. Once in the SQL prompt, run

      CREATE DATABASE vapor_database;
      CREATE USER vapor_username WITH PASSWORD 'vapor_password';

   7. Close the shell (run exit to leave the SQL prompt if needed)

   8. You should see a new database called vapor_database

   The config you should have can be found in configure.swift, but here is a recap:

   Environment variable	Value
   DATABASE_PORT	5432
   DATABASE_USERNAME	vapor_username
   DATABASE_PASSWORD	vapor_password
   DATABASE_NAME	vapor_database

   If you change these settings, you will need to add environment variables to your scheme’s Run and Test configurations.

4. Run the project

   Two possibilities:

   • Open Package.swift
   • Open your monki-projects-api.xcodeproj, go to Product > Scheme and select the Run scheme

   From there, you will be able to run the project.

5. Stop the app

   In XCode, hit the ◾ button in the top-left corner or hit ⌘+. to stop the app. If you’re running the app in a terminal, hit Ctrl+C.

6. Stop the PostgreSQL server

   If you used Postgres.app, just open it and click Stop. Otherwise, manually stop it.

Tips

Fix port 8080 still open after stopping the app

For some reason, stopping the app causes an error preventing port 8080 to be closed, here is a command that kills it (tested on macOS):

lsof -t -i tcp:8080 | xargs kill
